Hurricane Transportation Master Plan, Active Transportation Plan,
and Transportation Utility Fee Analysis Update
Hurricane is updating its Transportation Master Plan and Active Transportation Plan and studying transportation funding needs through a Transportation Utility Fee Analysis. These efforts will help the City understand current transportation conditions, plan for future growth, improve safety and connections, and identify long-term funding needs.
Project Overview
Hurricane is undertaking an update to its long-range transportation planning framework to help guide roadway, walking, bicycling, and related transportation investments as the community continues to grow. This effort builds on previous City planning work and helps identify priorities that improve safety, mobility, and connectivity across the community. This site provides key project information and details about ways to get involved in the process.
This project is intended to help the City:
Evaluate current transportation conditions
Identify needs and opportunities
Support safe and efficient travel for all users
Strengthen connections between neighborhoods,
schools, parks, downtown, and other destinationsInform future capital improvement and funding discussions
The project is expected to move
through four general phases:
Review existing conditions and
prior planning workGather community input through
public engagementDevelop and refine draft recommendations
Prepare final plan materials
and next-step guidance
Hurricane continues to grow and evolve, which makes it important to revisit how people move around the city today and how the transportation system should function in the future. Updating these plans can help the City respond to changing travel patterns, identify gaps in the roadway and active transportation network, and better align future transportation investments with community priorities. The City’s existing planning framework already includes roadway planning, active transportation network planning, and related general planning resources that help support this update.
The project is currently in the planning and input-gathering phase, during which the City is collecting feedback and reviewing existing transportation conditions, prior planning documents, and baseline data.
Why This Update Matters
Transportation affects daily life in Hurricane — from commuting to work, traveling to school, shopping locally, accessing parks and community destinations, and moving safely between neighborhoods. Updating the Transportation Master Plan and Active Transportation Plan helps the City consider how the system should serve residents and visitors over time, while also identifying opportunities to improve safety, connectivity, and quality of life. Hurricane’s existing Transportation Master Plan includes roadway and traffic system topics, while its Active Transportation Plan focuses on walking, biking, sidepaths, shared use paths, and other transportation-oriented facilities.
This update also matters because transportation decisions are long-term decisions. The plans can help the City prioritize future projects, coordinate with growth and development, and better understand where improvements may be needed most. In the active transportation context, Hurricane’s existing planning already emphasizes the importance of a safe and connected network for walking and bicycling, and this update provides an opportunity to revisit that network in light of current conditions and future needs.
