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.

  • Share I have some questions and concerns on this project. This is actually the first time I have seen anything about it. Were notifications sent to people who actually live on Harlan? I see proposed plans which I do not like all of them some could be good. Some unnecessary and will probably be disruptive as I am sure it will take a while to construct. Is there a timeline for some of these? How long the construction will last? Are all the items mentioned going in place? When would changes to the sidewalks be happening? I have been working on landscaping would that just be torn out? on Facebook Share I have some questions and concerns on this project. This is actually the first time I have seen anything about it.

    Jessie asked 6 months ago

    Hello,

    Yes, letters were mailed out to all property owners and properties along Harlan Street and on W. 26th Ave. The workshops and meetings were also advertised on our website and in the Town Cryer email newsletter. We are still working though what a timeline will be for all the recommendations depending on budget available but they would be phased over many years. There is a potential to start with a roundabout at W. 26th and Harlan for 2024. The city is continuing to replace damaged sidewalk as the budget allows and on Harlan the sidewalks are being widened toward the street in to the tree lawn. In 2024 only some sections of damaged sidewalks will be repaired and we would work with the homeowner to minimize damage to landscaping before any work was done.
