El Paso is one of the most rapidly growing of Colorado counties.  With this growth comes increasing traffic volume and the potential for commuters to use our neighborhood streets to bypass congestion.  Unlike Colorado Springs, the rest of El Paso County does not benefit from a program to use speed tables, chicanes, roundabouts and other calming measures to slow traffic speed and volume on neighborhood streets.  Please urge the El Paso County Commissioners to expand traffic calming countywide by signing the El Paso Safe Streets Alliance petition at: El Paso Safe Streets Alliance.

To improve security and our information services, we have upgraded our website.  Please let us know if you experience any problems.
