The 71st Avenue project upgraded 1.2 miles of existing rural road to a minor urban arterial complete street. Due to its residential nature, Greeley desired a multimodal corridor even in areas of restricted right-of-way. The new road includes two 11-foot through lanes and a six-foot median with on-street bike lanes and detached eight-foot-wide shared use paths on both sides. Intersections along the corridor were improved with left and right turn lanes and a new signal installed at 16th Street. As prime consultant, Muller designed the street improvements, multi-use paths, bike lanes, irrigation, waterlines, and storm drain system, and worked with property owners to mitigate the impacts on adjacent properties, including retaining walls. We aligned the multi-use path to save large cottonwood trees along the west side of the corridor and coordinated with the electric company to relocate a major overhead utility line along the east side of the roadway. Our team also prepared plans to relocate 260 feet of 30-inch pressure class 250 ductile waterline with restrained joints for Greeley Water and Sewer Department. The relocation was required due to a vertical cut that was necessary to improve the vertical roadway geometry and the resulting shallow cover of the water line. Because of its size, Greeley Water and Sewer wanted to keep the waterline in its current horizontal location to avoid bends in the pipeline that would result in less efficient flow. Trail design included a connection between the Sheep Draw and Triple Creek trails, along with an underpass at the new Sheep Draw bridge. The Muller team provided landscape and irrigation services for the corridor, along with aesthetic treatments for retaining walls.
