Broadway US-36 Eastbound and Multimodal Improvements
The project will build a multimodal pathway, along the southern edge of Broadway, connecting CO-7/5th Ave in Lyons on the western end of downtown Lyons to the St Vrain trail network and Black Bear Hole at the eastern edge of town. Access to businesses will also be improved by creating pedestrian walkways and additional parking opportunities.
Currently, Broadway (US-36 eastbound) does not have sidewalks or bike lanes. This project will enhance pedestrian activity and enable pedestrians and cyclists to travel more safely along the roadway. It will also create pedestrian access on the northern edge to the businesses along Broadway, activating the north side of the road for improved business access, and add on-street parking along the southern and northern edges of Broadway (very similar to Main St parking and improvements).
