More cars, more traffic, more people means… Traffic caused issues for first responders trying to get to calls Long delays for transit Poor parking experience Unhappy locals, unhappy visitors

What are we doing about it? Destination Management Planning Consultant to take a deep dive into what is happening and what the community would like to see Result – Many perceive there are too many events, too many people Creation of a Destination Management Plan Creation of Goals “Year Round Economy”

Shared Goals – BTO and TOB Goal 1. Deliver balanced, year-round economy driven by destination tourism by 2024. Diversify what is offered – arts, historic, culinary, etc. Attract and retain entry & mid-level workforce Fill in need periods Fiber9600 Goal 2. Elevate and fiercely protect Breckenridge authentic character and brand – Our hometown feel and friendly atmosphere. Protect cultural heritage and National Historic Designation Develop more robust peak day management strategy Augment transit services (public and private), increase messaging regarding not using cars in town, reconsider parking fee structure for peak season Develop more family oriented programming and events Local, diverse workforce housing options to preserve the sense of community and support the local economy Ensure access to affordable quality childcare for local working families Enhance and develop avenues for citizens to engage so they are informed, feel heard, become involved and collaborate to find solutions

Shared Goals – BTO and TOB Goal 3. More boots & bikes, less cars Improve pedestrian access, lighting, safety and use of crosswalks Increase public transportation use and busses Reduce visitor and resident car traffic by 10% Develop and implement a balanced parking and multi-modal transportation plan that preserves the character of the community Goal 4. Establish Breckenridge at the leading edge in mountain environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Develop cutting edge messaging/programs around responsible tourism and responsible citizenry (extends beyond environmental) Improve current recycling programs, usage and education All major events are zero waste by 2024 Identify and earn appropriate national sustainability certification (LEEDS, etc) Implement action that furthers the Town’s efforts towards suitability and reduction of our community’s carbon footprint

More boots, more bikes, less cars BUT HOW??!! How much lighting? Upgrading walking corridors Since 2016 – 56 new lights, 331 upgrades Improved poles to 12ft at crosswalks Pedestrian counts – Sidewalks Crosswalks Lighting

More boots, more bikes, less cars AND… Increase public transportation and reduce car use By the numbers… Doubled the size of transit in 2017 From 7 winter routes to 10 From about 17 staff to 35 staff (FT/PT) 1,177,164 riders in 2018 – 16.6% increase from 2017 Two downtown trolleys Adding two electric busses

More boots, more bikes, less cars AND… (GULP)… PAID PARKING Implemented on street 2016 Goal – Price as low as possible to effect change Occupancy at 85% Free and frustrated in May 2017 Increase in price for high utilization areas – winter 2018 Reconsidering all pricing for 2019

What’s next… What events should we have, how do we coordinate, how do we plan… Protect the character and brand of our community; Remember what’s important Travel Demand Management – Parking, Transit, Walkability, Vehicle Use Sustainability
