Current Plans#
The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) establishes a vision for mobility in Fort Collins, achieved through a safe and reliable multimodal transportation network for all residents, visitors, and employees. To achieve this outcome, this plan outlines a bold vision to improve the accessibility, mobility, reliability, and safety of the transportation system for all modes.
Active Modes Plan#
FC Moves is beginning the process of updating our 2014 Bicycle Master Plan and 2011 Pedestrian Plan into a single unified plan we're calling our Active Modes Plan. We are starting with our Visioning Phase where we will engage the Fort Collins community to better understand what you think walking and bicycling should look like in Fort Collins in 10 years. Then, we'll begin to understand the existing conditions in the community to help us build the Active Modes Plan.
Visit our Active Modes Plan page for more information, and check back often as new information will be added all the time.
The Pedestrian Plan addresses citywide pedestrian needs like gaps in the sidewalk, safer ways to cross the street, and better ramps at street corners. The Pedestrian Plan outlines issues and proposes solutions to problems for pedestrians with the ultimate goal being safe, easy, and convenient pedestrian travel for all members of the community.
The Bicycle Master Plan envisions Fort Collins as a world-class city for bicycling. The Bicycle Master Plan sets a vision for the year 2020, when one in five people will ride a bike, and bicycle-related crashes will be fewer than today.
The principles and policies in the Transit Master Plan provide a high-level framework guiding Transfort’s growth over the next 20 years.
City Plan is Fort Collins’ comprehensive plan that guides how the community will grow and travel in the next 10-20 years. City Plan describes our community’s vision and core values, as well as providing policy guidance and implementation actions to achieve both.
Current Projects#
Paving and multimodal improvements are coming to a street near you. To find out more about our current projects, visit our current projects page.
City Park Ave. / Bennett Rd
The City of Fort Collins will be repaving and restriping City Park Ave., from W. Elizabeth St. to Bennett Rd., and Bennett Rd. east to S. Shields St. in Spring and Summer 2021. As part of the repaving, we will be restriping the street to add bike lanes, since City Park Ave is a critical multimodal corridor identified in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan.
Laporte Ave. - N. Howes St. to N. College
The City of Fort Collins will be restriping Laporte Ave. from N. Howes St. to N. College in August 2021 to add bike lanes, as identified in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan.
W. Magnolia St. and S. Shields St.
The 2014 Bicycle Master Plan identifies the intersection of W. Magnolia St. and S. Shields St. for multimodal improvements as part of the Magnolia Bikeway and alternative to W. Mulberry St. protected bike lanes. Magnolia St. connects directly to City Park and downtown on low-volume local streets. The unsignalized intersection of Magnolia and Shields is a barrier to active transportation.
Mountain Avenue Reshaping
The purpose of the Mountain Avenue Reshaping Concept Study is to identify future improvements for Mountain
Avenue between Howes Street and the Lincoln Avenue Bridge. The Concept Study will develop a vision for Mountain Avenue that celebrates the importance and history of the corridor that is beautiful and user friendly.
