City Hosts North 30th Street Open House Sharing Recommendations for Improved Travel

The City of Boulder has completed a formal evaluation of conceptual design alternatives to make travel on north 30th Street safer, more connected and comfortable for all. The evaluation has identified a recommended conceptual street design that best balances project criteria and community priorities collected from previous public feedback, including safety for all, transportation operations, maintaining greenery, and implementation feasibility.

The community can learn more about the recommended design alternative at the in-person Open House on May 21 from 5-7 p.m. at Junkyard Social Club, 2525 Frontier Avenue, Unit A, Boulder, CO 80301. Those who can’t attend or have additional questions or feedback to share can join the Virtual Open House, available in mid-May. Public comments are welcome and will help city staff finalize the evaluation and the recommended design, both of which will be presented to the Transportation Advisory Board and City Council for a board recommendation and council action as the next step in the design process.

The project is part of Boulder's Vision Zero Action Plan to end serious and fatal crashes, as 30th Street is a current top crash location and on the High Risk Network — city streets with the highest future risk of serious and fatal crashes. The project is part of the city’s priority Core Arterial Network initiative: a comprehensive, data-driven roadway redesign effort that will make travel along Boulder’s main streets safer, more comfortable and convenient for all as directed by Boulder City Council.
