Project Description

The Traffic Impact Study and conceptual design for the corridor identified potential improvements between McLaughlin Road and Latigo Boulevard. Further analysis prioritized the proposed phasing approach and identified Phase I as the priority within the available budget. Current PPRTA budget is allocated for final design and construction of Phase I, along with design of Phase II. El Paso County has postured future PPRTA funding for construction Phase II.  Portions of Phase III will be developer-led with coordination underway.
