“25th has always been our Main Street for small businesses,” says Edgewater City Manager Dan Maples. “But I think this new infrastructure really highlights them, and it gives you the ability to enjoy all those businesses and the street itself, as a pedestrian or as a cyclist.” Edgewater began considering what to do with West 25th Avenue in 2019, when the city created a new Traffic Calming and Mobility Plan, which found that the street needed traffic reduction because of the high number of pedestrians and cyclists there.
The city tested out traffic circles for the community and the West Metro Fire District before determining they wouldn’t work. Traditional intersections were chosen after a drone was used to map the street's turning radius, according to theMaples credits Kit Lammers, community services director for Edgewater, for seeing the street and its businesses through the long process and ayear-over-year, but the last month has been the hardest, she says.
