Via Mobility Services partners with Weld County and local communities to offer transportation across multiple municipalities.

Additionally, eligible riders can receive free shared-ride transportation daily for medical appointments, grocery shopping, visiting family and friends, or other essential trips. The vehicles are available for riders with mobility challenges. They help residents go out to places so they can stay connected to their communities. Since the program began in Weld County, over 7,062 rides have been provided to 223 registered users, according to officials. Additionally, Weld County contributes $46,000 annually to its program, with extra funding from participating municipalities, the state's Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Options Fund, and federal Section 5311 rural transit funding, according to officials.

WELD COUNTY, Colo. - A long-planned road running east of Interstate 25 in Weld County will take its next step this year. Weld County Department of Public Works and Kraemer North America will soon begin construction on a new portion of High Plains Boulevard, including a new roundabout. Construction on the roundabout at the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 32 and WCR 9.5 (High Plains Boulevard) will begin April 6. During construction, WCR 32 between the east I-25 frontage road and WCR 13, and WCR 9.5 north of Mulligan Street will be closed through July 6, the county said. The project comes as Weld County continues building High Plains Boulevard, an effort to extend WCR 9.5 east of Mead from WCR 32 to WCR 34. The county said the Town of Mead has already completed building the road from just north of WCR 34 to WCR 36. "We're happy this project continues to move forward and happy to see work on this roundabout begin," said Scott James, Weld County Commissioner Chair. "It will help High Plains Boulevard be a safe and efficient transportation route now and in the future." "When we plan a project, and as it progresses, we always look for ways to be as efficient as possible. That is key to completing our projects quickly for the traveling public," said Curtis Hall, Director of Weld County Public Works. "By shifting our focus to the roundabout at WCR 32, we can keep this important project moving forward." Weld County Public Works officials said that when complete, the concrete driving surface should enable the road to last 30 years before major repairs may be needed.

Demolition of Greeley City Hall to make way for building of campus project. Plans are continuing to advance for the construction of what is being called the Downtown Civic Campus in the city of Greeley. The project will see the building of a series of structures that will serve as both government and business offices. A unique collaborative effort between Greeley, Weld County, and the Greeley-Evans School District 6, the project is designed to create what has been described as a downtown "thriving civic hub." According to a City of Greeley website, the campus will renew the city's downtown core, while also enhancing "walkability, vibrancy, and accessibility through thoughtful design, programming, and community-focused spaces." To make way for the project, Greeley's longtime City Hall, located at 1000 10th Street, will be demolished. That structure is a circular white building with large floor to ceiling windows that originally served as the home to the United Bank of Greeley. Built in 1968, it was acquired by the city roughly two decades later. A move to preserve the structure as a historical site by the Greeley Historic Preservation Commission was rejected late last year by members of the Greeley City Council, paving the way for its demolition.
