Evans Avenue serves as a critical east/west corridor through the Denver metropolitan area and is home to a diverse community of residents and businesses that are deeply invested in their neighborhoods. The corridor has historically experienced crashes impacting drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, and the City and County of Denver is working to improve safety. This project from Clay Street to Osage Street, aims to enhance the community’s connectivity, accessibility, and safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
The Evans Avenue Vision Zero Project is a part of the Safer Main Streets (SMS) Initiative funded through federal grants administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The project includes the design and construction of safety improvements such as raised medians and pedestrian refuges. These improvements will reduce speeds, shorten pedestrian crossings, add ADA compliant curb ramps, and eliminate some left-turn movements.
The project will design and construct the following:
Addition of 5 raised medians located between Clay Street and Bryant Street, Bryant Street and Zuni Street, Zuni Street and Vallejo Street, Vallejo Street and Tejon Street, and Pecos Street and Osage Street.
Pedestrian Improvements at Bryant Street and Pecos Street
Left-turn restrictions at Bryant Street and Pecos Street
The proposed final design aligns with both the Safer Main Streets program goals and the 2020 Denver Vision Zero Plan.
Project Area:
The project corridor is Evans Avenue from Clay Street to Osage Street. The project will design raised concrete medians and pedestrian ramp improvements to improve safety and ADA accessibility along the corridor.
