Colorado Springs Marks 10 Years of 2C With 2026 Push on Circle Drive and Neighborhood Streets
A voter-approved sales tax extension steers the next decade toward residential repaving with safety-focused concrete upgrades.
Overview
- City officials said crews have repaved about 2,000 lane-miles over the program's first decade, roughly one-third of city streets.
- For the next ten years, 95% of 2C work will target neighborhood side streets, with remaining projects on key arterials.
- The 2026 plan features fresh asphalt on two three-mile segments of Circle Drive between Fillmore and Platte Avenue and between Airport Road and I-25.
- South Circle received emergency paving in spring 2024, and the upcoming work aligns with the bridge project's expected completion by year-end.
- Public works has added a dozen employees to reduce a pothole repair backlog as some residents continue to press for faster local repaving.
