7th Avenue Improvements

05/01/2020

Crews started work today on the finishing touches of the 7th Avenue project. The contractor is remobilizing to install final landscaping elements at the 14th and 15th street intersections. During this period of work, crews will also repair sprinkler irrigation systems and landscape transitions to private property affected by this project. 

City officials and the project contractor want to say a big “thank you” to area residents for their patience and understanding with this project. Anyone with questions, comments, or concerns can contact the project manager, Andrew Fisher, at 970-350-9797.

Project Background

For about eight months in the summer and fall of 2019, rolling closures will move along 7th Avenue from 13th Street to 16th Street as the City replaces and upsizes the city’s stormwater, water distribution, and sanitary sewer systems.

The work also relocates several non-city utilities such as gas, electric and communication lines and replaces the asphalt road surface and concrete curb and gutter. This work takes place in conjunction with sanitary sewer replacements near 7th Avenue and 14th, 15th and 17th streets.
