The NW Aurora Intersections Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Program will construct bulb-outs (also known as curb extensions) at eight intersections. The goal is to enhance walking and driving conditions in northwest Aurora neighborhoods along streets that are on the Regional High Injury Network (those roadways with the highest number of fatal and severe injury crashes, as defined in the Denver Regional Council of Governments' Taking Action on Regional Vision Zero plan).

Prior crash history and community input, including feedback gathered during the 2020-21 Havana Street Corridor Study, informed initial project designs and helped prioritize project locations. These installations will reduce the crossing distance and narrow the roadway to encourage slower vehicle speeds, which will improve crossing safety and comfort and enhance visibility for pedestrians accessing area trails, parks, schools, bus stops and other amenities and destinations.

Subscribe for project updates to stay informed on upcoming public meetings and other engagement opportunities. Project construction is estimated to start in the second quarter 2025. The project's final design will be posted on this webpage soon.

A virtual public meeting was held on Zoom in April 2023. Navigate to the Documents tab on the right-hand side bar of the main page to view the meeting materials in English and Spanish. The Public Meeting Video is also available to watch.
