Boulder Junction

Boulder Junction (previously known as the Transit Village) is a 160-acre area, home to current and future developments guided by the Transit Village Area Plan.

Located in the geographic center of the community, Boulder Junction is across-the-way from the recently expanded Whole Foods Market and right around the corner from the Twenty Ninth Street retail district - a major shopping and entertainment destination.

This site will evolve into a lively, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented place where people will live, work, shop and access regional transit.  It will become a new neighborhood as well as an attractive destination for the larger city, with regional transit and public spaces that will benefit the entire Boulder community.

BACKGROUND

The Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) was adopted by City Council Sept. 18, 2007.

• Two General Improvement Districts (GIDs) were approved for the Phase 1 area of Boulder Junction and some properties have been rezoned.

Pearl Parkway

Project description:
Recent redevelopment initiatives in the Boulder Junction area (30th Street and Pearl Streets) have presented an opportunity to develop improvements along Pearl Parkway that are pedestrian friendly, multimodal, and integrate parking to create an enhanced "sense of place" that is more supportive of the future adjacent mixed-use development pattern.

The city is interested in a new pilot street design approach at Pearl Parkway that would contribute to creating a special place. Please attend the open-house meeting to learn more about the concept and public process and provide your input.

A public open-house meeting was held on Oct. 25, 2011 to discuss the proposed multi-way boulevard project and to get input on the concept and design alternatives.

Meeting materials:

• Project Background and Purpose
• Characteristics of a Multi-Way Boulevard
• Bike, Pedestrian and Transit Connections
• Four Initial Alternatives
• Evaluation of Four Initial Alternatives
• Three Refined Alternatives
• Process and Next Steps

Next Steps:

• December 2011  --  City Council Hearing and Approval of the TVAP Connections Plan Changes
