Sheridan Corridor Multimodal Plan

Starting January 2026, Denver Water will begin a major pipe replacement project on Sheridan Boulevard. They’ll be replacing about 8,000 feet of aging water mains beneath the roadway. This is separate from the City of Edgewater’s Sheridan Boulevard Multimodal Corridor Project, but the timing is intentional so utility work is completed before the multimodal project begins.

Water service for City of Edgewater water customers will not be affected. Customers billed directly by Denver Water will be notified by Denver Water if any outages are planned during construction.

What to expect from Denver Water’s project

• Work hours: To minimize traffic and business impacts, most work will take place Sunday–Thursday nights, roughly 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

• Phase 1 (17th to 29th Ave): Expected to last about nine months.

• Next phase (17th to 13th Ave): Follows immediately after.

• Overall timeline: Work is anticipated to continue into early 2027.

The project is currently in the CDOT design phase. The overall goal is to provide a corridor that is safer, accessible, and more comfortable for all users who travel to, from, and along Sheridan Boulevard.

Proposed revised Sheridan Boulevard cross-section featuring the elements described below.

Project Improvements include:

• Add wider sidewalks and curb extensions along Sheridan Boulevard for more comfortable travel. Curb extensions (Figure 1 example below) reduce pedestrian crossing distances and slow motorist turning speeds, creating a safer environment for all users.
• Install Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon midblock crossing (Figure 2 & Figure 3 examples below) between 22^nd Avenue and 24^th Avenue providing safe and accessible access to and from Edgewater to Sloan’s Lake Park.
• Install enhanced transit stops along the corridor.
• Redesign driveways between W 20th and W 17th Avenues to slow turning traffic to enhance pedestrian safety.
• Provide additional landscaping (Figure 4 example below) along Sheridan Boulevard, including trees, planters, and vegetation.
• Additional and updated lighting to add character and pedestrian amenities along Sheridan Boulevard.
• Add a center median to reduce approach turn and broadside crashes for vehicles.
