City of Longmont Survey:

We want to know: how would you like to share the road (or not)

If you walk, ride or roll your way around Longmont in any form, we want to hear your thoughts on how to make that experience more convenient, less stressful and even safer.

If you walk, ride or roll your way around Longmont in any form, we want to hear your thoughts on how to make that experience more convenient, less stressful and even safer. This year, the City of Longmont is developing a plan that will influence the configuration of both current and future transportation facilities throughout town. Give your input on what that looks like by taking our 2-minute, photo-based survey.

Formally, the City refers to this undertaking as development of an Enhanced Multi-Use Corridor Plan. So what that does that mean? Enhanced multi-use corridors are streets redesigned to provide safe, comfortable and low-stress bicycle and pedestrian facilities in addition to those for motor-vehicles. Enhanced street corridors provide connectivity between the City’s system of multi-use trails (think Left Hand or St. Vrain Greenways) and the City’s broader multi-modal transportation network (think streets, bicycle lanes, sidewalks).

This planning effort is guided by concepts that were included in the Parks, Recreation & Trails Master Plan and the Envision Longmont Multimodal & Comprehensive Plan. It will further develop those concepts, initiated by citizen input, and create specific direction for transportation improvements and projects.

According to Phil Greenwald, Transportation Planner, “when we talk about how to implement these corridors, there aren’t single or best answers – it really depends on community preferences so that’s why resident input is so important.”

The online survey is City staff’s first step in collecting feedback and preferences from the community; it will be open until August 15. In the fall, the City will host public workshops to review a draft plan and provide additional input. Find the survey and more at bit.ly/enhanced-corridor-plan.
