Project Background

To address neighborhood concerns, the City and County of Broomfield conducted a pilot project to see if flex posts can be a possible solution to reduce speeding and/or improve safety for all modes of travel throughout Broomfield. Flex posts were installed at Nickel St. and Lotus Way to create curb extensions. These installations can be deployed quickly at a low-cost. The intent is to change how drivers perceive the roadway width and improve safety for all modes of transportation.
