During a three-hour meeting Thursday, the Elected Officials Transportation Committee gave direction on how to move forward with a handful of long-term and near-term improvements to the Brush Creek Park and Ride.<\/p>\n

First, the committee gave David Pesnichak, regional transportation director for the upper valley, the go-ahead to continue to the final design phase of the more long-term improvements, like putting in permanent restrooms, increasing paved area, and upping security and lighting, planned for the area.<\/p>\n

Next, it gave direction on how to explore long-term parking options and potential food trucks or farm stands over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Overall, the committee \u2014 which includes the Pitkin Board of County Commissioners, Aspen City Council and Snowmass Village Town Council \u2014 centered its directives for Pesnichak and ideas on the proposed improvements on how they would incentivize more people to use the park and ride and how that use will and should evolve into the future.<\/p>\n
