South Boulder Road Multimodal Improvement Project

The City of Lafayette’s South Boulder Road Multimodal Improvements Project is complete. This Project included improvements to South Boulder Road, between the Saratoga/Merlin Drive intersection and 120th Street, with minor work on City Center Circle and on 120th Street, between approximately Eastwind Drive and Coal Creek, and enhanced safety and multimodal travel for all users along this corridor.

Project improvements:

• South Boulder Road from the Saratoga/Merlin Drive intersection to 120th Street accommodates a center turn lane, bike lanes, and a new 6-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side of South Boulder Road.
  
  
• A new multi-use path (10-foot-wide sidewalk) was constructed along the south side of South Boulder Road from the Saratoga/Merlin Drive intersection to 120th Street to improve multimodal connectivity to Alicia Sanchez Elementary School.
  1. In addition, intermittent sidewalk improvements were also made along City Center Circle from South Boulder Road to the RTD Park-n-Ride.
     
     
• The LaMont Does Park parking lot was reconstructed.
  
  
• Overhead power lines along South Boulder Road were buried.
  
  
• A new signalized intersection at South Boulder Road and 120th Street was built, and 120th Street was widened at this intersection.
