Transportation in fort collins

4/10/2015

I was recently elected to the Fort Collins' Transportation Board, whose purpose is to “advise the Fort Collins City Council on transportation issues and examine issues relating to financing, the development and implementation of master plans pertaining to pedestrian, streets, transit, bicycles, automobiles, congestion, traffic signalization, and transportation facilities, the use of technology, and education of the public and private industry on transportation topics”. To do so most effectively requires strong communication between the board and the citizens of Fort Collins so we can better represent their needs and address their concerns. 

To help facilitate this, I’d like to open this blog up to comments regarding any of your Fort Collins related transportation needs.

Recent topics discussed at Transportation Board meetings include the West Central Plan and the Remington Street Greenway. In both instances I was impressed by the amount of influence board members had over decisions and am hopeful that future concerns can be addressed quickly given the strong communication between the board and city planning entities.  That being said, I will do all I can to communicate any comments you leave for me regarding transportation in Fort Collins to the board in an attempt to help decrease these problems. 

My long-term goals on the board include pitching a cycle highway and maybe even getting some 
Solar FREAKIN' Roadways! 

I look forward to hearing how we can and should make Fort Collins’ transportation even better!
