Midway Multimodal Plan
ARCHIVED
The City and County of Broomfield completed the development of interim and future concept plans, as well as a project report for Midway Boulevard in December 2022.
Broomfield applied for funding in 2024 to design and implement the interim improvements recommended by this plan. Broomfield has also been awarded grant funding to conduct additional public engagement and fully design the future concept beginning in 2026. This funding will advance Midway to final design for the entire corridor except the US 287 intersection.

Public Engagement Summary
Your input has been essential to ensure the proposed improvements are the right fit for the community. Your feedback has been used to help the City and County of Broomfield to develop interim and final recommendations for Midway Blvd improvements. Engagement opportunities about the draft concept plans ended in October 2022 and your feedback has been incorporated into the final plans and the project report. In total Broomfield received more than 1,800 public comments related to this project. The final interim and concept corridor improvement plans, along with the final Midway Blvd Multimodal Report will be available for your review on this Broomfield Voice page in early 2023.
How the Project Team Arrived at the Draft Concept Plans
In phase I of the design process, the City and County of Broomfield split the corridor into five character areas that shared similar existing roadway use patterns and lane configurations:
- Lake Link Trail to the US 287 Intersection
- US 287 Intersection to Main Street
- Main Street to Ash Street
- Ash Street to Sheridan Boulevard
- Sheridan Boulevard to Zuni Street
For each roadway section, three alternative roadway cross sections were developed including an interim condition, which identified short term, lower cost improvements; and two future condition cross sections.
The City and County of Broomfield asked the community to provide input on the roadway cross sections to help identify the preferred cross section for each segment of the corridor.
Draft Concept Plans
In Phase II of the alternatives development process the City and County of Broomfield has taken all of the information learned up to this point and developed draft concept plans for the entire corridor. These plans utilize the preferred cross sections from Phase I of the alternatives development, as well as crossing, intersection, and operational changes to improve the corridor. Additionally, the CIty and County of Broomfield has made recommendations to help achieve the project goals including:
- Implementing best practices for safety at intersections to improve pedestrian and bicycle visibility and driver awareness of when and where to expect pedestrians and bicycles.
- Clarifying roadway striping to enhance predictability and operations on the roadway.
- Taking measures to avoid or minimize impacts that the project team is aware of on the corridor, including: impacts to mature trees, parking, impacts outside of Broomfield right-of-way, impacts to natural resources, and, where possible avoiding impacts to existing city maintained irrigation systems.
Why is Broomfield Doing this Plan?
The City and County of Broomfield Transportation Master Plan and the Broomfield Bicycle and Pedestrian Assessment identified the need for a Midway Multimodal Plan due to high crash rates, community input, and the diverse populations and land uses along the corridor. Previous planning efforts identified improved walking and bicycling routes as part of Broomfield's low stress bike network and the need to improve crossings at major intersections in the corridor. The Midway Multimodal Plan will identify basic and enhanced design options that will allow for systematic implementation as funding is available.

Share The biggest issue along Midway is speed. Drivers see 4 lanes and they immediately think they can go 50+ mph. Another flashing-light crosswalk (or two) would help.

Share We have lived on East Midway since 1987. Traffic has definitely increased. Since putting in a merging lane at Sheridan and East Midway Blvd., there is now excessive speeding, road rage, horns honking and cars actually driving in the parking areas of E. Midway. This has become a very unsafe street in front of our house. It has become so unsafe, that we don’t have family or friends park in the front of our house. There wasn’t any of these issues prior to the merging lane. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Steven and Debra Silver on Facebook Share We have lived on East Midway since 1987.

John with BroomfieldBikes.org asked about 3 years agoThank you for your comment! Broomfield is aware of new State plans for addressing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from transportation. The State process proposes to add additional requirements to existing federally mandated long range transportation programs. Midway Blvd is not subject to these standards. However, the next phase of the project will identity multimodal designs that could increase the number of non-motorized and e-moblity options in the Midway corridor.

Share They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is especially true when it comes to projects that use engineering language! For the future concept plans and public feedback sessions, will there be aesthetic preference surveys? Even just a simple "put a blue dot on the picture you like more"? Based on the comments on the map thus far, it seems that most people want Midway to move more towards a calmer, quieter street with landscaping and protected bike lanes that's safer for the families that live along it. Providing visuals of a street designed for this, compared to visuals of a widened, barren, lifeless stroad[1][2] like 120th Avenue, would likely show this preference as well when it comes to what people want our Broomfield to look like.

Share I attended the first meeting last night. This is not a question, but a concern with this plan. I appreciate all of the “interventions” available to assist bike riders and pedestrians, however if you do not go back to the basics of the issue, nothing will change. Midway Blvd has become a high traffic raceway. Unless the speeding and volume issues are addressed, money will be spent to install and maintain “interventions”, it will still remain unsafe for the bike riders, pedestrians and the homeowners along Midway Blvd. “Interventions” need to be done to deter and slow traffic, then see how safe Midway can be. on Facebook Share I attended the first meeting last night.

Share Can the City of Broomfield also please consider building walled fencing along Sheridan Blvd to protect homeowners from noise and accidents? My home resides directly on Sheridan Blvd and a few years ago, a driver crashed through my back fence and into my yard one Sunday morning after it snowed. Her vehicle stopped after she hit one of my trees. Fortunately neither she nor anyone in my household was injured. I had to have the fencing that was destroyed by her vehicle. With the ever increasing volume of traffic on Sheridan Blvd, it is likely that more of these types of accidents can occur. There has also been a significant increase in traffic noise, vehicle exhaust, and street dirt for homeowners whose residences are located directly on side of Sheridan Blvd. Thank you on Facebook Share Can the City of Broomfield also please consider building walled fencing along Sheridan Blvd to protect homeowners from noise and accidents?
