Structural Project

Cherry Creek Pedestrian Connection, Denver, CO

Nature of Work:
City of Denver

Project Description:
JR was responsible for preparing construction bid documents for a 10' pedestrian trail between the Cherry Creek Trail and the east side of Colorado Boulevard . The trail also extended along the east side of Colorado Boulevard North to the existing walk, adjacent to the Target Store. The City received approval for Transportation Improvement Project (TIP) funding for this project to eliminate an unsafe pedestrian crossing.

Prior to construction, a sidewalk connection existed on the west side of Colorado Boulevard to the Cherry Creek Trail that required pedestrians to cross Colorado Boulevard at Virginia Avenue to gain access to the businesses located on the east side. The intersection is signalized at Virginia ; however, the intersection experiences high volumes of turning movements that created an unsafe condition for pedestrians crossing Colorado Boulevard.
