UNFUNDED TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS OVERVIEW

THE LIST 40 unique unfunded projects are on the list All projects are important to the future of Arvada s transportation needs. The list has developed over many years based on the City s Transportation Master Plan.

Most locations on the list are known problem areas. Past citizen committee input has also contributed to the list

HOW TO PRIORITIZE? 1. Is outside funding available? Opportunity to leverage funding or expedite construction. Does the project meet the qualifications for grant funding? 2. Does the project solve a chronic problem? 3. Does the project positively affect the most residents of Arvada? 4. Will this complement another project that is already funded? 5. Does the request come from many citizens or possibly another entity? 6. Is this project part of a Master Plan? 7. Is this project part of a City Council Strategic Goal?
