Share thoughts on two Saltzman Road alignment options

Comment on two possible alignments being considered for an improved Saltzman Road project through an online open house until May 8.

The two alignment alternatives for Saltzman Road, between Bayonne Lane and Laidlaw Road, are:

• Western Alignment: Build a bridge to align Saltzman Road with Laidlaw Road and 130th Avenue.

• Eastern Alignment: Widen the existing Saltzman Road.

Saltzman Road currently has narrow vehicle lanes with no bike lanes or sidewalks. Both alignment options address these safety concerns.

The Saltzman Road project has been funded for $6.5 million - $5.3 million through the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP 3e), plus an additional $1.2 million through the Bonny Slope West funding plan. The estimated cost for the Western Alignment is $19.5 million. Estimated cost for the Eastern Alignment is $8.4 million.

We are proposing changes to the Community Development Code and the Comprehensive Framework Plan to allow more middle housing. Middle housing includes duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses and cottage clusters.

Neighborhood meetings, required for many Washington County development applications, can be held online temporarily as per the new COVID-19 Virtual Neighborhood Meeting Supplement.
