Provide input at Oct. 22 open house on Havana and Yale Multimodal Access Improvements Project
AURORA, Colo. – The city of Aurora is in the early phases of design of a project that will improve pedestrian access in three locations along Havana Street and Yale Avenue.
Residents are invited to learn more and provide input an upcoming event:
· Havana and Yale Multimodal Access Improvements Project Open House
Tuesday, Oct. 22, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Martin Luther King Jr. Library, 9898 E. Colfax Ave.
The project will fill in gaps in the sidewalk network, widen substandard sidewalks and improve multimodal access. Project improvements on Havana Street include implementing some recommendations from the 2023 Havana Street Corridor Study.
The targeted locations are Havana Street from Montview Boulevard to East 13th Avenue, Havana Street from East Fourth Way to just north of East First Avenue, and East Yale Avenue from South Peoria Street to South Xanadu Way.
These locations were selected for this project since they are heavily used transit-oriented corridors where the need for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to transit facilities is critical.
Visit AuroraGov.org/MissingSidewalks for more information or to provide input online starting Oct. 21.
