Access from local side streets will be preserved and encour-aged for properties with double frontage.
New access points will be constructed to CDOT stan-dards and realigned to allow for safer access in and out of businesses.
Business owners will be able to grant shared access ease-ments between businesses to allow visitors to enter both businesses and make left turns between the medians.
Mid-block left turn lanes will allow access to businesses that do not have auxiliary access from local side streets. Alignment of reconstructed access points will allow this to work on both sides of the highway.

The Americans with Disabili-ties Act requires the installa-tion of curb ramps in new sidewalks and whenever an alteration is made to a street. ADA ramps will improve the mobility and connect new im-provements along the high-way to the neighborhoods to the east and west.
Provides pedestrian mobility without the need for property owners to dedicate additional right-of-way for the installa-tion of improvements.
Streetscape elements such as new street lights and signage can be added to the project to allow for additional visual enhancements to be added to the highway.
New access points will be constructed to CDOT stan-dards and realigned to allow for safer access in and out of businesses.
New Way Finding Signs
A theme for way �nding sig-nage will be developed and installed with new improve-ments. These will identify places of interest, business districts, civic structures, and other important nodes in the community.
Crosswalks will be relocated to several mid-block crossing points where there is high usage. This will move pedes-trians away from busy inter-sections.
The existing turn lane will be maintained. New access points for businesses will eliminate some of the existing con�icts between vehicles.
A raised pedestrian refuge crossing will allow pedestri-ans to cross in two stages. These should be placed in high crossing areas. These will be also have �ashing sig-nage which will help slow tra�c for pedestrians crossing the Highway.

New Crosswalks
With the installation of new sidewalks, additional cross-walks can be installed at key intersections to provide safe pedestrian access across the highway.
