SLIDE 13
Preliminary Funding Assumptions
SLIDE 14
Current and Potential Funding Sources
- Denver General Obligation Bond
- $55 million
- Other funding sources may include:
- Federal grant funding
- Statewide ballot initiatives
- Other local funding
SLIDE 15
Project Elements: What’s included in funding assumptions?
- Station areas
- ~1 block in each direction (east/west)
- Pedestrian access and safety features
- ~4 mid-block crossings, sidewalks and curb
extensions
- BRT and vehicle operations (between stations and
new crossings)
- Curb-to-curb
- Buses
- Replacement of Rt 15 Fleet
SLIDE 16
Conceptual (10%) Design Methodology
SLIDE 17
SLIDE 18
Conceptual Station Area Design
Design Methodology: How much space do we have?
Preliminary design concept. Subject to change.
Maintains existing driveway access Expanded sidewalks and shorter/safer pedestrian crossings Left turn lanes at signalized intersections Prioritize curbside parking and loading Center running stations and bus lanes Varied median widths
SLIDE 19
Conceptual Pedestrian Crossing Design
Preliminary design concept. Subject to change.
Maintains existing driveway access Expanded sidewalks and shorter/safer pedestrian crossings Prioritize curbside parking and loading Center running bus lanes Stop light for pedestrian crossing
SLIDE 20
Corridor-Wide Pedestrian Safety Project
SLIDE 21
Corridor-Wide Pedestrian Safety Project
- Prioritizing Intersections (Sheridan to Yosemite)
- Pedestrian crashes
- Conceptual Design (10% design)
- Coordinating with BRT design (East Colfax)
- Complete by October 2018
- Integration with Next phase of BRT to begin in 2019
(including streetscape, etc.)

SLIDE 24
Open House Discussion
SLIDE 25
Open House Discussion
- Areas of emphasis for detailed design
- Local access
- Stop spacing and connectivity
- Traffic operations
- How are these areas addressed in the conceptual design?
- How does it all fit together?
- What’s missing?
- Are there other areas that need special attention
(e.g., walk experience, traffic operations, etc.)? 25
