The process of identifying traffic concerns and developing the framework for CDOT and Glenwood Springs to plan for traffic improvements was completed through three consecutive studies to analyze the traffic through SH 82 Corridor. These studies include the 2005 SH 82 Corridor Conditions Assessment (CCA), the 2007 SH 82 Corridor Optimization Study (COS), and the 2010 SH 82 Corridor Optimization Study. Through developing these three studies comprehensive knowledge of the various factors influencing transportation for all modes of travel through Glenwood Springs was gained.
