Background On Project Planning
The I-25/SH392 Interchange Improvement Plan represents a unique process with a focus on strategic implementation actions and identification of critical next steps in process to fund and reconstruct the interchange. This plan's key components include interchange configuration design, supporting land use in activity center, natural area buffers, west frontage road alternatives and funding scenarios. All of these components will require additional discussions, refinement and coordination prior to finalization, as part of on-going implementation efforts.

In March 2006, the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Windsor entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) which focused on cooperation, land use and development at the I-25/SH392 interchange. The purpose of the IGA includes the need to cooperate among Fort Collins, Windsor, Larimer County, and the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) on design and funding interchange improvements.

The 12-month planning process began in the Fall 2006. Fort Collins and Windsor joined together to develop this plan. These communities also partnered with NFRMPO, CDOT, Larimer County, and local property and business owners to determine key actions and funding strategies necessary to move forward towards plan implementation
The plan was formally accepted by the Windsor Town Board on November 26, 2007. In March of 2008, the Fort Collins City Council, while not prepared to accept the plan, agreed to adopt two resolutions to proceed with implementation including pursuing a Justification for Separate Action, and 1601 Study.
