Metro Vision 2035 Plan What’s in the Plan for 2035? Metro Vision 2035 is the long-range plan to manage growth within the Denver area. It addresses development, transportation needs and environmental quality. Bringing communities together to enhance our g q y of life is the plan’s p region’s quality most important goal.
Growth in our region is inevitable. inevit To maximize the benefits and minimize the costs of growth, growth Metro Vision promotes development patterns that make efficient use of public infrastructure, are sensitive to environmental considerations, and accommodate the diverse needs and lifestyles of our region’s residents. The plan also recognizes the important connections between betwe development and transportation.
How can more than th han four four million m people get around? That’s a question Metro Vision address addresses by planning for a balanced transportation system that offers many travel options. The system aims to move people and goods efficiently, incorporating bus and rapid transit, highways, local streets and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Needs identified in the plan outweigh available funds. Therefore, to achieve Metro Vision’s goals, DRCOG must work with partner agencies on strategies for obtaining funding.
O ne off the th he Denver D regio One region’s most important assets is its environment. Mountain Mounta views, large expanses of land and pleasant weather have drawn people to the area for centuries. As the area becomes more populated, our region must take greater care to ensure these assets don’t disappear. Metro Vision seeks to preserve adequate open space, clean air and water for generations to come. The full Metro Vision 2035 plan is available for download at www.drcog.org.

• Limit the extent of urban development in 2035 to 921 square miles. • Encourage development in higher-density, mixed-use, transit- and pedestrian-oriented urban centers. • Create senior-friendly communities through development patterns and community design features that meet the needs of elderly residents. • Limit the amount of low-density, large-lot (semi-urban) development in 2035 to 3 percent of all households in the region, the same as it is today. • Maintain Boulder, Brighton, Castle Rock and Longmont as distinct and self-sufficient freestanding communities, separate from the larger urban area. • Recognize and support the role of rural town centers in providing services beyond the urban area.
