Perhaps an advantage to CVLEG is the effort of the BF leadership to present this as a NIMBY effort to stop a jail. If this is the maximum recognition they wish to give to CVLEG; who cares.
The great outcome of this is the win that CVLEG will have in the election; and for a third year; BF will have to develop a new platform to create a questionable county.

To BBW #2 NWP & Interlocken 2

I am still learning the events leading up to the agreement on the NWP; and you, indeed gave me some interim information to digest. I am appreciative of this.
I will assure you of this however, there was an informal survey done in my neighborhood over the NW Parkway; and the cost of tolls. In order to make this work among my neighbors; tolls will have to be eliminated to ease problems on the interchange. Considering a person drives to work an average of 200 days a year; this is an added $600 dollars in a yearly expense. I will never put my car on the NW Parkway for a five mile trip to the mall. As a citizen of BF, I personally see this as destructive to open space; and no I will not pay for it.

Is there a connection to Interlocken? For several months now, it has been rumored, not confirmed, that a second Interlocken is planned at the intersection of NWP and I-25. This would explain the bus route to I-25 from the Interlocken interchange; (as part of the RTD park n ride revision; the connecting points to RTD. I was curious when this design was made public why a bus would travel to I-25; and, of course, Interlocken would have total monetary benefits from not only increased property value with the link to DIA; but also, the advantage of ease of travel between two business parks; both with the retail advantages.

To BWW on NWP (cont)

What is interesting to note is the membership balance on the NWP. In most instances; BF has more members than Lafayette and Weld, and of course, with Interlocken supportive of BF, it is easy to assume that BF and Interlocken will, most likely be supportive of each other. Does not not reduce the power of the members to actual needs of BF and Interlocken?

My understanding was that the Poundstone Amendment was considered unique to Denver and would not affect the formation of BF county; partly for the reasons you cite above. However, the question of annexation was the first controversial question to come from current county commissioners; and it was before the amendment actually went to state that Boulder open space was not included in the boundaries; and that annexation powers, currently in any direction at the rate of 3 miles per year; were reduced to create an easement of all but 1000 acres of Boulder open space; and reached to up to 6 miles into Weld county; as this was one of the few areas left for annexation. As a matter of fact this has taken place recently; all the way to Dacono I know I spelled that wrong). Many of the IGA you speak of appear to be in the spirit of "appeasement for not opposing the county formation" rather than for the benefit of the citizens. Additionally, what impact will this have have the limited growth standards of the Master Plan; if we do go to Dacono; we are over the standards of population for BF. From what I have seen, this is a mass of rooftops; not open space and parks, schools, etc.
