2023 Traffic Calming Project

Project Overview

Edgewater has recently improved walkability, biking and added traffic calming to many areas around the city. To continue the vision of the 2019 Traffic Calming and Walkability Plan, the City is working to engage the community to look at opportunities to improve Harlan Street and W. 26th Avenue as they both are major routes in our City.

Harlan St. from 20th Ave to 26th Ave.

Harlan Street is a wide north-south street in Edgewater which results in higher speeds. It also is a key biking route but conditions are not comfortable for cyclists. Harlan Street has the potential to become a safe and comfortable corridor for residents to walk, bike and drive with wider sidewalks, bicycle lanes and traffic calming features.

26th Ave. from Sheridan to Pierce St.

W. 26th Ave. is shared in part with the City of Wheat Ridge, in 2022 a median was put in at Kendall St. to help slow traffic and add a safe place for pedestrians to cross. However, additional challenges remain to slow and manage traffic speeds, enhance a key west-east bike and bus route and to consider additional pedestrian crossings.
