Project Overview
Adams County is undertaking the design of roadway improvements on E. 73rd Avenue, Race Street and E. 74th Avenue between Washington Street and York Street (see project map below). A Preliminary Design phase was completed in early 2021 which included a roadway improvement study of the corridor. The overall objective of the study was to evaluate the corridor for improvements to auto, bike, and pedestrian safety and mobility with a focus on increasing accessibility and neighborhood connections. The study also examined drainage systems on the corridor. The Preliminary Design phase was concluded with the design of the preferred alternative.
Two public meetings were held in connection with the Preliminary Design phase. In October 2020, the County shared three draft road design alternatives in a virtual public “meeting room”, which was open to the public for two weeks. Based on the comments and concerns received from the community, along with an in-depth analysis of technical concepts and requirements, the project team recommended a “preferred alternative” for the corridor which was shared at a second virtual public meeting in early March 2021.

Project Updates
The project has kicked-off the Right of Way (ROW) property acquisition phase, which is expected to be completed in spring 2025. HDR, the consultant, is in the process of contacting the property owners to review the impacts to the properties and start the acquisition process.
Surveyors will be on-site to set temporarily marks (stakes) denoting the proposed acquisition area(s) and temporary construction easements. A real estate specialist will be in touch with impacted properties to explain the type of property easement being marked (staked).
- Pink = proposed right of way (fee simple)
- Blue = temporary easement
- Green = permanent easement
