Get your comments in now – the public comment ends February 12th! El Paso County is updating its Major Transportation Corridors Plan, which reflects the County’s need for future improvements to transportation infrastructure. It recommends a list of prioritized projects that the County can pursue as funding is available. The plan has a long-term outlook and is updated approximately every five years. Input from earlier phases of community engagement showed that safety, bike/pedestrian facilities and connections, and roadway improvements are valued by stakeholders and the public. The draft MTCP recommends improvements to major roads in the county including, road upgrades, road widenings, new roadway connections, and bike and pedestrian projects. The draft MTCP is ready for your review. You may submit comments in three ways: Enter on the Get Involved page: https://www.2045mtcp.com/get-involved where you can read draft chapters, place suggestions on an interactive map, and answer a survey question.
