F 1/2 Parkway Project

History

In 2005 the F 1/2 Area Corridor Study was completed and included a public involvement process. The findings from the Study provided the foundation for further transportation planning efforts and were incorporated into the adopted 2018 Grand Junction Circulation Plan.   

In 2019, voters approved ballot measure 2A, which provides funding for the F ½ Road Parkway, as well as multiple transportation expansion projects within the City. This 5-lane, multimodal arterial will provide an alternative route around congested Patterson Road and serve a rapidly developing area.
