Aurora Reservoir Access Road Study

Let us know your thoughts on the alternatives

The city of Aurora is conducting a study to explore options for improved access to the Aurora Reservoir. The study is focused on developing a new, secondary access road that accommodates current and future traffic projections while also providing pedestrian and bicycle connections to the reservoir.

In this early stage of the project, the city is reviewing traffic information and developing and evaluating concepts for potential roadway alignments.

The final access road alignment that is selected will take into consideration existing topography, impacts to surrounding neighborhoods, and environmental resources to ensure sustainability while remaining cost-effective. The project's goal is to significantly improve the reservoir's infrastructure, support its facilities and operations, and ensure it can handle high traffic volumes during peak times, special events and holidays.

Thanks to everyone who attended our Nov. 13 open house at the Southeast Recreation Center to learn more about the study and provide feedback on the potential roadway access options under consideration. View the meeting display boards.

The survey is now closed. We appreciate everyone who provided input.
