Broomfield Transportation Safety Action Plan

Get involved in the Broomfield Transportation Safety Action Plan! Share your transportation-related safety concerns and ideas using the tools at the bottom of the page. Alongside safety and collision data, your input will help guide recommendations for transportation safety improvements in Broomfield.

Project Overview - Why is this Important?

The City and County of Broomfield is developing the Broomfield Transportation Safety Action Plan (BTSAP) to identify strategic safety improvements on Broomfield’s multimodal transportation network. The plan will consist of action steps and recommendations that aim to reduce crashes and serious injuries when traveling in Broomfield.

The project will use the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe System approach, utilizing these six principles:

  • deaths and serious injuries are unacceptable
  • humans make mistakes
  • humans are vulnerable
  • responsibility is shared
  • safety is proactive
  • redundancy is crucial

The project team will analyze policies and transportation safety data, such as crash reports, to prioritize opportunities for systematic transportation safety improvements. Whether you drive, take public transit, walk or bike, the City and County of Broomfield wants to hear the community’s perceptions about safety and ideas for improvement at intersections, trails, and roads and your input on “near miss” incidents to guide potential recommendations.

Public Engagement - Your Call to Action!

To share your safety concerns about Broomfield’s transportation network, please:

  1. Take the survey by Oct. 1
  2. Drop pins on the map by Oct. 1
  3. Ask questions below!

You can also provide feedback at pop-up events, neighborhood meetings and open houses throughout the summer of 2024. Community feedback will help guide the recommendations that will be made in the action plan.

The deadline to complete the survey and add pins to the map is midnight Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024.

    Class 1 or 2 E-Bikes are allowed on sidewalks and paths. Class 3 E-Bikes are generally not permitted unless the path is within a street or highway or permitted by the local jurisdiction. The state of Colorado also provides information about e-bike cycling laws here. Additional information about E-Bikes on Broomfield trails is available here.

  • Share What is the rule/regulation regarding how trees and bushes should be trimmed back from the edge of the sidewalk--and how high up? How can I report a bike path/sidewalk issue where the vegetation (bush/tree) is narrowing/blocking transit on the path? Is that a City/County responsibility--or a landowner/HOA responsibility? I bike to & from the Paul Derda Rec center from near the corner of 144th Ave & Zuni several times a week and there are tree branches impeding transit for bikes & pedestrians on the sidewalks on both sides of 144th Ave & and on Lowell in multiple spots (and in a couple spots blocking the street's bike lanes on SB Lowell) on Facebook Share What is the rule/regulation regarding how trees and bushes should be trimmed back from the edge of the sidewalk--and how high up?

    Sight distance triangles are determined from Broomfield's standards and specifications detail 700-8. Bushes or trees need to be at least 10 ft horizontally from the intersection. If a bush or tree is within the sight distance triangle then bushes need to be trimmed down to a maximum of 3.5 ft above the pavement surface. Trees need to be limbed to a minimum of 8 ft above the pavement or sidewalk surface.

    Vegetation cannot encroach and obstruct a public sidewalk.  The property owner is responsible for keeping all trees, shrubs, and plants trimmed back to the edge of the public sidewalk.  Code Compliance will check the areas reported for any encroachments on the sidewalk and contact the responsible person to have them trimmed.    

    Reporting a concern with vegetation should go through Broomfield Code Compliance by reporting it here.  The responsibility lies with either the property owner or Broomfield depending on the exact location of the vegetation. Broomfield staff is investigating your concern along 144th and along Lowell, Thank you!
