Summary
Staff reviewed 2025 items and flagged returning 2026 priorities — Connecting Aurora, missing sidewalks, neighborhood traffic calming, ADA updates and roadway maintenance — and announced an East Colfax BRT open house on Feb. 11 at Manos Sigrados.
An unnamed staff presenter reviewed the Transportation, Airports and Public Works Committee's 2025 work and outlined items the committee will revisit in 2026, telling members the purpose of the briefing was "to review all of the items that were, have gone through this committee in 2025" and to surface focus areas for the year.
The presenter listed recurring topics the committee will handle next: intergovernmental agreements (IGAs), Connecting Aurora (a planning and public‑works effort with consultant HDR), updates on the missing sidewalk program, neighborhood traffic calming, grant updates with partners such as ARDA and SREA, and an ADA Phase 1 transition plan update. The presenter said Connecting Aurora will be presented again in February and brought to the committee in March for potential adoption.
Council Member Amy Wiles asked staff to provide background information about a temporary traffic signal project at Hogan Parkway; staff agreed to follow up. Wiles also raised a question about a completed section of the Jewel development; Carly Camposano, deputy director of public works, said development services would have further details and that an easement issue had delayed opening.
Camposano also announced that construction of the East Colfax bus rapid transit project is moving east from Denver and is expected to reach Aurora in spring. She said the project team will hold an open house on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Manos Sigrados (next to the People's Building), and that additional information is posted to the council calendar and included in water‑bill mailings.
The committee discussed setting a regular monthly meeting time; members agreed to tentatively meet the fourth Tuesday from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., pending confirmation and outreach to an absent member.
The committee approved the November minutes by voice during the meeting. No formal recorded roll‑call tally or further committee votes were taken on program adoptions or funding commitments during this session.
