Purpose of the Study

This is an iconic destination that provides access to local communities, open spaces, historical sites, trails, stunning views of the front range, and lots of recreation opportunities. This roadway serves various users, from bicyclists and pedestrians to motorists, motorcyclists, and the occasional hang glider. It is important that this road is safe for all users who enjoy it. Therefore, the county is seeking design recommendations to improve functionality and safety for all users.
