This parking lot matters to me!

I use the lot on occasion and it serves me well.

I am a rescue technician with Alpine Rescue, and we are disturbed to see our community assets destroyed for one man's ambition and profits.

This lot provides parking for me, a member of the Alpine Rescue Team, across the street, when we have trainings and missions, when our lot becomes overfull.

This lot is centrally located and I use it frequently when carpooling with friends to the mountains.

I park there a lot! When I meet friends we leave a car there to go to Denver.

I rely on public transportation at the subject site.

This is a great spot to meet to carpool into the mountains. Reducing traffic through the I-70 corridor should be prioritized.

We use this lot regularly for carpooling. It is convenient to all locations heading out of Evergreen ether down to Denver or up to the mountains.

Preservation

The Evergreen area needs this parking areas, especially for those who carpool or take the bus.

This is an important resource.

We need that parking lot and in addition we do not want a truck stop in Evergreen. Ever.

Very simple, it's used by many.

I use this park and ride every day.

I support ride share, carpooling, and mass transit.

I want to keep Evergreen/El Rancho intact. We don't need big changes. Keep it simple.

The El-Rancho park-n-ride lot is an invaluable resource not only for our community, but for the entire I70 corridor and Denver metro area. It encourages ride-sharing along I70 which of course needs all the ride-sharing it can get. It also brings business to those establishments off the Evergreen/El-Rancho exits. It makes much more sense as a preferred park-n-ride because of these establishments and combined trips. The new lot is great for overflow, but it should by no means completely replace the El Rancho lot… Please do not the El Rancho Park-n-Ride go. Sincerely thank you for your consideration in keeping the lot.

We've used this many times for car pooling or taking the bus to Denver.

My family of 5 uses this park and ride regularly for kid sports, sports car pool coordination, and meeting friends to go to the mountains.

I use this parking lot on a regular basis.

This lot has been used to capacity almost its entire existence. Please keep the space. Travelers meet up and carpool form here often!!

We have often used this lot, as have family members and friends. It should be used as a parking and transit facility as intended.

The El Rancho park and ride is a fantastic place to ride-share with friends. It is less prone to vandalism than the lots down the hill and provides easy access to Wal-Mart and the restaurants in the area before and after a day in the mountains! PLEASE keep it open.

To keep a close and local space for carpooling.

EL Rancho Park n Ride is a heavily used meeting place and ride share and needs to remain available to the community.

I know people who have used this parking area, and have also used it myself several times as a place to meet up and carpool.

Family and visitors to our home use this lot.

It is vital to our community with accessible parking from I70 for carpooling to save our climate.

This park n ride is always full, it serves the Evergreen community as well as Denver skiers. Don't take this away from our community.

I do not wanna lose the El Rancho. It's been there as long as I can remember. It is a big part of what Evergreen is. Also, I do not want to lose our park and ride.

I want to maintain the RTD service.

This lot is used by skiers making trips up to the mountains. Car pooling lots are needed! Please keep this lot for the community and folks traveling to/from the I-70 corridor. Thank you.

This lot is well-used and should not be abandoned so that other development can replace it, increasing traffic and diminishing the quality of life of the area.

Central location and it's the only public transport and is widely used.

This lot is still used by the people of Evergreen for ride sharing. It also should be preserved as a future transportation option - I used to use this lot all the time when I commuted to Denver.

I am 75 years old and not able to drive to Denver anymore. I need this lot to car share. I have Doctor's appointments at National Jewish that I need to get to.

I frequently use this lot for ridesharing up to the mountains. There are very few other places to meet up with friends from the Evergreen/Conifer area.

Preserving the quality of our community.

We need more ride share areas, not less.

Because at times I commute by bus and I use this park and ride myself.

To stop the overdevelopment of that intersection, increased noise, traffic, pollution, and other detriments to our mountain community.

I use this lot for ride sharing. The lot is always fairly full.

This Park N Ride is used daily by the Evergreen Community and others traveling up and down I70. It is an asset to the community! All these changes being made at this Hwy Exit is going to cause a traffic nightmare and fire evacuation hazard! Keep the parking lot, we already paid for it!

Save our green space and free parking and rides for residents.

I've used this lot as a meeting place for decades for skiing and biking. It's super convenient, and as long as the vanlifers aren't there, super safe!

This is an important and frequently used lot for ride sharing.

I believe this park and ride lot is a public good that should remain. It's used plenty. We should keep it for the future as there may be opportunities for connecting public transportation to it. Its a great location for car pooling options. Please do not discard.

Park and Ride was one of the important features for those using affordable housing in an apartment complex on El Rancho. They need the availability for parking in order to take other means of public transportation. As do many residents.

Helping people carpool is important for the state and this community.

This lot is a meeting place to form car pools with mt and city folks , this lessening the traffic on an already too busy hwy.

I use it frequently and it is a life saver for others using it as well.

Most importantly the citizens who need this service should come before commercial gain.

We use the park and ride to meet to ski. This takes at least one car off I-70.

I use this park and ride as a meeting place to carpool to events and to use the bike path.

Use it several times a year.

I do not want to see the park and ride demolished. I have used it multiple times.

Car pool

Convenience of using lot to meet people.

Because the people paid for it and it's needed also it's been there for as long as I can remember. If it wasn't being used DAILY, MAYBE I could understand but it is. Why change something that works??

This is the only lot that makes sense for Evergreen residents meeting friends who live in Denver to carpool to the mountains.

I moved to the mountains to avoid crowds, noise, and crime. Removing the Park N Ride will increase noise, traffic congestion and pollution. The new Park N Ride location is not conveniently located along the Evergreen Parkway.

Very concerned about this huge development at the beginning of our peaceful road, increased traffic, lack of park & ride for westbound traffic, decreased property values.

I use this lot daily to carpool to work.

This lot is used by multiple carpool personnel to the Henderson Mine for work.

Convenience location is great for transportation. Great location.

Encourages carpooling thus reducing traffic and pollution on I70.

I use this park n ride weekly.

We really need that Park and Ride as well as El Rancho to remain a place for locals to meet and communicate.

We often park there to carpool to the ski resort for the day. It is very convenient for us.

I use this lot all the time and people need multiple places to carpool from.

I use the lot all the time.

It is important that the area have a park n ride function for the community.

This lot has been utilized for decades by Evergreen locals to leave cars while carpooling down or up the hill. Also, by high schoolers doing the same to cut down on traffic on I70 which is over congested. It is a huge amenity for the community at large.

I use the park and ride all the time.

PnR is critical.

Convenient, not parking using a business's lot. Trail heads out along I70.

Nobody up the hill needs or wants this truck stop. Lots of people need and want a park-n-ride. Are we living in a democracy or a kleptocracy?

We already have enough cars on the road. This will help with carpooling and traffic.

Easy access off the highway.

Quick meet and easy access to 70.

The park and Ride decreases cars on I-70 which should be C-Dot's mission.

It is very important to minimize the number of cars on I-70 and to promote carpooling.

Park and rides are an important incentive for people to use public transportation.

CDOT should be encouraging car pooling, especially on I-70.

I park there.

I use this lot often.

I use that lot often. It is very convenient to I-70.

I use the lot often for its central location and convenience.

We love this lot!!

Evergreen and I-70 traffic needs a safe community parking area for carpooling, cycling start/end location, and an easy to find meeting spot.

I use this lot for ride share convenience and look forward to RTD reestablishing this as a bus stop on the way down the hill. The new park and ride built is not local enough for this purpose and not well located for security.

I use the park in ride.

Helps me carpool to the mountains.

This parking lot is a great asset to our community for car pooling for activities and work East and West of Evergreen. It is also hoped that RTD will restore service to this site. Please give serious thoughtful consideration to the needs of this community, it's citizens and visitors and the conservation of fuel. What is the benefit of destroying this asset? The new lot down the highway does not service the needs this lot provides.

This RTD space is convenient and encourages carpooling.

The "new" PnR that was built with an approximate cost of 4M dollars for an added 4 spaces (so 1M a space….how is that a good use of taxpayer dollars). It is in an inconvenient location and is designed to serve CDOTs bus traffic to and from the mountains. That lot does nothing for actual Evergreen residents that have used the El Rancho PnR for carpooling and other transportation uses for decades. It is well used still….even though they have stopped bus service that was essential to some of the residents for commuting down the hill. That lot needs to remain as a public use amenity. The taxpayers paid for it and should not have to bear the burden of its disposal to make way for more development which I assume is the plan. What? Another gas station? Maybe fast food?

My friends and I use this lot frequently for carpooling. We live in Evergreen and all my friends and family that live in Denver reduce traffic on I70 by using this lot as a rendezvous. It would be a major shame if this went away!

We need more parking lots to decrease I70 traffic. Ride sharing is the way to go!

The parking lot is used for carpooling and a place to meet which lessens traffic and congestion for all. It is a wonderful resource that benefits residents of the area either directly or indirectly.

I frequently meet up with friends at the parking lot so we can carpool to the western slope for skiing.

I use the park and ride and would like it to stay open.

Need to keep this parking lot open. Many folks use it on a daily basis.

I park here every week to meet friends for skiing and hiking.

I frequently use this park and ride lot when carpooling with friends who live in Evergreen.

I live only a few miles down Kerr Gulch and seeing increasing density makes me fear for adequate access to wildfire evacuation, etc.

Use to carpool.

More space for parking as well to help walking and bikeing.

The parking lot is next to Alpine search and rescue which volunteers need to park and ride in response vehicles to rescue missions.

Because I live nearby, I'm usually the driver who meets people from Evergreen to go to Denver. The lot's location involves no extra driving or backtracking, right off of Hwy 74 and right onto I-70. It is the obvious, best location for public parking in this area to serve the surrounding population, as well as meet local/regional transit routes.

I use this lot fairly often, it is needed.
