We Are Here
Intersection, pedestrian safety and streetscaping
Neighborhood Planning Initiatives (east / east central)
RTD 15L improvements
Others
Coordination with Related Projects
10% Designs (BRT+ Pedestrian Mobility)
Conceptual layout and function - 2018
30% Design (BRT+ Streetscaping)
Begins to evolve conceptual layout and functionality - 2019
Final Design + Construction
Starting 2020 / 2021
Preliminary Funding Assumptions
Current and Potential Funding Sources
Denver General Obligation Bond $55 million
Other funding sources may include: Federal grant funding Statewide ballot initiatives Other local funding
Project Elements: What’s included in funding assumptions?
Station areas ~1 block in each direction (east/west)
Pedestrian access and safety features ~4 mid-block crossings, sidewalks and curb
extensions
BRT and vehicle operations (between stations and new crossings) Curb-to-curb
Buses Replacement of Rt 15 Fleet
Conceptual (10%) Design Methodology
Conceptual Station Area Design
Design Methodology: How much space do we have?
Preliminary design concept. Subject to change.
Maintains existing driveway
access
Expanded sidewalks and shorter/safer
pedestrian crossings
Left turn lanes at signalized intersections
Prioritize curbside parking and
loading
Center running stations and
bus lanes
Varied median widths
Conceptual Pedestrian Crossing Design
Preliminary design concept. Subject to change.
Maintains existing driveway
access
Expanded sidewalks and shorter/safer
pedestrian crossings
Prioritize curbside parking and
loading
Center running bus lanes
Stop light for pedestrian crossing
Corridor-Wide Pedestrian Safety Project
Corridor-Wide Pedestrian Safety Project
Prioritizing Intersections (Sheridan to Yosemite) Pedestrian crashes
Conceptual Design (10% design) Coordinating with BRT design (East Colfax) Complete by October 2018
Integration with Next phase of BRT to begin in 2019 (including streetscape, etc.)
Design Example

Open House Discussion
Open House Discussion
Areas of emphasis for detailed design Local access Stop spacing and connectivity Traffic operations
How are these areas addressed in the conceptual design?
How does it all fit together?
What’s missing? Are there other areas that need special attention
(e.g., walk experience, traffic operations, etc.)?
