In 1980 the City of Westminster, Colorado staff recommended that an access control plan be developed and adopted for the Sheridan Boulevard corridor. Staff came to believe that, considering the expected corridor development, an access control plan was the best way to protect the city investment in the corridor so that traffic flow and safety requirements would be best served. In 1982 and after extensive planning studies, the city adopted an access control plan for 3.5 miles of Sheridan. The plan addressed the amount and location of access, turn restrictions, and potential future signalization. Since 1982, both the development community and city staff have had to conform to the plan. This paper addresses five aspects of the history of the plan and its implementation: (1) What are th apparent positives of the plan and would the corridor be different had there been no plan? (2) What aspects of the plan have been useful to the city and what has not been useful? (3) From the development community standpoint, what has been good and what has been difficult to deal with? (4) If the plan were done today, what would the access control planning team do differently? (5) Has this been a good model and could it be used in other locations?
