Boulder County Seeks Feedback On State Highway 119 Draft Report

BOULDER COUNTY, CO — Boulder County is seeking public input on the draft report for the 'First and Final Mile Study for State Highway 119,' also known as the Diagonal Highway, between Boulder and Longmont.

The study looks at recommendations on bus stations, bicycle and pedestrian connections, wayfinding signage, shared parking, microtransit and Transportation Demand Management strategies.

The county is working with the city of Longmont, the city of Boulder and the transportation organization Commuting Solutions to develop the report.

"The purpose of this study is to identify strategies, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, programs, and services to increase access and ridership on the future 119 Bus Rapid Transit," the county said in a news release.

A first or final mile gap is a barrier that discourages potential riders from using transit because a station cannot be easily accessed from home, work, or other destinations.

The survey allows participants to fill out the page number they are submitting input on, followed by a space to provide a comment. A final plan is expected to be completed this summer, officials said.

The survey will remain open for public feedback until Friday, officials said.
