In early 2024, DEN published the Peña Master Plan and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. The TDM Plan establishes target modal shifts for DEN to reduce drive alone trips for both employees and passengers, while encouraging sustainable transportation. The TDM is now Go to DEN – making it easier and more affordable to access the airport without driving alone. The Peña Master Plan identified potential improvements to Peña Boulevard, these in addition to new alternatives identified through public and stakeholder involvement are being analyzed and refined through the next phase of the project, Peña NEPA & Design.
Transportation Demand Management Plan
Peña Boulevard is an 11.1-mile-long roadway that provides the only roadway access to DEN while also offering connectivity to numerous off-airport developments and communities including Montbello, Green Valley Ranch and Gateway. The Gateway area contains some of the only undeveloped land in Denver’s far northeast region and is anticipated to experience a significant increase in development in the years ahead.
Public engagement took place in winter 2023, summer 2023 and winter 2024. In-person outreach was conducted in Montebello and Green Valley Ranch to ensure that communities adjacent to airport property have the opportunity to participate in the study. In addition to in-person outreach, DEN hosted virtual open houses to ensure those who could not attend the in-person events or those located outside of the adjacent communities had an opportunity to engage with the Peña Master Plan.
Winter 2023 outreach provided the first opportunity to initiate communication with the public. DEN presented the purpose & need and goals & objectives, presented work accomplished and a summary of existing conditions. DEN engaged with the public to understand the transportation/mobility challenges & opportunities within the Peña Master Plan area and solicit community input on potential alternatives.
Summer 2023 outreach included a review of the potential alternatives and provided community members and the public the opportunity to share their thoughts to help guide transportation improvements along the Peña Boulevard corridor.
Winter 2024 outreach marked the third and final round of outreach for the Peña Master Plan and provided the community an opportunity to learn about the Peña Master Plan and TDM Plan and provide DEN with feedback.
