When Boulder Pointe was designed, platted, and constructed, there was a short road connection called Woody Way built off the western end of the development for future access between the two neighborhoods of Presidio and Boulder Pointe.  In the early 2000s, the Presidio’s City Council approved a development agreement with the original developer and based on neighborhood input specified that the gate across Woody Way would be removed at a specified time after project construction began.  The main reason for the gate was to prevent heavy construction traffic from going through the Boulder Pointe neighborhood.  Since the development activity stopped due to the Great Recession, the original developer filed bankruptcy and no longer exists, all of this made the original development agreement timing no longer applicable.  When the project was resurrected by the current developer, the City agreed to leave the gate in place until after 90% of the homes in Presidio had been occupied.  The total number of parcels in Presidio is 515.  As of October of 2019, 488 building permits had been issued, making Presidio roughly 95% built out. 

Working with the Transportation Commission the Woody Way gate was removed in April 2020.  Several traffic studies have been conducted that document the gate closed and opened condition on the adjacent streets.  The Transportation Commission has held multiple public meetings with the two neighborhoods discussing varying options for Woody Way.  Citizens of Boulder Pointe have twice in the calendar year 2021 submitted citizen petitions.  On April 20, 2021, City Council heard a Citizen's Petition to close Woody Way, this item was heard by the Transportation Commission on June 2, 2021.  The Transportation Commission recommended not closing Woody Way.  A second Citizen's Petition was forwarded to the City Council on September 2, 2021, asking that Woody Way be converted to a Westbound One Way roadway, this item was also forwarded to the Transportation Commission. The Transportation Commission invited both neighborhoods to their October 6, 2021, meeting and after considerable public comment recommends that the City Council keep Woody Way open and recommends the installation of traffic-calming in the form of pavement markings and raised pedestrian crosswalks to minimize the speed of vehicles on Woody Way and the adjacent intersections.
