BACKGROUND

The City of Aurora is embarking on a transformative initiative to enhance community connectivity through a comprehensive sidewalk improvement project. This endeavor is rooted in the principles of safety and accessibility, seeking to address critical gaps and deficiencies within the city’s sidewalk network. The focus of this endeavor spans approximately 4.2 miles of E 12th & E 13th Avenue, extending from Yosemite Street & E 12th Avenue on the West to E 12th Avenue North of Hinkley High School.

Key Objectives:

• Bring the 15% conceptual design from the 13th Avenue Multimodal Mobility Study to 60% for the entire 4.2 mile project limits.

• Evaluate the 15% conceptual designs of two raised intersections, six raised crosswalks, and one mid- block crossing with an RRFB, and bring those deemed feasible to 60% design.

• Complete 100% design for a single 1-mile segment, or group of segments totaling one mile.

• Conduct community & stakeholder engagement for the segment(s).

• Improve traffic safety in high vulnerability areas.

• Improve bicycle facilities by adding a 8’-10’ shared use lane.

• Widen substandard sidewalks.

Project Impact:

This project aligns with the City of Aurora’s commitment to improving multimodal access and safety by providing improved bicycle facilities and widened sidewalks. The project limits are designated as a City of Aurora Bicycle Route. Arapahoe County and DRCOG have also designated it a priority multimodal corridor.
