Transportation Master Plan

Transportation continues to be one of the most important issues to Arapahoe County residents. It's also one of the most complex issues facing the County and the state. That’s why we’d like your help in reviewing and commenting on our new 2040 Transportation Master Plan.

In 2020, the County began the process of updating our Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The previous plan aimed to develop a unified multimodal transportation system that promoted efficiency, supported alternative transportation solutions, and ensured coordination with land use. The proposed 2040 plan builds on these goals and identifies future improvements, investments, and policies that will keep residents, employees, and visitors moving in, out, and throughout Arapahoe County for years to come. -Read Full Article-

Conversations with Commissioners focus on Open Space Sales and Use Tax

Arapahoe County’s Open Spaces are among our most treasured assets. From parks to trails to waterways, these amenities enhance the quality of life throughout the County. The Open Space Sales and Use Tax—which dedicates one-quarter of one cent from retail sales in the County to maintaining these spaces and programs—will soon be up for reauthorization by our voters. Each County commissioner will be joined by officials from Open Spaces and from our communities to discuss the many ways our residents and visitors benefit from a robust Open Spaces program.

At the time of the event listen in and ask questions by calling 855-436-3656 or watching online at www.arapahoegov.com/townhall. All events begin at 6:30 p.m.
