EAST 104TH AVENUE

EAST 104TH AVE. CORRIDOR VISION:

A coordinated corridor that better meets the needs of people linking with and traveling through the 104th Ave. with collaboration between jurisdictions, connected infrastructure, and compatible design.

Strategy CSP 5.1: Seek to build upon the corridor’s rural and parklike character as redevelopment and roadway improvements occur over time, with the safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicyclists considered a high priority.

Strategy CSP 5.2: Foster partnerships with adjacent municipalities on a land use vision for this corridor.

Strategy CSP 5.3: Coordinate with County departments to develop a variety of progressive stormwater facilities and restoration projects in this area, including a nature playground concept at the intersection of the South Platte River.

East 120th Avenue

Applicable Subarea Plans: Riverdale Road Corridor Plan (2005)

DESCRIPTION OF THE CORRIDOR:

Ea st 120th Street stretches between Riverdale Road to the west and Peoria Street to the east. Unlike 104th Ave., the East 120th Street corridor is comprised of primarily unincorporated areas with some intersection with Brighton and Commerce City to the eastern portion. The main entrance to the Riverdale Regional Park is on 120th Ave. and Riverdale Road. Access to the South Platte regional trail intersects the corridor. The street faces increased vehicle congestion due to its use as one of the few east-west connections over the South Platte. In the future, access from 124th Ave. to US 85 will be discontinued, which will result in increased demand and pressure on 120th Ave for the access at US 85.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS SINCE 2012 IMAGINE ADAMS PLAN:

1. Planned discontinued access to U.S. 85 from 124th Ave.

2. Riverdale Regional Park Master Plan (2018)

3. Improved trail connections to the South Platte River Trail

EAST 120TH AVE. CORRIDOR VISION:

A corridor that provides efficient east-west access, serving as the entrance to Riverdale Regional Park and the extensive trail system in the area and utilizes multiple strategies to reduce congestion and remove barriers to multi-modal connections along the corridor.
