RE: [CTPP] defining TAZs

Ed: Here in Denver we have had a few problems with county boundaries because Denver is a consolidated city/county. Back when they could annex, they created weird boundaries. We have one area where the county line goes through an apartment building! Therefore, we have a few zones that cross county lines. We have dealt with this in the past by creating partial zones in each county and will plan on doing that again for 2000.

When working through that process one constraint, that is new for 2000, will be that TAZs respect county boundaries. That is, a TAZ can not cross a county boundary. Is this something that you can live with? Will this be a big problem for any regions? Here in northeastern Illinois we have tended to cross over many different political boundaries over the years but we do respect county boundaries in our planning work. thanks ed christopher please respond to the list (all recipients) so others may benefit from any comments.
