Project Overview

The East Arapahoe Multi-Use Path and Transit Stops Project will fill in missing links in the multi-use path system and enhance bus stops along Arapahoe Avenue between 38th /Marine streets and Cherryvale Road.

This project is part of the larger East Arapahoe Transportation Plan.

Project Goals

Enhance multimodal safety, access and connectivity on East Arapahoe by:

  • Completing gaps in the pedestrian and multi-use path network
  • Creating off-street pedestrian and bicycle connections to local and regional transit service
  • Enhancing nine bus stops with shelters, trash receptacles and other amenities to provide a safe and comfortable environment for waiting transit passengers

We are committed to sharing construction updates on this webpage. Construction impacts may change due to changing and unforeseen conditions. Major construction began in December 2024 and will take approximately 4 months. Construction is expected to complete in July 2025.

Construction crews will generally work from west to east, beginning at Marine Street.

  • Travelers can expect one lane closure daily, with occasional two-lane closures.
  • Visit Cone Zones for construction and traffic impacts.

Proposed Design

Based on community feedback gathered through public meetings and a questionnaire, the proposed design features:

  • The addition of a 12-foot multi-use path and 8-foot landscape buffer, where it can be accommodated within the existing public right-of-way. View mock-up.
  • In limited segments east of Eisenhower Drive, a 10-foot multi-use path and 2 to 8-foot landscaped buffer
  • Buffer landscaping throughout the corridor, with some hardscape buffers in appropriate locations
  • Enhancements to 10 transit stops along the corridor.
