Planning Commission to discuss Downtown Area Plan and grant opportunities Jan. 20 Channel Migration Hazard Mapping program also on agenda The Estes Valley Planning Commission will hold a special study session to hear staff presentations on an opportunity to complete a Downtown Area Plan and Channel Migration Hazard Mapping program. The meeting will be Jan. 20 at 6 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. View the agenda at estes.org/boardsandmeetings. Public participation in both projects is encouraged and will be critical to the success of the plans. The public is invited to attend the meeting or watch live via estes.org/videos or local cable channel 12. The recorded presentation will also be available later online. The Town of Estes Park Community Development Department will be submitting grant applications to acquire funding for both projects no later than Jan. 30. The Downtown Plan would coordinate various issues that affect downtown including flood mitigation, traffic, parking, transit, infrastructure and land uses. The Channel Migration Mapping project will map Channel Migration Zones throughout the Estes Valley. Channel Migration is the process of river channels migrating slowly over time or abruptly to new locations, which happened in numerous areas throughout the Estes Valley during the flood of 2013. If the grants are awarded, the planning process would begin by summer of 2015.
