Converse Avenue Improvement Plan

Summary of Project

As our community grows, transportation needs change, and our transportation system must adapt to these changes. With continuing development north of Dell Range Boulevard, it is projected that traffic levels will significantly increase on Converse Avenue.  In addition, the segment south of Ogden Road is deteriorating and in need of replacement.

This study looks at improving Converse Avenue between Dell Range Boulevard and a new intersection with the planned extension of Carlson Street. The primary goal of the project is to provide a conceptual design for the reconstruction of Converse Avenue that meets the future mobility needs of the residents and businesses along the Converse Avenue corridor and the greater Cheyenne community. Specifically, the project will look at options for intersection and drainage improvements, minimize traffic conflicts, enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety, and accommodate extension of the Greenway Corridor as well as evaluate pedestrian crosswalks. Key elements of the project include determining the most appropriate 3-lane or 4-lane roadway cross-section, intersection improvements, and need for future traffic signals.

Outreach and Engagement

Focus Group Meetings – February 2021

In February, several corridor stakeholder focus group meetings were conducted to share project information and receive initial input on existing concerns and improvement needs. (We’ll share the details soon.) 

Community Meetings

Throughout the year, we will be holding virtual and in-person community Public Information Meetings to present the project and solicit input from residents and area businesses.  We strongly encourage your participation at both meetings. See Upcoming Events for additional information.
