More About Colorado Springs

The city is a Council-Manager government, with a City Council and Mayor that meet regularly to approve budgets and projects, while the city manager deals with the day-to-day aspects of running the city.

In the city the populus was spread out with 26.5% under the age of 18, 10.3% from 18 to 24, 32.8% from 25 to 44, 20.8% from 45 to 64, and 9.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 97.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.2 males.

As of the census of 2000, there were 360,890 people, 141,516 households, and 93,117 families residing in the city. The populus density was 1,942.9 people per square mile (750.2/km²). There were 148,690 housing units at an avg density of 800.5/sq mi (309.1/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 80.66% White, 6.56% African US, 0.88% Native US, 2.82% Asian, 0.21% Pacific Islander, 5.01% from other races, and 3.85% from two or more races. 12.01% of the populus were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Colorado Springs is served by the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. In the state of Colorado, only Denver International has more passenger traffic. The airfield has experienced a higher recovery rate in the post-9/11 era than the rest of the country and is in the system of enlargeing its maintenance facilities, taxiways, and runways to accommodate future growth. In 2005 it served approximately two 1,000,000 passengers.

Several suggestions have been made to create a loop around the city though none have been implemented. The original plan to convert Powers Boulevard, a major eastside expressway, into a bypass for I-25 was left, but is now being reconsidered by the city council amidst stringent opposition from a large developer responsible for the construction of a large commercial complex along the road. Easier access to the airfield has also been suggested. Overall the new thoroughfares would include one (or two) loop freeways, a spur into the city connecting the main freeway and the loop, east-west expressway upgrades, and easier access to the Colorado Springs Airport.

Colorado Springs has the worst traffic congestion for a city its size. In order to combat the congestion the Colorado Department of Transportation is in the system of widening the Interstate 25 corridor throughout the city from four lanes (two in each direction) to six lanes. This project has officially been named COSMIX (Colorado Springs Metro Interstate Expansion) Ultimately, the plan is to make the interstate eight lanes through the city when funding becomes available. This plan is similar in nature to Denver`s T-Rex expansion plan.
