Downhill Drive/US 40 Intersection
The US40 & Downhill Drive Intersection is a high priority for improvement. Completed by Baseline Engineering, the planned intersection improvements include aligning Downhill Drive and Riverside Drive, installation of signals, planning for future 4-lanes on US40, and improving pedestrian, bicycle, and transit service to the intersection.
The city partnered with CDOT and will provide design and property acquisition, while CDOT will manage and fund most of the construction. The city is in the process of final CDOT approvals and completion of land acquisition.
The project is anticipated to go to bid in November 2023 with construction occurring during the summers of 2024 and 2025. Work will be completed in two phases with the Riverside portion of the project occurring in 2004 and the Downhill Drive portion in 2025.

consider snow removal
The small curbed triangular island seen on page 23 at the entrance to the Mexican restaurant/YVTP lot is not easy to plow around and would likely get damaged pretty quickly. In the winter when covered in snow it would also cause a blind spot when entering/exiting that lot. Probably best to remove it from the plans

No Sidewalk connection to West End Plaza
looking at the plans they look great and I am very excited to have this coming (hopefully in the near future)!! Living at West End Village this intersection improvement will be greatly utilized by my subdivision and other subdivisions near me. One minor connection question I have with this proposal is why the sidewalk on NAPA's property will not connect to West End Plaza? Seems like the sidewalk at West End Plaza is already there and this would be in the scope for this project to connect it. It appears to look like West End Plaza side walk will dead-end into a parking lot which then you would need to go around to the other sidewalk to access the bus stop. I can understand there might be a big embankment there and the cost is not worth it, but I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Really I am just excited that the sidewalk will go from downhill all the way to West End Village's sidewalk though... I really really appreciate that for safety!!

Right turn only lane, out from of Riverside Drive
I feel there needs to be a "right turn only" lane out of Riverside drive as that will make traffic flow more smoothly from Riverside. The cars that want to go straight across to Downhill Dr/or turn left, could be combined in the left lane that waits for the light to change. The conceptual drawing has only a left turn arrow, I think this needs to be a combination of left turn and straight arrows for through traffic. Leave the right hand lane for Riverside neighbors to turn right on red and keep traffic flowing into town and to the schools we are zoned for. Thank you. Erin

Q: Will sidewalk from R'side to Lagoon remain? & will CDOT or City control new light? Thx for the efforts to better the intersection.
Questions, as I can't make the open house.
