Community Encouraged to complete an online survey
PUEBLO-The City of Pueblo is planning major transportation upgrades to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity on the west side, and public input is needed.
Two projects are currently in the planning and design phase: the Sun Mountain Roadway Project and the West Side Bus Stop Rehabilitation Project. Together, these initiatives will make it safer and easier to get around Pueblo's west side whether by foot, bike, car or bus.
The Sun Mountain Roadway Project will create a new connection between 24th Street and 31st Street, including two roundabouts designed to improve traffic flow and reduce crashes.
The West Side Bus Stop Rehabilitation Project will create or upgrade approximately 67 bus stops to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards, enhancing access and safety for all riders-especially seniors, individuals with disabilities, and others who rely on public transit.
"These upgrades will boost west side connectivity in the City and support safe, reliable travel options for everyone," said a City of Pueblo Acting Director of Public Works Chuck Roy.
Both projects are fully funded by a $16.8 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Construction is expected to begin in 2026 and be completed by the end of 2027. A public hearing date will be announced with more details soon. Use the project contact information listed below to stay informed.
