FAQs

A Corridor Feasibility Study allows staff to catalogue as many constraints and opportunities as possible along a given corridor. In this case, consultants are focusing on: 

• vehicular demand relative to capacity; 
• viability for first response, GVT buses, and larger trucks; 
• historic and livability value of street trees and landscaping;
•  Level of Traffic Stress and complexity for travelers along the sidewalks and within cycle facilities; 
• impact to private property; and
• relative cost

Coming out of this study, staff expect to recommend “Preferred Alternatives,” which offer a high-level concept view that best balances all of these factors. The study is currently underway and is not yet complete. 

7th Street offers direct access to many institutions, businesses, and residents. It is the only corridor that continuously connects the Riverfront Trail to north of I-70 and is also the most popular route to access Las Colonias and the Riverfront Trail. 

7th street also rated high and medium priority for the creation of safer sidewalk and cycling facilities in the Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan. It is represented on the High Injury Network due to a history of crashes impacting Active Transportation users.

Preferred alternatives are options for new street layouts. You can expect that these will have safer pedestrian crossings, separated bicycle facilities, minimized impact to existing landscaping and street trees, while still meeting vehicular demand.

Yes! Community members can engage with this site's tools to provide feedback regarding the concept visuals. 

City staff will review the current concept visuals presented to various community members and stakeholders. Staff will assess the concepts and identify opportunities where sections need to be revisited. 

A comprehensive review of the concepts, feedback, and recommendations will be presented to City Council in Feb. 2025.
