Chandler Vanscoch, case manager with the Planning and Development Services Department, said the submission proposes four four‑story mixed‑use buildings, one five‑story student housing building and 412 new residences, including 27 student units, and would expand commercial space from roughly 54,000 to almost 60,000 square feet.

The developer team, led by Catherine Vanderspeck of Coburn Architecture, described a design that reduces nine existing vehicle access points to four, creates a pedestrian‑focused L‑shaped main street and hides most parking within structures. Vanderspeck said the project would provide both short‑ and long‑term bicycle parking, electric‑vehicle chargers in garages, car‑share spaces and a multi‑use path connection to nearby bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

TAB members focused their feedback on the applicant’s requested parking reduction and the strength and enforceability of the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) commitments. The applicant is requesting a 40% parking reduction overall — described in the materials and presentation as approximately a 20% reduction for the market‑rate residential portion and an 80% reduction for the student housing element, yielding an overall reduction near 40%. Chandler Vanscoch said the project provided a TDM plan but had not yet resubmitted revisions after staff’s first round of comments.

Members noted that the proposed reductions and TDM measures should reflect local conditions in Boulder rather than generic approaches. TAB member Darcy (last name not specified in the transcript) urged the team to “really beef up” the TDM package with locally relevant measures, such as on‑site e‑bikes, covered short‑term bike parking, stronger connections to the city’s growing protected bicycle network and concrete incentives to shift trips away from single‑occupant cars. Vanderspeck said the development partner for the student housing operates in other U.S. markets and expects lower car ownership among students; the team said proposed TDM measures include subsidized transit eco‑passes for residents, additional bike storage including ebike charging, scooter parking and car‑share parking.

TAB members also recommended operational and design changes to support retail and grocery uses on the site. Members expressed interest in flexible shared parking (day/night overlap for grocery and residential uses), prioritizing compact vehicles or smaller vehicles, ensuring short‑term car parking supports retail visits rather than long‑term storage and providing covered short‑term bike parking so people will ride in inclement weather. Several board members said they were cautiously optimistic about the plan’s pedestrian‑focused design but raised questions about commercial market viability and whether the proposed parking and access approach will support the retail mixes described by the applicant.

Staff and applicants clarified timing and process: the project previously completed a concept review and was referred to TAB, the Design Advisory Board and the Environmental Advisory Board after a March 7, 2024, City Council concept review. Chandler Vanscoch said the application is currently at site review and that the applicant has not yet resubmitted materials after the staff comment round; a staff memo and TAB feedback will be forwarded to Planning Board when the project is scheduled. Chris Hagelin, principal project manager for Transportation & Mobility, told TAB members the city intends to present a TDM ordinance to council in June 2025 as part of the Access Management and Parking Strategies (AMPS) work, but he and other staff advised that historically projects already in site review are reviewed under the regulations in effect at application and that council could alter that approach.

No formal vote was taken at TAB on this item; the presentation was a request for feedback only. Staff asked TAB to weigh in on access, connectivity to the multimodal system and the project’s alignment with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan and the Transportation Master Plan. The applicant team said it will incorporate board feedback into future submittals and continue coordination with staff.

Looking ahead, staff and applicants said they would provide additional parking utilization data and updated counts when available and consider TAB’s suggested refinements — stronger, locally tailored TDM, covered short‑term bike parking, compact/small‑vehicle priority spaces and flexible shared parking strategies — before future Planning Board consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3-10-25 Transportation Advisory Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff and an applicant team presented a site‑review design for 2952 Baseline — commonly referred to in the hearing as “Willville 2” — that would replace an existing shopping plaza near Williams Village with 412 residences, expanded commercial space and a request for a roughly 40% parking reduction.","taxTitle","Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado","taxId",3386,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636437,"County and city staff outline operations, maintenance and card rules for Downtown Boulder bike‑and‑ride shelter",1168,5824000,6992000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada&start=5824&end=6992","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada/thumbnail_5824000.jpg","/articles/6636437/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/County-and-city-staff-outline-operations-maintenance-and-card-rules-for-Downtown-Boulder-bikeandride-shelter","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636437-325d7a18e0bb9e9ca098b475e8918956/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771059&Signature=nQ6s5MM8-EdOGGeCeLW~KmG-uFRXUcyiKCNAR67Bme2fZPjoIPWo8YGglVruoIQj8EfIgu0155J4MIgglNrX9-wxLhnfjtaqAcvMVMkYR8dRuwx8OGC8TDIazH3g4O0ReMISh3YLLnzAsQNE2XL7DS6HrAAC1fTWqi1~FmaCMpRGb1Q-jkKagl1tHg5xtDNRKtK5dtjPP5DPYG7LHz9kjaESSXKWrdaONJajm7s9bmDfHjpTiwCUU9Gty7Vex4ghRBRCTCb5bfZtmib-IBU5aVuWitOr4EFkUDhlA-IEtUgCY7YtZO~xEiZzhtlgnLPWRfAcssmyvqBftfqde89O7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boulder County and City of Boulder staff briefed the Transportation Advisory Board on operations and maintenance of the bike‑and‑ride shelters at the Downtown Boulder Station during the March 2025 TAB meeting. Alexandra Phillips, bicycle planner with Boulder County, described how the county manages card issuance and the remote card‑access system while the city performs physical maintenance such as cleaning and trash removal.

Alexandra Phillips said the first bike‑and‑ride shelters were installed in 2011 and the Downtown Boulder Station shelter opened in 2015. The county manages card access (applicants fill an online form, upload photo ID, select up to three shelters and receive a mailed access card in about 5–7 days). Phillips said equipment modems had been upgraded to 5G compatibility in prior years and that multiple organizations operate shelters in the region (Boulder County, Broomfield and Commuting Solutions operate different shelters).

City staff acknowledged recent lapses in on‑site maintenance caused by staff turnover and winter weather limitations (for tasks such as power washing), and told TAB members the issues had been addressed and maintenance returned to the work program. Staff also said they had updated broken website links and removed outdated posters following public reports. The county noted that cards issued long ago but unused for two years were deactivated two years ago, and staff said they can reactivate or reissue cards on request. County staff also explained a policy limiting cards to three shelters by default, which was introduced after incidents in which an authorized card was used to move between shelters and facilitate theft; the default can be changed on request.

During public comment and TAB discussion, members and a community commenter raised specific concerns about shelter cleanliness, broken or outdated website links, unauthorized access and a small number of bicycle thefts linked to misuse or forced entry. TAB member Darcy said a volunteer had documented shelter conditions and that some problems persisted; staff replied they have been in regular contact with volunteer groups, removed outdated materials and are working on additional fixes. TAB members asked staff to improve public links and ensure the city’s transportation webpages point to the current shelter information and dashboards; staff said they would reconcile links and continue coordination with the police department and RTD security to monitor suspicious activity.

Staff asked the public to use U‑locks and follow the shelter terms and conditions and encouraged people to contact county staff if they need a card installed for a different set of shelters. No formal action was taken; the briefing was informational and staff said they would continue to coordinate with community volunteers and involved agencies to improve maintenance, security and public information.","Boulder County and City of Boulder staff told TAB that the county manages card issuance and remote access for bike‑and‑ride shelters, while the city is responsible for on‑site maintenance; staff said they updated website links and plan continued coordination after community reports of cleanliness and security problems.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636441,"City staff brief TAB on 2025 Transportation Report on Progress; several targets stable but off track",1237,3565000,4802000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada&start=3565&end=4802","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada/thumbnail_3565000.jpg","/articles/6636441/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/City-staff-brief-TAB-on-2025-Transportation-Report-on-Progress-several-targets-stable-but-off-track","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636441-cf2eae03caa7aa1ce0736ff762d4377e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771059&Signature=BIegLjm4N29RiN08orPukl8X9RMYdtytuaxOJYVAwGXKv51IarR~VliIe-bgCz8nOUv6AOx8gKQzXxJENRLQEZY0du4ARxLXKpR91k-onobqmNwIG-95~Od5GP6DhQcw5RSbssh2Bs1ehA0YjwsvCMOKCvaYUj~Bty-9AZgSauZzPm7uhgNO~H0W~K9LZ0cWET1ybJ1sOiTgdOjoa29hHjecwztis6bh3sihABfi9mPMwpUcz~JR6ZzfC5w5ARAhJThrg0Ebetx8ObfDGq0JuensS8BOHvoThiQTrqupFYsCQPvUiIWLEGEf5LQ047Z7lK7J54XwkCgQnNY2JUWFVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City of Boulder transportation staff presented the department’s 2025 Transportation Report on Progress to the Transportation Advisory Board during the board’s March meeting, offering updates on eight measurable objectives drawn from the 2019 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Steven Marijo, transportation planning manager, and Allison (last name not provided in the transcript), senior transportation planner, led the presentation with principal project manager Chris Hagelin covering several technical points.

Staff described the eight measurable objectives tracked in the report: reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita; reduce single‑occupant vehicle (SOV) mode share and increase walking, biking and transit; reduce transportation‑sector greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and support EV adoption; eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes (Vision Zero); increase access to comfortable walkways, bikeways and transit; increase transit service hours and bike system miles commensurate with employment growth; maintain baseline vehicle travel times on core arterials; and increase the share of residents who live in 15‑minute walkable neighborhoods. The report uses updated methodologies for some measures, notably aggregated anonymized cell‑phone and connected‑vehicle data for VMT and travel‑time metrics and a density‑sensitive GIS approach for walkable‑neighborhood and low‑stress bikeway measures.

Chris Hagelin said the city switched its VMT calculation methodology in 2020 from a regional travel model to aggregated cell‑phone/connected vehicle data; that change produced higher absolute VMT numbers but allowed back‑casting to 2018. Staff reported VMT per capita has declined substantially since 1990 (from about 15 miles per person per day to below 12), with post‑COVID VMT not yet returned to pre‑pandemic levels. On mode share, staff said resident SOV mode share has steadily declined since 1990 and currently stands near 35% for all trips, but the target of 20% remains out of reach. Nonresident employee commute SOV shares have been largely unchanged and are affected by regional commuting patterns and housing affordability.

On climate and GHG, staff reported that while VMT has rebounded from the COVID dip, overall transportation GHG emissions continue to decline — a trend staff attributed to increased vehicle electrification and continued hybrid work patterns that reduced nonresident employee commuting. Staff said EV adoption in Boulder is higher than early expectations and that the city is pursuing public charging, low‑income charging access, pairing EV charging with solar and electrifying fleets where feasible.

On safety, staff reiterated Vision Zero goals and noted that fatal and serious‑injury crashes have held steady but not reached zero; staff are entering year three of a five‑year Vision Zero action plan and cited recent Safe Streets for All grant funding for several projects. TAB members raised requests for clearer public dashboards and easier public access to up‑to‑date serious‑injury and fatal‑crash data; staff acknowledged a data‑compatibility issue between the police dashboard and the longer‑running transportation dashboard and said they are actively working to reconcile and maintain a longitudinal view.

Staff also described updated methods for measuring access to walkways, bikeways and transit (now accounting for housing density) and reiterated that while bike miles and some infrastructure have expanded, staff prefer to measure connected low‑stress networks rather than only raw miles. Staff said RTD transit service hours have fallen from 2019 highs and that the city continues to coordinate with RTD and local partners to restore and innovate transit service. Several TAB members suggested incorporating subjective measures of “comfort” and user experience into future progress tracking (for example, winter sidewalk clearing or perceived walkability), which staff said they will consider for future strategic updates.

No formal action was taken; the item was a staff briefing and TAB discussion. Staff said the final report would be published with project highlights, and they invited follow‑up questions and suggestions from TAB members.","City transportation staff briefed TAB on the department’s 2025 Transportation Report on Progress, updating eight measurable objectives from the 2019 Transportation Master Plan and noting declining per‑capita VMT, rising EV adoption and mixed progress against mode‑shift and safety targets.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636431,"TAB approves January and February minutes, adjourns March meeting",0,714000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada&start=714&end=714","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609893-8daf5d053f216068cad9d6b354cebada/thumbnail_714000.jpg","/articles/6636431/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/TAB-approves-January-and-February-minutes-adjourns-March-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636431-45357d4210b069d6b86bb1fd9a244565/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771059&Signature=iF4TB-qk30CWcLMBmC7KBjFzzv5Qqgp5ymZM~XUJQGI59L3Kh0uYjduZKrdcrxfxSAUdGQFGAppkPRRRILEp89jXli4rTQlptmgSaq28GGxmuaZjnvrLI4KNTRb0gonrWyLFvjy~RjcnRPkpZmYwtYVQp~hCmTc-pqM1UPv0DFca23Hw8RnY9H15MFydcYAIcpsk3uPczc2kGhKrIYockq03ZhEOMLT53JCGE2gb00MWnb8wwFnkbagj55ZxlUUfU~XfcUfwptya9sSlJKKkODk~WU67KFeufZLDftCo6i8vF804p0zfr3j~ztd69vgMqt15vYmFr9S-00HJguvf8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Transportation Advisory Board made three procedural actions during its March 2025 meeting: approval of the January 2025 minutes, approval of the February 2025 minutes and adjournment of the March meeting.
