Update: Draft Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Released for Public Comment (2025)
The City of Boulder and Boulder County have released the draft 2026 Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update for public review and comment. The plan addresses land use, housing, transportation, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. Public comments will be accepted through May 15.
The project includes improvements along Flagstaff Road between Longmont and the intersection with Niwot Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with completion expected within 8 months.
Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County’s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 38% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.
