City of Colorado Springs 2024 Third Quarter Report – PPRTA III – A-list Capital Programs – Citywide Roadway Safety and Traffic Operations Phase I

This capital program includes intersection and corridor “spot” improvements to mitigate existing safety and traffic flow deficiencies. Proposed projects of this type will include the construction of traffic signals, roundabouts, auxiliary traffic lanes, traffic calming features, and other lower-cost geometric improvements. These projects may also install infrastructure such as guard rail, construct/reconstruct medians at intersections to improve capacity, and install traffic control devices as warranted to improve traffic operations and safety.
