Denver proposal would extend design work for six Alameda and Colorado Boulevard traffic signals

A proposed Denver amendment would extend Stanley Consultants’ design agreement for six existing traffic signals along Alameda Avenue and Colorado Boulevard through Oct. 12, 2027, without adding money to the $1,019,845.73 contract. Available records do not show final City Council enactment or detailed plans for the intersections.

The signals are at Alameda Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard; Alameda and Federal Boulevard; Alameda and Colorado Boulevard; and Colorado Boulevard at 35th Avenue, Bruce Randolph Avenue and 26th Avenue. The scope also includes right-of-way plans for 10 parcels and intersection redesign work at Alameda and Sheridan, according to the amendatory agreement.

The agreement describes the work generally as redesigning or reconstructing the signals. The reviewed records do not specify new lanes, turn movements, signal timing, pedestrian crossings, curb ramps, accessible pedestrian signals, detection equipment or other specific safety, traffic-operation or accessibility treatments. Those details may be in design documents not included in the records.

The resolution, CR26-1174, received consent approval from Denver City Council’s Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Aug. 26. It also contains a Mayor-Council approval entry dated Sept. 1. However, the official Legistar matter record still lists the resolution as “Approval Review” and shows no final-action date.

The committee meeting record documents the committee’s consent approval but not full-Council passage. The Sept. 1 Mayor-Council agenda says that meeting was canceled and does not document a vote. As of Sept. 3, the records establish committee action and a filed Mayor-Council approval entry, but not final enactment, signatures, publication or execution of the amendment.
