Is this a new project?

    No. The design phase is the next step in the Midway Multimodal project. It builds on the Midway Boulevard Multimodal Plan completed in 2022, when concept plans for the corridor were developed. The current phase will refine the recommended future concept and advance it toward construction plans.

    Is the design final?

    No. The 2022 concept is the starting point. The project team is now evaluating current conditions, construction feasibility, design standards, cost, access, traffic operations, trees and landscaping, utilities, drainage, right-of-way needs and community concerns.

    What are the project limits?

    The Midway Boulevard Design project extends along Midway Boulevard from the Lake Link Trail to Zuni Street. The US 287 intersection is not included.

    Why is the US 287 intersection excluded?

    The current grant and project scope do not include the US 287 intersection. The Colorado Department of Transportation owns and maintains US 287/Wadsworth Parkway, which connects to the broader state highway system, so future changes at the intersection will require separate coordination. The City and County of Broomfield will continue coordinating with the Colorado Department of Transportation where the Midway Boulevard design connects to US 287. The Colorado Department of Transportation is also planning near-term interim improvements at the intersection.

    Will construction begin soon?

    A construction schedule has not been established. Current funding supports design and right-of-way acquisition. Construction will depend on funding, completion of design, right-of-way needs and required approvals.

    Could the project affect parking, access, trees, landscaping or adjacent property?

    The 2022 concept identified places where tradeoffs or impacts may occur. The project team will work to minimize curb relocation, changes to on-street parking, property impacts and impacts to mature trees and landscaping while meeting safety, accessibility, design and construction requirements. The project team will contact potentially affected property owners and businesses as the design becomes more specific.

    Will right-of-way be needed?

    Some right-of-way or easements may be needed. Based on current information, any needs are expected to be limited, but the exact locations and extent are not yet known. If a property may be affected, the project team will contact the owner directly and explain the process before formal acquisition steps occur.

    How will public input be used?

    The project team will document comments and organize them by topic and location. Input will help identify local conditions, concerns, priorities and tradeoffs. The team will report back on what was heard and how feedback influenced the refined concept.
