TOWN OF TELLURIDE SOUTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD MASTER PLAN TRAFFIC STUDY

In 2019 the Town of Telluride Town Council initiated a Conceptual Planning process to determine how to best utilize the Town-owned land in a portion of town known as the Southwest Area. Multiple public meetings and workshops were held in 2019. Based on this input, Telluride Town staff and the master planning team developed several mixed-use conceptual plans for the area. The mixed-use consists of primarily residential uses but also includes commercial/retail, and office within the same lots or buildings. PST Engineering prepared a traffic study to analyze the potential impacts of the increased traffic created by this future development, to provide possible solutions to help mitigate these impacts, and to document pedestrian and bicycle usage within the study area. The analysis covered a total of six intersections, including the roundabout at the entrance to the Town. Various scenarios were studied, including modifying various streets to be one-way vs two-way, inclusion of a two-way left turn lane, and inclusion of a mini roundabout.
