34.28.010 Redlands Area Transportation Plan 2002 (summary).

The transportation element of Redlands Area Plan was developed by Kimley-Horn, consultants to Mesa County’s Regional Transportation Planning Office, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation, the cities of Grand Junction and Fruita, Mesa County, and the citizens of the area. The transportation planning process has occurred over a yearlong time horizon – between May 2001 and adoption in June 2002. The process included three public forums, a design charrette, four technical Steering Committee meetings, and briefings with the elected officials of Grand Junction, Fruita, and Mesa County.

Numerous alternatives and options were proposed and reviewed as a result of the inventory and public participation process. The analysis produced four key elements that needed to be included as part of the plan. The four elements are: (1) State Highway 340 Access Control Plan, (2) capacity improvements on existing routes (3) new roadways and neighborhood connections, and (4) multi-modal accommodations.

The Redlands Area Transportation Study was adopted as an element of this Redlands Area Plan by the Grand Junction City Council on June 26, 2002, and by Mesa County Planning Commission on June 6, 2002. Please see the Redlands Transportation Study and any subsequent amendments for specific policies. In addition, the Grand Junction Circulation Plan and subsequent amendments as adopted by the Grand Junction City Council and the Mesa County Planning Commission is an element of this Plan. Please see the Grand Junction Circulation Plan for specific details.
