Fort Collins and Windsor officials quickly shut down the idea of having the cities take the responsibilities for the interchange. There idea was to do it in four phases;

Phase II - Create an interchange improvement plan after assessing corridor activity needs, transportation needs and infrastructure improvements.
Phase III - Identify financing options, determine land use and design regulations and then adopt the plan
Phase IV - develop and distribute a final plan document by June
