Connecting Aurora: Our Multimodal Transportation Master Plan
Let’s build the future of Aurora transportation together!
Your feedback is critical in guiding the development of Connecting Aurora, the city's first-ever citywide multimodal transportation master plan that will identify projects, policies and programs to be implemented over the next five to 20 years and beyond. We have already hosted several online and in-person opportunities for the community to engage and provide input throughout the planning process, and there will be more to come.
Through 2025, the city is examining how to better connect our residents, employees and visitors to various destinations in Aurora. The resulting plan will propose improvements throughout our city that offer safer and more sustainable and convenient transportation options for everyone who walks, rolls, bikes, takes transit or drives to work, shopping, school, and parks, etc.
The final opportunity to offer feedback for Connecting Aurora, the city’s first-ever multimodal transportation master plan, is coming up in April. Your input will help inform the final multimodal network for Aurora and what traffic, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit projects, programs, and policies we should prioritize in the coming years. Provide feedback online from April 1 to 22 or join us at one of our events (details in the Key Dates section):
- Virtual Town Hall: Wednesday, April 9, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Zoom
- Engage Aurora Live!: Saturday, April 19, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Aurora Municipal Center
- Roundtable Discussion: Tuesday, April 22, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Aurora Central Library
