Project Overview
The Denver Regional Council of Governments is leading the South Boulder Road Study in partnership with Boulder County, the cities of Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, and the Regional Transportation District (RTD). The goal of this study is to develop a shared vision for the corridor by identifying current safety and mobility challenges on the corridor, and future opportunities to make the corridor more accessible for all road users. This study could help in planning for:
Improving safety for all users and reducing serious crashes
Improving transit speed and reliability along the corridor
Increasing connectivity for all users along and across the corridor
This study is part of the Denver Regional Council of Governments' Corridor Planning Program. This corridor was selected because it was identified in the Northwest Area Mobility Study for enhanced transit in 2014, and is currently included in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.

Want to offer more support? Awesome!
I'm at the point now where I just don't want any state government entity coming anywhere near our city. It seems more and more obvious that they are seeking to use our city as a worker bee colony for the city of Denver and for housing development to offset high prices around the state, not really caring that using us that way will destroy our unique and wonderful community. There have been multiple bills proposed, some passed, that run over our home rule authority and try to force us to become what THEY want and not what WE want, which would involve massive growth in a much more metropolitan style (lots of high rise apartments squeezed in anywhere THEY say they want them). Any time I see regional or corridor planning, I get very suspicious and concerned about what they are up to now. We should all be keeping a close eye on them and standing strong to protect ourselves and our city from their "plans for progress."
