Community can attend virtual and in-person open houses to learn more and participate

The City of Boulder invites the community to the Folsom Street Safety Improvements Project open houses to provide input toward improving travel along and across Folsom Street between Pine Street and Colorado Avenue. Community members can participate via the Virtual Open House through April 11 or join the in-person Open House on Monday, April 7, from 4-7 p.m. at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church, 2425 Colorado Ave, Boulder, 80302.

Participants at the virtual and in-person open houses can expect to learn more about the corridor, view a summary of community and business priorities based on input collected so far, and share their thoughts on the alternatives and their draft evaluation. Input will help the city identify a recommended alternative to make travel safer, more connected and more comfortable for all travelers on this important north-south street in central Boulder.

Work supports Boulder’s Vision Zero goal of ending serious injury and fatal crashes and reducing all other crashes. This part of Folsom Street falls along the city’s High Risk Network (HRN) – where nearly half of all fatal and serious injury crashes occur or are likely to occur in the future – and the regional High Risk Network (HIN) identified by the Denver Regional Council of Governments as locations with a high concentration of serious and fatal injury crashes in the Denver metro area. This part of Folsom Street is also a priority segment on the Core Arterial Network (CAN) initiative, a years-long comprehensive roadway redesign effort toward safer, more connected and more comfortable travel on 13 arterial streets.
