The City of Boulder is evaluating a variety of options for multimodal transportation improvements to the Boulder Transit Center area on 14th Street, between Canyon Boulevard and Walnut Street (in and around the area where the current RTD transit center is located).

 

The public is invited to attend an open house on Monday, March 12, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building lobby, 1777 Broadway, to review a variety of concepts currently being considered as part of this project.

 

The project, which will be jointly funded by the City of Boulder Capital Improvement Bond and a Colorado Department of Transportation FASTER grant, has the following goals:

  • Improve bus access, capacity and circulation;
  • Improve pedestrian safety, access and experience;
  • Enhance the streetscape and landscaping in the area;
  • Enhance the transit passenger drop-off zone;
  • Improve bicycle access and parking;
  • Minimize impacts to automobile parking and circulation; and
  • Improve the character and utility of the existing transit center.

 

For those unable to attend the March 12 open house, meeting materials and an online comment form are available atwww.bouldertransportation.net.

 

For more information about the open house and options being considered for Boulder Transit Center area improvements, contact Cris Jones  at 303-441-3217.

 

This project is partially funded by the city’s Capital Improvement Bond, which is the result of a 2011 ballot item that voters approved, giving the city the authority to issue a bond to address significant deficiencies and high priority infrastructure improvements throughout Boulder. For more information on the Capital Improvement Bond projects, visit www.bouldercolorado.gov/bondprojects.
