11-09-26 Transportation Advisory Board Meeting

The City of Boulder Transportation Advisory Board met on November 9, 2026. The Board unanimously approved the October meeting minutes. Public commenters raised transportation safety and access concerns, including the need for a multi-use path along Broadway near Ideal Market and Alpine Balsam, cut-through traffic and pedestrian crossings in Majestic Heights, and stop-sign visibility for people biking along Baseline. Staff acknowledged the comments and discussed follow-up on signal issues and reported close calls at Table Mesa crossings.

Staff presented an informational update on the Vision Zero Action Plan Signal Practices project, which will review left-turn phasing, no-turn-on-red practices, leading pedestrian intervals, and accessible pedestrian signals. The presentation reported that left-turn-related crashes have decreased 67% since the current practices were introduced in 2018, while recent crash data and accessibility concerns support updating the guidance. Staff expects to return with an update early next year; no procurement, contract award, budget allocation, or spending-related vote was identified. The Board also discussed a citywide strategic planning workshop and a possible board training session, with availability to be gathered by email.
