Community Engagement
Reimagine Boulder Highway was envisioned more than 20 years ago by the City of Henderson. Public input has played a major role in shaping the project you see today. Over many years, the city has collected thousands of input surveys and conducted countless meetings with the public and stakeholders to create a project that best serves the community.
2002
Boulder Highway identified as a future Rapid Transit Corridor
2017-2019
A survey asking community members to describe challenges along the corridor was offered at a dozen community events and at multiple transit centers. The goal was to identify community concerns and help create a desired vision for the corridor. A website was developed that showed design concepts and offered background information about the project.
Dec 2018-
Jan 2019
The community was asked for feedback on a draft concept via an email campaign to community members who signed up for notifications. Local television stations also publicized the efforts to collect input from the community.
2019
The final concept was shared with the public during two community events/public meetings, and an interactive website was developed with a concept element, cost, phasing, and a feedback form.
2019-2023
The project team worked on funding and applying those concepts to a project that it can move into construction.

A public meeting was held at the Valley View Recreation Center, and a month-long virtual meeting and comment period was available to the public on the project website. This was an opportunity to show the design, which was based on previous public input, and provide an update on the construction schedule.

The project team will be sharing details on the upcoming construction and encouraging residents, businesses, and the traveling public to sign up for construction updates.
