View Before and After photos of this project. 

Project Purpose: The Foothills Parkway and Arapahoe Avenue Transportation Improvements Project made improvements to all modes of travel including pedestrian, bicycle, transit and vehicular modes. This intersection is one of the busiest in Boulder.  The proposed improvements will alleviate traffic congestion and will make travel through the area more safe.

Specific Transportation Improvements:

  • Triple left-turn lane from westbound Arapahoe Avenue to southbound Foothills Parkway
  • Eastbound and westbound bus queue jump lanes
  • Lengthened eastbound and westbound deceleration and acceleration lanes
  • Bicycle and pedestrian underpass at Arapahoe Avenue, east of Foothills Parkway, for the multi-use path that travels north-south along Foothills Parkway and floodplain improvements to Bear Creek
  • Third southbound through-lane from north of the Foothills Parkway bridge over Boulder Creek south to Colorado Avenue
  • Private and public utility upgrades
  • Street lighting
  • Water quality and wetlands improvements to Bear Creek


Timeline:

  • Began - late October 2006
  • Completed - September of 2007
