The Town of Gypsum is currently working on a safety initiative which aims to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The Safety Action Plan uses a combination of data and community input to identify and prioritize roadway safety improvements that address safety challenges for all roadway users in Gypsum. Individuals who live and work in Gypsum are invited to share their ideas and areas of concern!

During Phase 1, the Town gathered input from the community through surveys, mapped comments, website engagement, and in-person events. That feedback, combined with crash data and safety analysis, informed the development of 52 recommended strategies and a draft list of 24 priority projects.

The Draft Safety Action Plan is now available for public review and can accessed in the Document Section on this webpage.

Please take 3 to 5 minutes to review proposed recommendations and projects below via a survey and provide your thoughts.

Public Engagement Round 2

The Gypsum Safety Action Plan is designed to make our roadways safer by reducing and preventing fatal and serious-injury crashes. Gypsum has drafted 52 recommendations connected to 10 focus areas: Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety, Youth Involved Crashes, Broadside Crashes, Speeding, eBikes/OHVs, Overturning Crashes, Seasonal Crashes, Animal Crashes, Emergency Response, and Gypsum Administrative Processes.

As part of implementation of the Gypsum Safety Action Plan, we will be immediately moving forward with four priority areas for safety:

1. Implementing reduced speeds in school zones.
2. Improving safety around schools by infrastructure improvement projects.
3. Participation in a regional working group to consider establishing eBike regulations.
4. Using the Town’s new internal crash dashboard to better inform project design and responses to questions from the public.

Additionally, the Safety Action Plan has identified 24 locations for improvements

We’re looking for your feedback on the proposed projects.
