DISCUSSION:
The TMB has identified seven priority areas to focus their work on for 2026, including:
Transportation Master Plan
Public Engagement
Front Range Passenger Rail
Project Downtown / Blueprint Blvd
Sidewalks
Transit
Funding
The Joint-Study Session with City Council will focus specifically on sidewalks, transit and funding. Through public comment at TMB meetings, community engagement, presentations, and discussions with staff, TMB members identified the need to further study implementation options for building out the sidewalk network citywide and provide more localized transit service through a circulator route. TMB will present these ideas to City Council:
Neighborhood Connector Trail System: a quick-build solution for shared use paths within existing right-of-way and pavement width that could accommodate non-motorized traffic.
Circulator Transit System: replace the existing Omnibus service with both the recommended microtransit service proposed through the ArapaGO Transit Connections Study and pilot a circulator bus in core areas.
Funding: identify sustainable, dedicated funding for these programs.
