Project Limits



Identified as a high-injury crash network/corridor of concern and awarded a Community Mobility Planning and Implementation (CMPI) grant, the Sheridan Boulevard Multimodal Corridor Plan was developed by the City of Edgewater in partnership with the City and County of Denver, Regional Transportation District (RTD), and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).


The Plan was created during 2021 and 2022, addresses Sheridan Boulevard, between West 17th and West 26th avenues, and was adopted by the Edgewater City Council in October, 2022. Implementation of the plan is in process as a Colorado Department of Transportation project. Currently, it is in the design phase (2023-2024) and construction is anticipated after that (2026-2028 timeframe).


The Plan identifies opportunities for enhanced multimodal infrastructure that will deliver increased safety and comfort for people walking, biking, riding transit, and driving along the corridor area. The project also highlights opportunities to enrich public spaces and make Sheridan Boulevard into an entryway for Edgewater’s that is more inviting for residents and visitors alike.

    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.
