120th Avenue Corridor Study

Thank you to those who were able to join us for the second public meeting. The materials from that meeting can be found via the links below. Please share these with neighbors and friends. The survey to provide feedback on the alternatives is also available via the link below.

What is being shown in the alternative images? 

• These alternatives show how the roadway could be reconstructed to improve safety and access for all travel modes.
• They show a single location on 120th Avenue but the same or similar improvements would be made to the roadway east and west of the location shown.
• The viewpoints at Chambers show how the roadway could be changed between Tower Road & Sable Road.
• The viewpoints at Southgate show how the roadway could be changed between Sable Road & Highway 85.
• We are asking for your input on these alternatives. Please complete the survey below to tell us what you think.
• Using your input and other data, the project team will develop a draft concept design. We will share this with the community for review and input in the next 3-4 months.
• Thanks for sharing your opinions! If you’ve not done so, please sign up for project notifications.
• These are examples of a single location and we are asking for input on the various elements of the design (how lanes are used, the types of bike and pedestrian facilities)
• Once we have gathered input we will work to lay out elements along the corridor as a full concept design and we will again ask for input to refine this design.

Description, Goals, and Outcomes

120th Avenue is a key corridor for Adams County, City of Brighton, City of Commerce City, and the region. It is critical for many different users, including:

• Students and parents accessing the schools
• Residents with limited ways of entering or exiting their community
• Heavy trucks delivering freight
• Bicyclists and pedestrians that are forced to share the road with heavy trucks
• Those interested in accessing community resources
• Commuters traveling to local and regional destinations

Developing a cohesive vision for the corridor is the first step to improve safety, function, capacity, and reliability for years to come. That vision must accommodate existing and future development, and balance traffic demand while not compromising safety. The vision will inform design recommendations and strategies for implementation. 

Project Map

The study area includes Adams County, City of Brighton, and City of Commerce City, as shown in the map.

Survey Outcomes

The community engagement survey was open for 44 days and had 309 participants, over 9,000 data points were collected along with more than 530 comments along the 120th Avenue corridor between US-85 and Tower Road. Community members provided their thoughts and concerns related to safety and mobility along the 120th Avenue corridor. A summary will be shared along with design alternatives at the upcoming public meeting.
