Hampden Avenue (U.S. 285) is a critical element of the Colorado and the Denver metro area transportation network. The corridor has a long history of moving people and goods through and between the cities of Sheridan, Englewood, Cherry Hills Village and Denver, and provides essential commercial and regional access to the C470 and I-25 corridors. The study, completed in 2023, identified a corridor vision for phased improvements that address safety, reduce congestion, improve operations, and enhanced opportunity to travel by walking, biking, wheeling, scooting, or taking transit.

Summary

Hampden Avenue (U.S. 285) is a critical element of the Colorado and the Denver metro area transportation network. The corridor has a long history of moving people and goods through and between the cities of Sheridan, Englewood, Cherry Hills Village and Denver, and provides essential commercial and regional access to the C470 and I-25 corridors. The study will examine the corridor through the following four segments:

  • Segment 1: Lowell Boulevard/Knox Court to Santa Fe Drive
  • Segment 2: Santa Fe Drive to Gilpin Street
  • Segment 3: Gilpin Street to Colorado Boulevard
  • Segment 4: Colorado Boulevard to 1-25

Goal of the Study

To identify a corridor vision for phased improvements that address safety concerns and include proposed actions for reducing congestion, improving operational performance, and addressing future transportation needs and multimodal options within the defined Hampden Avenue corridor.

The project also aimed to preserve community character and seek ways to enhance community amenities and/or placemaking.

Final Report 

Explore immediate, short, mid and long-term recommended improvements from the study.
