Boulder County, Colo. - Boulder County, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Regional Transportation District, and the cities of Boulder and Longmont are implementing safety and mobility improvements along CO 119 (also known as the Diagonal Highway) that will make traveling through the corridor safer, faster and more reliable for all.
One of these improvements is a bikeway overpass at N. 63rd St. The County is seeking public input on the design of the bikeway overpass. Three overpass design concepts have been developed based on recent input. Now, we need the public’s help to identify the preferred concept to take to the next step.
Please complete a brief survey to tell us which of the three concepts you prefer and what design features are most important to you.
In addition, an in-person public open house will be held Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Provisions Restaurant at the Hampton Inn, located at 6315 Lookout Rd., Boulder, CO 80301. The open house aims to inform the community and gather input on the planned CO 119 Bikeway 63rd St. Overpass. Staff will be on hand to discuss project details and answer questions to interested attendees. No large presentation will be given. Spanish interpretation will be available upon request.

The public open house will also feature information about the CO 119 Branding & Wayfinding Project to create a unique corridor brand for the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route connecting Boulder and Longmont. The brand will be applied to first and final mile wayfinding signs and Bus Rapid Transit stations along the CO 119 corridor. For more information, visit the Commuting Solutions CO 119 Branding & Wayfinding Project website.
Representatives from Transportation Connections will also be on hand to discuss the upcoming Gunbarrel Shuttle project. The Gunbarrel Shuttle service will be a flex route, on-demand transit service which will provide a critical first- and last-mile connection to over 9,800 employees and 11,500 residents in and around Gunbarrel. It is a partnership between Boulder County, RTD, the City of Boulder, and the Boulder Chamber Transportation Connections. The service may begin in early 2025.
