MA of Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA ITEM 2 SUBJECT: DATE: DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN PROJECT LIST MARCH 28, 2019 PRESENTED BY: ROBERT ZUCCARO, PLANNING AND BUILDING SAFETY DIRECTOR SUMMARY: Staff and the City's consultant, TEI, have been working to finalize the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) over the past few months. The completed TMP will bring together the information presented to City Council to date, including the summary of trend data and existing conditions, the defined TMP goals and community input, and the proposed projects, programs and policies. Together these elements will reflect the range of transportation needs in our community and the City's plans to address them. At the meeting staff and TEI are presenting a draft Transportation Master Plan (TMP) project list for preliminary Council discussion and direction. These projects will be a part of the complete set of recommendations included in the plan. There will also be policy and program priorities, which will be incorporated into the final draft of the TMP. For the purpose of this review, the projects have been broken out into the following categories: • Corridor Projects: This category includes major road improvement projects, including the conceptual design study for the Highway 42 widening project. • Underpasses: These improvements are focused on creating regional connections across the higher vehicular volume road network that includes Highway 42/96th Street; South Boulder Road; McCaslin Boulevard; and Dillon road • At Grade Crossings: These improvements include crosswalks, shortening intersection crossing distances, median extensions for pedestrian refuges and pedestrian and bicycle signals (e.g. flashing beacons and hawk signals). The improvements are focused on school routes and regional corridors. • Multi -Use Paths: These improvements include off-street paths and trails to enhance existing street sections and connect the existing trail network. • Bike Network: These improvements include on -street bicycle improvements such as designated lanes or shoulders, signage and other markings and designation of official routes to complete connections across the City and to regional trail connections. • Sidewalks: This category includes improved sidewalks or new sidewalk connections. • Transit: This category includes access and stop improvements and vision for expanded service.
