PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Widen the roadway to provide a safer shoulder walkway. Design with physical separation where possible. Consider the use by bicyclists in the uphill direction.
PLANNING-LEVEL COST ESTIMATE
$800,000 – 1,000,000 A project development phase will be required to confirm project feasibility and cost estimates.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES
- Safe Routes to School Program
- Quick Build Network Completion (Pedestrian Network)
- BES Collaboration Opportunity
ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Design Exception Required: Safer Shoulder Walkways are an emerging treatment and require a design exception from PBOT traffic engineering group. This may impact the feasibility and design details of this project.
- Relationship to TSP: This is a partial implementation of TSP 90007. The full project remains in the TSP for major project funding and long term implementation. Upon implementation of the Southwest in Motion project, the TSP should be revised to reflect the remaining project elements and costs.
