The city of Boulder has implemented changes to the lanes on Colorado Avenue that may affect your daily commute. These improvements are part of a broader effort to create a safer and more efficient transportation system for our entire community, and they are expected to strengthen the connection between Main Campus and East Campus.
What’s happening?
In June, the city converted the outside vehicle lanes on Colorado Avenue to bus and right-turn lanes between Folsom Street and 30th Street. This change, which includes the use of signage and red street markings to designate the bus lanes, aligns with the recommendations of the 2019.

Future plans and ongoing efforts
Boulder remains committed to collaborating on further improvements in the future, including potential changes between 30th Street and Discovery Drive. The city’s, expected to be completed in early 2025, will enhance the area between Colorado Avenue and Arapahoe Avenue with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks and new landscaping. In summer 2025, Boulder’s will repave Colorado Avenue between Folsom Street and 30th Street.
