Boulder Transportation Master Plan Update
Client: City of Boulder
Location: Boulder, Colorado
In 1979, the City of Boulder changed directions in planning for transportation by focusing on pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility rather than further investments in roadway widenings. Since that decision, the City has become nationally recognized as a leader in providing alternative modes for effectively addressing mobility. LSA was retained to update their Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TMP update focused on four unique and related areas. The first was defining and planning for multi-modal corridors, which included understanding the dynamics of transportation facilities, land use, and the design for solving transportation demand. The second area was regional connections, where emphasis on partnerships with Boulder County and adjacent cities is being undertaken. The third area, “Travel Demand Management,” emphasis was not just to identify a toolbox of programs and improvements, but to also include methods of implementation and performance measuring through Transportation Management Organizations. The fourth area was creative and innovative funding strategies. In addition to the preparation of the TMP, LSA was responsible for the development of a TransCAD Model developed from the regional transportation model. The final product was an electronic, web-based Transportation Master Plan with “Map-It” technology for examining Plan elements and implementation schedules at different levels of detail from City overview to neighborhood improvements. LSA was the winner of the National 2004 ITE “Best Practices Award” for this project, as well as the Metro Vision Award for the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
