Learn About North 30th Street Design Concepts for Safer, More Connected Travel Choices

The City of Boulder has evaluated conceptual design alternatives toward making travel on north 30th Street between CO 7/Arapahoe Avenue and CO 119, also known as the Diagonal Highway, safer, more connected and comfortable. The city invites community members to view these early results, learn how their input was incorporated, and provide their feedback on the evaluation results at an in-person Open House from 5-7 p.m. on March 12 at Junkyard Social Club, 2525 Frontier Ave, Unit A, Boulder, CO 80301.

Community feedback on the evaluation will help the city bring forward a recommended conceptual design alternative this summer that best balances community priorities and project criteria. The project-specific evaluation criteria are informed by city plans, data and community input heard throughout the project, including feedback gathered online, from community conversations, and over a week of drop-in, open design studio events in January where community members could join project staff and provide input during the development of the conceptual design alternatives.

The project is in the process of completing the Community and Environmental Assessment Process (CEAP) evaluation which considers consistency with overarching community goals in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan as well as potential social and environmental impacts, project-specific criteria and community feedback. Community members can learn more about the twenty-one evaluation criteria and CEAP checklist at the open house. Those who can’t attend or have additional questions, concerns or ideas to share can join the Virtual Open House from March 10-21 or stop by any of three in-person office hours at locations along the corridor to speak with the project team during the week of March 17.

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 also supports the city’s priority Core Arterial Network initiative, the connected system of transportation improvements along Boulder’s main corridors that will make it safer, more comfortable and convenient for people to get where they need to go no matter how they travel.
