Denver Kicks Off Federal Blvd Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project

Published in: Denver News

 

DENVER – Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), in partnership with its contractor Concrete Express, is starting work next week on improvements for Federal Boulevard between West 23rd and West 27th Avenues that will create a safer environment for pedestrians crossing the stretch and accessing local business destinations.

The project, funded by the voter-approved Elevate Denver Bond and the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Safer Main Streets Program, will make the following improvements:

  • Upgrade the pedestrian ramps on Federal Blvd at West 25th and West 26th Avenues.
  • Add concrete bulb-outs at multiple corners in the area to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and slow vehicle turns.
  • Install a HAWK signal on Federal Blvd. at West 25th Avenue. People on foot and on bikes can activate the HAWK signal to stop vehicles traveling on Federal to cross the street more easily and safely.
  • Transform West 25th Avenue from Federal Blvd to Eliot Street into a more pedestrian-friendly street with a narrowed and curved design to slow vehicle speeds (known as a chicane); install green infrastructure on this block to provide water quality and natural plantings to beautify and cool the environment.
  • Upgrade the stormwater infrastructure at W. 25th and W. 26th Avenues and on Eliot Street to improve drainage and reduce flood risks

The project is anticipated to wrap up by fall 2024.

Upcoming Travel Impacts:

Beginning Tuesday, November 14, through Friday, December 1, crews will realign how people travel on Federal Boulevard between West 22nd and West 28th Avenues, moving both northbound and southbound vehicle travel onto the west side of the roadway (in what’s normally the southbound travel lanes) to install new stormwater pipes on the east side of the roadway.

This temporary travel configuration will impact how drivers move along and cross this stretch of Federal Boulevard. Temporary sidewalk closures may be required over the course of the project; alternate access/routes will be provided. We encourage residents to visit the project webpage for more detailed information about the project and upcoming travel impacts, and to sign up for regular construction and schedule updates to stay informed.
