Transportation Safety Action Plan

Thank you to everyone who participated in the in-person and virtual Broomfield Transportation Safety Action Plan (BTSAP) Open Houses! Key themes identified include:

High Injury Network Projects. Participants indicated their desire to see the projects identified as part of the High Injury Network be accomplished. This could include:

• Flashing yellow arrow signal phasing
• Protected left turns Shift left turn lanes for better visibility (positive offset)
• Improved sight distance at corners (daylighting)
• Right turn “slip lane” angle shifted for better visibility
• Retroreflective signal head backplates
• Speed limit reviews

Enhance Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety. Stakeholders and community members indicated their desire to see additional pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, creating a separation for nonmotorized vehicles. This could include optimized signal timing, pedestrian crossing treatments and updated guidelines and standards.

Speed Control and Enforcement. There were additional calls to enforce current speed limits better and implement infrastructure, such as speed cameras, that may help with enforcement efforts.

Intersection Safety and Roundabout Advocacy. Emphasis on replacing some signalized intersections with roundabouts to reduce crashes and improve traffic flow.

Thank you to everyone who participated at the in-person Public Open House on April 21! If you have additional thoughts or concerns, share them in the Virtual Open House.

At the in-person Public Open House, participants:

• Learned about about crash patterns on Broomfield's transportation network
• Prioritized which recommendations they they thought would be most impactful for improving transportation safety in Broomfield
• Read an overview of public input gathered in summer and fall 2024
• Asked questions of transportation experts

The BTSAP project team presented initial findings from the first phase of the BTSAP project to Broomfield City Council at the study session on Tuesday, Jan 21. The presentation included initial traffic data findings as well as a summary of community feedback received throughout the summer and fall.

At the study session, Broomfield City Council provided feedback on the BTSAP draft goals and voiced support for the BTSAP mission statement to “Commit to eliminating traffic-related fatalities by 2040 and serious injuries by 2045 on Broomfield-owned roadways with an eventual goal of zero on all roadways, including CDOT highways.”

Throughout the fall and winter, the BTSAP project team met with multiple stakeholder groups to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of Broomfield’s transportation network and gather feedback on initial draft BTSAP goals, ideas, strategies and solutions for improving transportation safety in Broomfield. The participants in these stakeholder groups included emergency responders, school administrators, community organizations, City and County of Broomfield staff and more. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the BTSAP open house during Broomfield Days this past Saturday! At the open house, participants had the opportunity to talk to CCOB staff about the project and add comments to large maps of Broomfield to share their transportation safety concerns and ideas. In total, over 150 people participated in the mapping activity!

You can still share your transportation safety ideas and concerns by taking the public survey and dropping pins on the map by Tuesday, Oct. 1!

Stop by the CCOB Transportation table at Broomfield Days to share your transportation-related safety concerns and to learn about the Broomfield Transportation Safety Action Plan (BTSAP). Your feedback, combined with traffic safety and collision data, will be used to draft the BTSAP and identify actions that can reduce crashes and serious injuries when traveling in Broomfield. You can also visit BroomfieldVoice.com/BTSAP to learn more about the project and engage online.

Public engagement for the BTSAP is kicking off Wednesday, July 31 at the summer concert series! Learn more about the project, take the survey and share your stories.
