CDOT Design Phase Overview

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 22nd Avenue and 24th 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.
