Project Overview

Located along a nearly 25-mile stretch of Colorado State Highway 7 (CO 7) between Brighton and Boulder, the vision for this corridor is to improve traveler safety, personal travel efficiency and operations, and multimodal travel.

Multiple planning and feasibility studies have established the corridor’s future multimodal vision, including an integrated plan of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) improvements supported by multimodal (roadway, bicycle and pedestrian) infrastructure and transit-supportive land development at planned station areas. 

Through a $10 million Regional Share Funding grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments, priority projects are being identified and preliminary design plans developed to encourage quick investment in the transportation improvements amongst the municipalities, counties, agencies and developers along the corridor.

Corridor Vision  

Local agencies, RTD and CDOT are working together to plan a CO 7 Multimodal Corridor from Brighton to Boulder. The vision would create a safer sustainable and equitable corridor for the future. Improvements for the corridor include Bus Rapid Transit (BRT); a regional bikeway; bus, bike and pedestrian connections; and first-and final-mile connections (scooter, bike, ride share, shuttles, etc.).
