The proposed Jefferson Parkway toll road would run between Highways 93 and 128. It would intersect with but not overlap 93. It would start about five miles north of Golden and head northeast from there, stopping near to where the Northwest Parkway intersects U.S. 36. The City of Boulder and Boulder County are considering making an agreement with Jefferson County to drop their opposition to the Jefferson Parkway (they would move to a neutral position) in exchange for permanent protection of State Land Board Section 16, a 640-acre parcel east of 93 that would be preserved as open space.
The Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority (JPPHA) established by Jefferson County, City of Arvada and the City and County of Broomfield is trying to secure an investor to build and manage this highway as a toll road.
