FAQs

Fill Sidewalk Gaps: Address discontinuities in the existing sidewalk network to create a seamless pedestrian and bicycle pathway.

Widen Substandard Sidewalks: Enhance safety and accessibility by widening narrow sidewalks that fall short of contemporary standards.

Improve Multimodal Access: Prioritize critical transit corridors to fortify the multimodal transportation system.

Incorporate Recommendations: Feedback received from November 2025 outreach will be reviewed by project staff and, as applicable, evaluated for inclusion into the project.

These locations were selected since they are heavily used, transit-oriented corridors where the need for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to transit facilities is critical. The city has a map of missing sidewalk segments, which are ranked in priority. The segments selected for this project are ranked higher on the priority list and generally grouped in the same geographic area. This outreach is to vet those locations with the community.

Aurora will fund the design portion of the project and seek federal funding from the Denver Regional Council of Governments to help pay for sidewalk construction. The project has an estimated $6.176 million design and construction cost, with $2.224 million from the Federal Carbon Reduction Program, $3.088 million from the State Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Option fund, and a $864,000 local match from the city of Aurora. The city of Aurora only covers 14% of the total project cost.
