Share Your Experience Survey Summary

A non-scientific survey was conducted from June 2 to Aug. 15, 2025 to gather community feedback on Peoria Street between Fitzsimons Parkway/MLK Jr. Boulevard and 30th Avenue. A total of 126 responses were recorded, with most respondents reporting that they travel along Peoria Street primarily by vehicle. Bicycling was the second most common mode of transportation. The majority of respondents indicated they travel the corridor a few times a week or month, while fewer than 15 percent reported using it daily.

Survey participants were asked to rank the importance of several upgrades proposed as part of the project. The highest priorities were building a shared-use path along Peoria Street and addressing intersection congestion, followed by adding travel lanes. Widening sidewalks and improving access to Sand Creek Park and the Sand Creek Greenway received the lowest rankings, although all five upgrades were rated relatively closely in importance.

56 respondents (44 percent) left additional information for the team regarding current conditions or potential improvements. A few themes emerged in the written comments. There is a divide between support for increasing vehicle capacity to address the current bottleneck and concerns that road widening will negatively impact safety. Many respondents are interested in improvements to the Sand Creek Greenway Trail including better connections from Peoria Street. Vehicle speed reduction strategies are desired along with safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. Multiple comments cited issues with current signal timing along Peoria Street between I-70 and the MLK Jr. Boulevard / Fitzsimons Parkway intersection. A few respondents also advocated for the inclusion of public art as part of the project.
