City of Englewood, Colorado - The Cities of Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, and Denver, along with other regional partners, are inviting community members to participate in the Hampden Avenue Mobility & Safety Study (HAMSS) virtual public meeting on December 13, 2022, 6:00-7:00 pm MST on Zoom.
Participants will receive a status update on the project since the last corridor-wide held open house, in August. The focus will be on potential transportation improvements that will reduce congestion and improve safety between Lowell Boulevard and I-25. The project team will provide a brief presentation and conduct polling exercises with participants followed by a live Q&A session.
Your voice is essential in helping create a vision for the future of the Hampden Avenue (US 285) corridor. Please visit the HAMSS website for more information on the project and for instructions on how to join the virtual public meeting.
About the Project
Hampden Avenue (U.S. 285) is a critical element of the Colorado and the Denver metro area transportation network. The corridor has a long history of moving people and goods through and between the cities of Sheridan, Englewood, Cherry Hills Village and Denver, and provides essential commercial and regional access to the C-470 and I-25 corridors. The study will examine the corridor through the following four segments:
- Lowell Boulevard/Knox Court to Santa Fe Drive
- Santa Fe Drive to Gilpin Street
- Gilpin Street to Colorado Boulevard
- Colorado Boulevard to 1-25
What is the primary goal of the study?
The primary goal of the Hampden Ave Mobility & Safety Study is to identify a corridor vision that can be translated into both short-term and long-term improvements that address safety concerns and include proposed actions for reducing congestion, improving operational performance, and addressing future transportation needs and multimodal options within the defined Hampden Avenue corridor. The project also looks to preserve community character and seek ways to enhance community amenities and/or placemaking.
