PUEBLO — On Thursday, April 24, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be hosting a community open house for the public to learn more about the CO 45/Pueblo Boulevard Safety Improvements Project.
Community members are encouraged to ask questions about the project from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Pueblo Academy of Arts (29 Lehigh Ave).
According to CDOT, the goal of the project is to "increase safety, reduce the amount of severe crashes, and improve traffic flow" in the project areas.
The first segment will focus on Palmer Avenue to Avis Avenue.
The second segment will focus on Vinewood Lane to Goodnight Avenue.
CDOT says the following benefits will come from the project:
- Improve safety for left-turning vehicles by extending left-turn bays to meet current demand
- Minimize opposing turning movement conflicts
- Reduce severity and overall number of crashes
- Align corridor with Access Control Plan
- Improve access
Since this project is still in the planning phase, community members will have the opportunity to give input, ask any questions, and learn about the potential traffic changes.
