Longmont Transportation Mobility Plan

The various transportation modes all work together to create a complete transportation system for the City. The TMP works to provide more travel options for people in Longmont, beyond having to own their own vehicle. Additionally, the TMP works to create a safe and equitable transportation system, which means a combination of travel options sometimes using the same space. The key to a successful TMP will be how future transportation projects in the City combine to provide an integrated system where people can travel efficiently, safely, and comfortably by any mode they choose.

The section of St. Vrain Greenway trail between Price Road (the bike/ped and railroad bridge) to Sunset Street is planned to be opened to the public toward the end of 2025. After this section is opened, the section of Greenway trail under Sunset will be closed for channel improvements for up to 2 more years. Once the channel improvements are complete, work will begin on the “Hover Reach” which will impact the Greenway trail from Hover to the bike/ped bridge on the east side of Rogers Grove Nature area.  All work is planned to be complete in 2029. All future detours will be more direct than what was required for the Boston Avenue bridge replacement.

City staff is currently undertaking a project to replace the current adaptive traffic signal system. This will involve replacing the traffic signal detection and other hardware improvements. The adaptive traffic signal network will adjust signal timings throughout the day to improve travel times and minimize vehicle stops.

The City of Longmont recently adopted a new program called Vision Zero. The goal of the program is to improve multimodal safety, pedestrian crossings, and city policies to expedite requests for additional infrastructure like marked crosswalks. The Transportation Master Plan and Vision Zero Action Plan will work as commentary documents to guide future safety improvement projects. The City staff will add this location as a desired location for new, safer infrastructure for pedestrians (and bicyclists). Hopefully you’ve also been able to add this location to the interactive map (or “like” other’s comments) as well.

Thank you for your input. We’ll add this comment as a suggestion for speed limits on our Greenway trails within our TMP process.

Thank you for your interest in taking the survey. When I visit the Transportation Mobility Plan page on Engage Longmont (https://engage.longmontcolorado.gov/longmont-transportation-mobility-plan) I see the survey right above the Ask a Question section where you posted your question. If you’re not seeing the survey, this could be caused by slower internet connection loading the page more slowly on your device. If trying it again after restarting your device doesn’t help, nor does waiting a bit longer for the page to draw, you might try a different device/connection (such as using a computer at the Longmont Library). I will do some research to see if other are experiencing this problem or if our consultant has any alternative suggestions.

If you'd like to complete the survey on paper, please contact me directly at Phil.Greenwald@longmontcolorado.gov and I will send you a hard copy. 

I'm sorry to hear that the survey didn't work for you. I just took the survey myself to test it, and I did not experience any problems. I have not heard from others who have run into difficulty. I'd suggest restarting your device and trying again. If problems persist, please email me with the details including what device (iPhone, Windows desktop, etc..) you are using and any error messages you receive. scott.yoho@longmontcolorado.gov

Thank you for your input regarding icy portions of the St. Vrain Greenway. Your concerns have been forwarded to our trail maintenance group through Longmont’s ServiceWorks! website. Thanks again for your input.

Boulder has a direct bus route to the airport due to the higher ridership potential for this service than Longmont. As you stated, the bus from Boulder to DEN is often full. Boulder has a major university (33K students, with a high propensity to travel or have people visit) and approximately 3 times more employees (55,000 Longmont workers vs. 200,000 in Boulder) than Longmont. So while Longmont and Boulder have similar population numbers (around 100,000 full-time residents), these other factors weigh heavily on RTD’s decision of direct service to DEN from Longmont. Additionally, RTD often surveys a sample size of people in Longmont about their need for direct airport service.  To-date the survey responses have not indicated community support for this direct service to DEN. All that said, the TMP team will incorporate these comments as a desire for more convenient public transit service between Longmont and DEN.

There are a few dismount zones in Downtown Longmont considered “walk only” (and available to those using mobility-assist devices). There are also a few walkways in trails where bicycles are prohibited. We appreciate the comment as there appears to be a desire for more walkways/paths.
