The City and County of Denver is excited to announce that the Cherry Creek and Speer Boulevard Vision and Reconfiguration Feasibility Study is underway. The study is taking a close look at one of Denver’s most important corridors, Speer Boulevard and the Cherry Creek trail between Colfax Avenue and I-25. This study aims to develop a realistic vision, vetted for technical and financial feasibility, to improve how people move through and experience this area. With thoughtful planning, the corridor can better serve residents and visitors through upgraded public spaces and activities, improved safety and pedestrian experiences, expanded places for people to enjoy Cherry Creek and the trail, and improved connections to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

This study will also include community and stakeholder engagement to inform the design and engineering analysis and ensure that the vision for the corridor reflects the needs of those who live by and utilize the corridor.

This is not a construction project. This is an opportunity to conduct a preliminary analysis and solicit public feedback to create a holistic and realistic vision for a future project.
