City of Colorado Springs 2024 Second Quarter Report – A-list Capital Programs – Citywide Pedestrian Transportation Improvements Phase I, Citywide School and Neighborhood Pedestrian Improvements Phase I

These programs are collectively referred to as the Citywide Sidewalk Infill Program. The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Intermodal Transportation Plan (ITP), and the Complete Streets Policy strongly recommend streets be designed to accommodate safe and efficient pedestrian access. There are many locations in the city where safe and adequate pedestrian travel and access are not provided. Proposed pedestrian improvements will continue to construct missing pedestrian connections along transportation facilities, schools, and neighborhoods and will follow the Operations and Maintenance Division quadrant approach to improve safety and develop/implement improved pedestrian connectivity.
