    What are Complete Streets?

    Complete Streets accommodate all modes of transportation by planning, designing, and building

    facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and vehicle drivers. Complete Streets initiatives are partof the city’s work to create and maintain a safe and efficient transportation system meeting the

    sustainability goals of the community.

     The community identified achieving Complete Streets in Boulder as a priority whitin the city’s

     Transportation Master Plan. As a result, the city is planning and implementing solutions that increase

    safety, provide more travel choices and reduce the share of single occupant auto trips.

    As a designated Gold-Level

    Walk Friendly Community,

    Boulder is a place where

    walking is both desirable

    and enjoyable.

    In partnership with the

    Colorado-based Walk2Connect,

    Boulder Walks launched a free

    walking program in 2015 to

    celebrate the health and social

    benefits of walking as well as

    strengthen partnerships to guide

     action items to improve

    walkability in Boulder.

     The program will build on work

    completed in 2015 and aim to

    create new opportunities for

    walk-friendly advocacy and

    community walking

    programming in line with

    Boulder’s Transportation Master

    Plan (TMP).

    An objective of the program is to

    strengthen a coalition of

    individuals and community

    organizations that will work

    together in support of walk-

    friendly community design with an

     aim to increase walking trips by

    women, older adults and families

    with children.

     The Boulder Walks program

    aims to celebrate and

    encourage walking as a travel

    choice for residents and

    employees.

    BOULDERW A L S

    A series will be hosted beginning

    in May and continuing through

    the fall to increase walking

    opportunities for community

    members.

    Walks will be led by

    trained W2C Walking Movement

    Leaders and will follow monthly

    themes that emphasize one of

    the “Five E” (Engineering,

    Encouragement, Education,

    Enforcement, Evaluation)

     indentified in the TMP as a way

    to support walking as an active,

    fun travel option.

     The East Arapahoe Transportation Plan will be a long-range plan that considers a number of

    potential transportation improvements within the East Arapahoe corridor, including biking and

    walking enhancements, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and local bus service and automobile travel.

    East Arapahoe Transportation Plan

    Purpose and TimelineCOMPLETESTREETS

    Plan Purpose• Founded in the goals and Complete Streets approach of Boulder’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

    • Will address the existing and future transportation needs in the East Arapahoe Corridor, including local and regional travel, and the facilitation of safe travel and access by peopleusing all modes - walking, biking, accessing transit, & driving.

    • Will address in-commuting in a key regional corridor. Significant population growth to the east and employment growth in Boulder are projected to increase regional demand

    for travel to Boulder.

    Franklin Blvd. Phase IV Concept Plan

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a rubber-tired bus transit mode thatprovides many of the advantages of rail service—capacity, speed,and quality—at a fraction of the cost. BRT typically includes exclusivelanes or queue jumps and coordinated traffic signals with transitpriority to provide fast travel times, attracting transit riders to use theservice. These features are important even along arterial streets andthrough urban centers to realize the full travel time benefit of BRT.

    Transit Lanes. BRTcould operate inshared lanes (mixed-traffic) with queue jumps and/or signalpriority, or a semi-exclusive business-access-and-transit(BAT) lane alongthe curb, which allvehicles could useto make right-turns.Center-runningBRT would have anexclusive transit lanein the street median.

    General Traffic Lanes. There could be two or threegeneral traffic lanes in each direction on East Arapahoe,depending on the street design and the land usecontext. General traffic lanes could potentially be“repurposed” for transit lanes or on-street bike facilities,or additional right-of-way could be required.

    Transportation Demand Managementand Parking. This Plan will exploreopportunities to establish TransportationDemand Management (TDM) measuresalong East Arapahoe. TDM providesconvenient and easy to use travel options

    for Boulder residents, employees andvisitors and could include a varietyof programs, policies, and initiativescustomized for the East Arapahoecorridor. For example, mobility hubscould be developed at key locationsto provide seamless mobility betweenthe transit network and pedestrian andbicycle facilities, car/ridesharing, andcontext-appropriate parking supply. Otherexamples of TDM in the East Arapa hoecorridor might include businessEcoPasses and satellite parking forin-commuters.

    morning, and leaving in the afternoon

    • Reversible BRT lanes

    • Light rail or streetcar

    • New exclusive off-street bike path

    • Protected on-street bike facilities

    • Traffic circles to replace traditional intersections

    • Streetscape beautification as part of each alternative

    30th Street and Colorado Avenue

    30th Street and Colorado Avenue corridors provide travel options between key

    activity centers in Boulder including, University of Colorado (CU) Main and

    East campuses, housing at Williams Village and Boulder Junction.

    CU recently completed it East Campus Master Plan and Transportation

    Connections Plan which includes plans to develop additional research, office

    and classroom space. Efforts to improve travel in this area include:

    Corridors Study This study will review existing conditions

    and future plans to generate a vision for

    improved multimodal travel along 30thStreet (Baseline Road to Pearl Street) and

    Colorado Avenue (Foothills Parkway to

    18th Street/Euclid Avenue).

    Study to begin in mid-late 2016 and will

    be in coordination with the Underpass

    Project listed below.

    Bicycle and Pedestrian Underpass This project will design and construct a grade-

    separate crossing of the 30th and Colorado

    intersection. Project funding is composed of federal,

    city transportation and CU funds.

    Project design begins in mid-late 2016 with theCorridors Study. Construction to begin in 2018/19.

    Complete Streets Study

    The Canyon Boulevard Complete Streets Study is developing design options to improve

    travel for all users along and across Canyon Boulevard as well as the travel experience

    through urban design and placemaking features.

    This effort was identified during the Civic Area Master Plan process and in the 2014

    Transportation Master Plan Update. For more information about the Canyon Boulevard

    Complete Streets Study please attend the first public open house on April 27th:
