EL JEBEL – — The Roaring Fork Regional Planning Commission will review a park-and-ride lot in El Jebel today that’s tied to a controversial intersection relocation and road realignment.
At 2:30 p.m., the Planning Commission is scheduled to start review of the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority’s proposal to build a park-and-ride lot at the former location of Mermaid’s restaurant along East Valley Road on the west side of Movieland and the Orchard Plaza commercial area. RFTA wants to build the parking lot as part of its bus rapid transit expansion.
A related component of the plan is drawing the attention of midvalley residents. Eagle County government says the intersection of El Jebel Road and Valley Road, on the south side of Highway 82, is not adequate to handle more traffic spurred by the RFTA parking lot and a possible indoor recreation center proposed at Crown Mountain Park.
