Seeks to support County assets and create a sustainable future for program

The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners has formally approved the updated Open Spaces Master Plan, which outlines priorities for the program for the next decade and beyond. This is the culmination of a yearlong process of extensive community input, research, and program analysis, and the County looks forward to putting the plan into action in the coming years.

Arapahoe County Open Spaces owns and maintains 15 parks and open spaces across the County, spanning more than 5,000 acres, 4 trailheads, and 20-plus miles of trails. Through the Shareback and Grants program, Open Spaces also funds local parks, trails and open space projects across the 13 municipalities, towns and special districts that make up the County. -Read Full Article-

New intersection configuration promises to help ease congestion

Hundreds of workdays and thousands of work hours culminated on Tuesday, June 22, with the opening of the new partial continuous flow intersection (PCFI) at Quincy Avenue and Gun Club Road.
Crews worked from Monday night and into early Tuesday morning to complete a traffic signal switch to open the intersection with the new configuration, which is designed to ease congestion and increase traffic flow through the intersection. The $12 million project is funded by Arapahoe County, City of Aurora and federal highway money.

“Drivers in this area should notice decreased congestion and improved travel times,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker said. “Innovative solutions like this intersection layout help us manage ongoing growth in that part of the County and sustain the quality of life we all enjoy.”
Aurora officials also are excited about the new intersection for its citizens. -Read Full Article-
