Body
Summary:
The City of Colorado Springs received a state grant in 2016 to undertake a Master Plan for the North Nevada Avenue Economic Opportunity Zone. In summer 2016, the City hired N.E.S. to conduct the master plan process titled Renew North Nevada Avenue Master Plan. With a community-driven process that included participation from approximately 900 individuals, City Council approved the adoption of the Renew North Nevada Avenue Master Plan in March of 2017.
The Master Plan identified implementation recommendations to ensure that the City continued to take steps to implement the plan and help realize the vision in the Master Plan. The fifth recommendation from the Master Plan was to develop a Transportation Sub-Plan that furthers the transportation themes from the Master Plan and elaborates and details how to accomplish those themes. The City hired Kimley-Horn for the Transportation Sub-Plan. The City held a community workshop in the summer of 2017 and an open house in August of 2017.
The City has conducted public input and brought these items to Boards & Commissions, as described below.
