WYDOT to present revised Coffeen Avenue Project plans at May 27 public meeting

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) has announced they will host a public meeting to present modified plans for the Coffeen Avenue and Brundage Lane corridor project. The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, at the Ramada Plaza in the Sibley Conference Room.

According to a news release, following a public meeting in January, WYDOT received valuable feedback from local residents, landowners, and business owners regarding the preliminary layout—specifically the proposed center medians stretching from Wendy’s south to 1st Avenue East Street., and on East Brundage Lane from Sugarland Drive west to Sheridan Avenue.

In response to community concerns about traffic limitations, WYDOT officials met directly with affected stakeholders, the City Council, and the County Commission to rethink the design.

“We listened to the community’s feedback and made changes accordingly,” District Engineer Scott Taylor said. “The updated plans reflect a collaborative effort to balance local business access with essential safety upgrades.”

According to WYDOT, this updated design successfully addresses public concerns while maintaining the project’s core objectives: streamlining traffic flow and improving safety for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. Upgrades include safer neighborhood navigation, improved crossing points, and buffered zones.

WYDOT encourages all interested community members to attend and review the significant changes made to the original proposal.
