Welcome to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe Tribal Planning Site. Our mission is to ensure that Tribal lands are preserved, occupied or developed in a manner which at all times considers and adheres to the best interests of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan - Intro
In June 2006, the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Council reviewed and approved the Tribe's Long Range Transportation Plan update, which identified approximately a dozen transportation improvements needed along, or near, Colorado State Highway 172.
Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan - Update 1
The Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan is getting underway. The IACAP is a joint effort of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Town of Ignacio, and La Plata County.
Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan - Update 2
The Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan is moving toward solutions to the traffic and growth issues facing the community. The "blueprint" for major traffic corridors will help shape the area for years to come. The Plan will identify recommended improvements and a phased implementation approach and is anticipated to be complete by October 2011. Stay tuned for more information as the project progresses.
Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan - Update 3
The second set of stakeholder meetings was held January 12th and 13th, 2011. Project planners presented two possible alternatives: a Minimum Alternative and a Maximum Alternative. Stakeholders provided valuable input and desires that will help revise and refine the alternatives into a set of recommendations supported by the community.
Ignacio Area Corridor Access Plan - Key Issues
The following is a summary of key issues emerging at the October 2010 Stakeholder Meetings and in staff level discussions. This discussion focuses primarily on the issues, not the solutions, although only a fine line separates one from the other in some cases. Virtually all of the issues have interrelated components or causes. The IACAP will address these issues as appropriate as alternatives are developed to address the community's concerns.
