From the City of Edgewater:
PUBLIC WORKS
Road Construction: The City of Lakewood will be working with Martin Marietta to mill and overlay a few streets that are jointly owned by Lakewood and Edgewater. Construction starts next week (Monday April 15th) on 17th Ave. between Sheridan Blvd. and Depew St., Depew St. between 17th Ave. and 20th Ave. and Fenton St. between 18th Ave. and 20th Ave. The contractor has put out signs for no parking and traffic will be diverted during construction. For more information please contact the Project Manager Andy Chaulk at 303-817-1584.
Safe Routes to School Project: The City of Edgewater and Jefferson County School District were awarded a 2019 Safe Routes to School Grant to make improvements to Pierce Street between Lumberg Elementary and Jefferson Middle/ High School. The improvements include installing two raised crossings between the school, a median and new bike lane. The City is also looking at changes to the traffic pattern on 22nd Ave. and exploring a one-way system to alleviate some of the congestion through this street during peak drop-off and pick-up times. Improvements to this area will not only assist in slowing traffic down between the schools but will also provide two new safer crossing areas for students. Currently the City and School District are working hard to initiate and complete these improvements this summer. Prior to construction, both entities will be hosting several public information meetings to discuss changes in the traffic and pedestrian patterns around the school.
• Wednesday, April 24th 6pm Lumberg Elementary
