Thoughts about transportation in Aurora?

Senior Communications Strategist Julie Patterson from City of Aurora · 6 days ago

We need to hear from you!

This month, the city of Aurora is gathering information from anyone who drives, walks, bikes, takes transit or rolls through Aurora to find out what challenges you face related to transportation and what you care about related to mobility in this city. The feedback will help establish the framework for Connecting Aurora, the city’s first-ever citywide multimodal transportation master plan that will establish future projects to better connect people to places in Aurora.

There are several ways to provide feedback this month:
1. Attend an open house (show up anytime from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, 9898 E. Colfax Ave., or Tuesday, April 23, at Tallyn’s Reach Library, 23911 E. Arapahoe Road) (free food truck meal, first come, first served) (Spanish interpretation provided)
2. Explore the online open house and give input (https://zurl.co/7W2T)
3. Take our community survey (https://zurl.co/bNtT)
4. Add a pin to the map (https://zurl.co/YQX0)
5. Share one word (https://zurl.co/E4Fw)
6. Ask a question (https://zurl.co/vAbP)

The project team is committed to reaching out to diverse voices in this effort and gathering meaningful feedback to make sure the plan reflects the community’s priorities. If you have a question, please call 720.984.2109 or email ConnectingAuroraCO@gmail.com.
