North Broadway (Violet-US 36) Reconstruction

The North Broadway Reconstruction Project will improve the pavement condition of the street infrastructure and make improvements to the multimodal facilities where possible.

Planning and design for the project began in 2016 and will continue into 2018. Construction is planned to start in 2019 and is anticipated to take 18 months to complete.

Latest news:

The project team has met with interested businesses within the project area over the past few months. These meetings were an opportunity for us to share the current design concepts and ask for feedback.

About the project and the initial scope

The roadway pavement on North Broadway is in poor condition and requires reconstruction. This project will provide a more durable pavement that does not require as frequent maintenance and provide a safer and better riding experience for drivers, transit riders and on-street bicyclists.

The project applied for and received a federal grant to reconstruct the pavement in concrete as well as retain and possibly enhance or add pedestrian, bicycle and transit stop facilities and improvements. There is also some funding for street lighting, landscaping and public art.

The initial scope includes:

Pavement reconstruction in concrete and new curb and gutter
Improvement to the on-street bicycle facilities
Installation of a traffic signal at Broadway and Yarmouth Avenue and new or improved traffic signal interconnection and bicycle detection systems
Pedestrian and transit stop upgrades
City utility upgrades for storm sewer
Coordination for future improvements at crossing of Fourmile Canyon Creek

Project Budget

The project budget is $8.3 million, with $6.2 in federal Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) grant funding and $2.1 million in city transportation funds.

This supports the budgeting principles and priorities of the Transportation Master Plan, which makes preserving the existing transportation infrastructure and system a high priority.

Public Involvement

Feedback received from the public process will be incorporated into the final project design, where feasible.
