Zoning Updates

Lakewood is updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan and we want to hear from you! The Comprehensive Plan is an important document that outlines a holistic, shared vision for Lakewood over the next 10-15 years. The Plan will be used by staff, City Council, Planning Commission and other boards and commissions to inform decisions about housing, transportation, climate action, parks and more in Lakewood. Throughout 2024, we will be discussing what our vision and values are for Lakewood and what challenges we need to address moving forward so that we and future generations can continue to enjoy our community and thrive. How to Participate Now: In January we kicked off the public process to start developing the Plan. Over the next few months we want to hear from you about what your vision and values are for Lakewood's future!

Envision Lakewood 2040

Are you concerned about hailstorms, floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather? The City of Lakewood is creating a Climate Hazard &amp; Social Vulnerability Study to be better prepared for the future.This study seeks to build from the <a href="https://www.jeffco.us/488/Hazard-Mitigation-Plan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan</a> with a Lakewood-specific climate hazard and vulnerability assessment and analysis, accounting for the anticipated impacts of climate change. It will evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on natural hazards that pose the greatest risks to Lakewood&rsquo;s residents, infrastructure, and economy, with particular focus on socially vulnerable communities. The project is funded by the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.How to participate:<ol><li>Click the &quot;Subscribe&quot; button to the right to follow this project and stay informed.</li><li>Read more about this project in the &quot;<a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/climate-vulnerability?tool=news_feed#tool_tab">Learn More&quot; tab below</a>.</li><li>Tell us your climate impact concerns and ideas in the <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/climate-vulnerability?preview=true&tool=brainstormer#tool_tab">&quot;Share Your Ideas&quot; tab below</a>.</li></ol>

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">The Bicycle Plan aims to provide a framework for a high-quality, safe, convenient, continuous and accessible bicycle transportation system for people of all ages and abilities while promoting bicycling as a mode of transportation that reduces carbon emissions and improves the health of community members. The plan is used by city planners and transportation staff to guide the placement and design of bike facilities during ongoing processes including development, annual street resurfacing and other capital projects, as well as to inform decisions related to pursuing grant funding for bicycle projects. </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">Why is the Bicycle Plan being updated? </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">Lakewood&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/24125/widgets/80705/documents/53791">current Bicycle Plan</a> was adopted in 2018. In the six years since the plan was adopted, the active transportation landscape has changed significantly as bicycling infrastructure expands throughout the region, and national guidance is increasingly available for newer designs such as separated bike lanes. The project team will explore integrating this updated national guidance into the new plan as well as developing a process for adding buffered and separated bike lanes to the city&rsquo;s proposed network.</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">Other goals of the update include revisiting 2018 recommendations with the public; analyzing the connectivity of Lakewood&rsquo;s bicycle network to key destinations and neighboring municipalities; refining the quality and consistency of facilities shown on city bike route maps; conducting spatial and crash analysis to inform the prioritization of future projects; and providing Lakewood residents with an opportunity to evaluate staff recommendations to ensure that they are in line with the wants and needs of the community. </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">How can you get involved? </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW250918778 BCX0">Community involvement is a key part of the Bicycle Plan, so we want to hear from you!
