32nd Avenue Improvements, Braun Court to Wright Court
Project Scope: Jefferson County is partnering with the City of Wheat Ridge to widen this portion of 32nd Avenue. The City will administer the construction contract. Each agency will provide inspection oversight for work occurring within its respective boundaries. The Jefferson County project limits on 32nd Avenue will be from Braun Court to Zinnia Court. Improvements will involve roadway widening and intersection improvements, signal upgrades, street lighting, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and drainage enhancements.
Project Update: Crews have completed most of the storm sewer placement and are working on the irrigation ditch and the lateral pipelines. Progress continues on the wall construction underneath the I-70 overpass and traffic signals west of the overpass. Work will soon begin on removal and reconstruction of the southern sidewalk, west of I-70.
Project Schedule: Roadway construction work is expected to begin on January 28, 2013, and is expected to continue through the end of September 2013.

North Evergreen Activity Trail (NEAT) Sidewalk Completion
Project Scope: Jefferson County is participating with the NEAT committee to build a new sidewalk in North Evergreen. Currently, students walking to Bergen Valley Elementary School from Sugarbush Drive and Placid Drive travel on an unpaved shoulder next to the roadway.
The new sidewalk will connect the northeast corner of the Sugarbush Drive and Placid Drive intersection to the driveway at Bergen Valley Elementary School, adding 0.5 miles of six-foot sidewalk.
The project is funded by a federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant of $249,447, and a donation of $25,500 from the NEAT organization. Jefferson County will contribute in-house design costs and construction management.
Project Update: Five qualified bids were received April 12, 2013. The low bid of $264,000 is being processed for award. Construction is planned to occur from June 1 - July 31, 2013.
Project Contact: For more information regarding the project, please contact Dixie Shear at dshear@jeffco.us or 303-271-8495.
