We are planning for the future—and your voice is a critical part of the process.
The 2050 Transportation Plan is a forward-looking effort to create a smarter, safer, and more connected transportation system across Douglas County. Your input on the 2040 Transportation plan helped drive projects such as the I-25 Gap Widening, US 85 Widening, and the County Line Road between Broadway and University project, which will begin next month. Now it’s time to look ahead even further.
This comprehensive, multi-modal strategy will guide how public funds are invested in transportation improvements for decades to come.
Why Your Input Matters
From safer streets and smoother commutes to better bike paths and reliable transit options, the 2050 Transportation Plan aims to improve mobility and access for everyone, no matter how you get around. By gathering feedback from community members like you, along with local stakeholders, the plan will prioritize the projects and policies that truly reflect our collective vision for the future.
