Wildlife Crossing Public Meeting
You are invited to a public meeting to discuss wildlife crossings on US 6.
The meeting is tomorrow - Wednesday, April 24 starting at 6 p.m. at Fossil Trace Golf Club, 3050 Illinois St., Golden.
CDOT is concerned about the high number of large animal vs. auto accidents on US 6 between 19th Street and Heritage Road. In 2010, they constructed wildlife fencing to try to limit crossing areas and provide for a safer environment for drivers. Large animal collisions cause a substantial portion of the injury accidents along the foothills. CDOT is looking to do a more expansive project to improve driver safety by providing a wildlife crossing where the animals go either over or under US 6. Tomorrow night's meeting is designed to get citizen feedback on alternatives to separate the animals from the motorists. The City of Golden will also be soliciting feedback soon on our
Guiding Golden site. Watch for that in the next few days.
Keep reading for more happening in Golden, and h
ave a great week!

Washington Complete Street Project
Concrete Works of Colorado has placed all of the bike lanes and parking lanes on the east side of Washington, as well as most of the curb returns to side streets. City Engineering staff and Concrete Works are preparing to move to the next and final phase of the project, which is the reconfiguration of the ramps at Hwy 58.
Diamond Contracting has begun work on the water main replacement, required because of the recently uncovered corroded pipe. They will minimize the impact to the recently placed streetscape. This work is expected to take three weeks to complete.
Landscaping and lighting work will continue in all phases of the project through the end of June.
Find more details on the project at GuidingGolden.com.
