South Boulder Road Area Plan

Project Description

The South Boulder Road planning area is a place where people shop, work, play, and gather. We’re now asking the community to shape the next chapter: safer connections, more welcoming streets, and places that feel vibrant day and night. With many buildings aging and uses changing, this plan will turn ideas into action - so South Boulder Road Area Plan becomes easy to reach, fun to spend time in, and a place where local businesses and neighborhoods thrive.

This planning process is beginning in March 2026 and anticipated to go through early 2027. The plan will create a future vision for the area, along with the practical tools that decision-makers, businesses, and others need to achieve it.

Community Visioning Workshop

The South Boulder Road Area Plan process is in the Visioning and Testing Phase. We held a community workshop on July 23, 2026 to share initial big ideas for land use, connections, parks and public spaces, and character based on input about issues, opportunities, and key values as well as initial market analysis and existing conditions analysis. Activities at the workshop were designed to facilitate conversations and for the team to understand community preferences for the future vision of the area.

Participants viewed an overview presentation by staff and the consultant team and then broke into four discussion groups around key topics and visited each station throughout the evening. Discussion Topics included: Guiding Principles & Big Ideas; Connectivity (Transportation and Mobility); Land Uses, Form, and Massing; and Public Space & Experience.

Please add your voice. You can learn about the Key Topics by reviewing the workshop materials and adding your input in the feedback form. We encourage you to also review the presentation slides, Event Summary, and Phase 1 engagement summary.
