Folsom Street Multimodal Improvements Project

In May 2023, DRCOG approved a funding award for community engagement and conceptual design for this project. This work will begin after funds are distributed in 2025.

Folsom Street (between Pine Street and Colorado Avenue) is the third of three priority corridors in the city’s Core Arterial Network (CAN) initiative.

The CAN is a connected system of protected bicycle lanes, intersection enhancements, pedestrian facilities and transit facility upgrades. This connected system will help reduce the potential for severe crashes and make it more comfortable and convenient for people to get where they need to go along Boulder’s main corridors. The CAN initiative is one of City Council’s top ten priorities.

The Folsom Street Multimodal Improvements Project is located south of protected bicycle lanes on Folsom Street from Valmont Road to Pine Street, planned traffic signal and pedestrian crossing improvements at Folsom Street and Pine Street to be made in 2024 as part of the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), and connects to planned improvements on Colorado Avenue.
