Greeley staff outline Mobility Development Plan proposing premium transit, microtransit pilots and mobility hubs
Summary
City staff presented a mobility plan that recommends near‑term pilots for microtransit and micromobility, premium transit corridors on Routes 1 and 5, a Center Place mobility hub and a phased 10‑year implementation tied to grants and the city budgeting process.
City staff on March presented the Mobility Development Plan, a follow‑up to the Greeley on the Go transportation master plan, that outlines near‑term pilots and a 10‑year strategy to expand transit and other options in Greeley.
Victoria Lenhart, public works planning division lead, and planner Hannah Feldman described a phased approach. Near‑term steps include piloting on‑demand microtransit in East Greeley, continuing a shared micromobility pilot near UNC and downtown, adjusting bus routes for improved frequency, upgrading dispatch and rider apps, starting construction of a mobility hub at Center Place and pursuing grants to fund detailed corridor planning on Tenth Street.
"This plan links transit, micro mobility, first and last mile access, technology, and user information into one integrated mobility strategy," Lenhart said. Hannah Feldman said the near‑term recommendations would expand the population served by about 11 percent; long‑term recommendations could raise that to about 25 percent compared with today’s service.
Staff described Route 1 (Tenth Street) and Route 5 as proposed premium corridors intended for higher frequency service — potentially 15‑minute service on premium routes and 30‑minute service on most community routes in the long term. The plan recommends mobility hubs that would provide a single access point for local and regional services, micromobility, and possible EV charging; the Center Place hub is planned to support regional US‑34 service and local transfers.
Council members asked about community engagement, translation needs and timing. Councilor Debutey pressed whether engagement with East Greeley residents had begun; staff said some outreach and partnerships (including work with the Immigrant and Refugee Center and bus operator interviews) had occurred during plan development and that more targeted neighborhood outreach will precede pilots and hub engineering. Councilor Butler raised shelter and bus‑stop condition issues; staff said the transit shelter contract procurement is expected in 2026 and additional shelters would be negotiated as part of that process.
Staff emphasized that grant funding and operational refinements are expected to cover early implementation steps, and that any future budget impacts will be addressed through the city’s capital improvement plan and the regular budgeting process.
The plan will come back to the council for a formal adoption vote in April after continued public review and commission recommendations.
