Purpose
of Project
Why is the Project Needed?
The
purpose of this project is to evaluate and construct safety, capacity
and access control improvements for the El Paso County section of
Woodmen Road. With increasing development in the northeastern portion
of the county, growth pressures placed on the six-mile stretch of
Woodmen Road extending from Powers Boulevard to Meridian Road have
been tremendous. This growth has led to an increase in residential
construction and services (schools, shopping, etc.) and a corresponding
increase in traffic congestion and traffic accidents.
The
subsequent study has evaluated roadway speeds, current road design
and conditions, land use/population projections, environmental conditions
and traffic volumes now and into the future. The roadway has been
redesigned where necessary to accommodate improvements and to meet
the county's design standards. Public involvement activities have
been conducted to assure that public issues and concerns have been
gathered and considered in the design process.
