Design Activities Project Overview Since regional travel along Woodmen Road has significantly increased, El Paso County started a process in Fall 2000 to identify specific Woodmen Road improvements from Powers Boulevard east to US 24. Over the last two years, the study has evaluated roadway speeds and deficiencies, land use/population projections, traffic volumes and environmental conditions for the county section of Woodmen Road. A thorough evaluation of technical and community opportunities has been considered with input from neighboring residents, businesses, property owners, developers and government officials.
The preliminary recommendations of the Woodmen Road Transportation Improvement Study have led to a phased approach for addressing transportation issues along the corridor. Future
land use and population projections have indicated a need for future
roadway capacity type projects. However, a final recommendation
cannot be identified until a detailed assessment

The
first safety improvement project occurred in the vicinity of Black
Forest Road and Woodmen Road . Engineering evaluations identified

Design
for the second safety improvement is completed and will be bid
in December, 2003 for the Project "B" segment of Woodmen Road from
Marksheffel Road to the Meridian Road intersection. Engineering
evaluations identified the need to:
The
final safety improvement for Woodmen Road will involve completing
the "gap" from Black Forest Road to Marksheffel Road . The design
of the project is not scheduled to begin until 2004, with possible
construction in 2005. However, this project will be coordinated
with future improvements as identified by the environmental process.
Conceptual engineering identified the following improvements:
