Larimer County commissioners approved the Larimer On the Move transportation master plan on Sept. 8 as part of the consent agenda, with commissioners using the consent discussion to thank staff and consultants and underscore priorities for the next 25 years.

Commissioner Cavallos asked to speak briefly on the plan before consent adoption. He said he was "very genuinely appreciate and grateful to the staff, to our county engineering folks and others, county leadership, consultants, and everyone else that have worked tirelessly, thoughtfully, and intentionally to develop our updated transportation master plan." He described the plan as "a comprehensive transportation infrastructure framework and vision for the next 25 years" and emphasized language and actions that promote equitable transportation options across the county.

Another commissioner thanked consultants, engineering staff and municipalities for extensive input, and praised the plan as "actionable" and data-oriented, with an emphasis on safety. Chair Kristen Stevens said the county is committed to a transportation system that works for residents who lack single-occupancy vehicle access and urged public engagement on the plan.

Because the item was on consent and no member of the public requested it be removed, the commissioners adopted the consent agenda by motion and a 3-0 vote. The consent package noted two items: a previously tabled Crystal Lakes partial right-of-way vacation (file no. 25LAND4499) and the Larimer On the Move transportation plan, including a safety action plan. Staff did not present a full hearing on the plan because it was on the consent agenda.

Commissioners asked the public to review the plan materials available at larimer.gov and to use the plan as a data-backed guide for future transportation projects. No formal direction to staff beyond standard consent authorization was recorded at the meeting.
