CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:

Pikes Peak Drive Pedestrian Improvements

Project Description: The project generally includes widening select sidewalks, adding pedestrian lighting, improving crosswalks, improving street drainage and undergrounding overhead power lines. The existing 5-ft public sidewalks along Victorian Peaks and Parker Flats will remain unchanged.
Project Cost: $3M
Design Phase Completion: January 2023
Construction Begins: June 2023
Project Completion: December 2023

PHASE 1
- involves widening existing sidewalks to a variable width of 6 to 8-ft depending on locations of existing healthy trees.

PHASE 2
- involves widening to a constant width of 8-ft as trees die out or as parcels redevelop.

The proposed improvements require the acquisition of permanent sidewalk and lighting easements and temporary construction easements along the route from multiple property owners. The goal is to acquire enough permanent easement today for the implementation of Phase 2 in the future. The existing right-of-way is approx. back of sidewalk and the average depth of permanent easement needed per parcel is approx. 4-ft. The average depth of temporary construction easement needed per parcel is approx. 5-ft.
