Beaver Creek Blvd Streetscape Improvements Project Construction to Begin Next Week

Construction of the Beaver Creek Blvd Streetscape Improvements Project is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 14, 2018. The Beaver Creek Blvd Streetscape Improvements Project generally consists of modification of street geometry, on-street parking, bicycle lanes, enhanced sidewalks and pedestrian safety improvements, lighting, and landscaping between Lake Street and Beaver Creek Place.  Project highlights include:

• 6’-10’ wide sidewalks
• 11’ vehicle travel lanes
• 4’ continuous bike lane between vehicle travel lanes and parking spaces
• 2’ buffer between bike lanes and parallel parking
• 8’ parallel parking spaces
• Left turn lanes into Christie Lodge and the Avon Center/Alpine Bank
• Landscape islands and enhancements throughout
• Pedestrian crosswalks
• Reconfigured Sun Road and Lake Street intersections for improved visibility
• Lighting uniformity

Work will be performed Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The Project will require temporary lane closures during construction and traffic control will be in place.  Motorists may encounter minor delays and are asked to remain patient and to please allow additional travel time. On street parking within the project boundaries will not be available during the construction period. The Project will take approximately six months to complete and is being constructed by Hudspeth & Associates, Inc. on behalf of the Town.  Please contact Jim Horsley with the Town of Avon Engineering Department at jhorsley@avon.org or (970) 748-4134 with questions regarding this work.
