This project included the design of two miles of protected bike lanes in each direction of Green Valley Ranch Boulevard between Tower Road and Picadilly Road. The project used 12 feet of excess pavement in each direction of the roadway to install protected bike lanes as identified in the Denver Moves Bicycle plan and the Denver Go Bond program. This project also addressed transit and pedestrian access by developing compatible design elements at pedestrian crossings and bus stops. The project was completed using pavement marking paint and vertical posts, avoiding the need for high-cost reconstruction.

Muller’s scope included managing and coordinating the project through City staff. We helped with public outreach by coordinating arrangements for two public open house meetings and a Registered Neighborhood Organization meeting. Muller staff led the presentations at the public meetings and provided graphic support through PowerPoint presentations, roll plot graphics, and project information boards. Other work included preparing base maps, collecting traffic data for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, obtaining RTD passenger data, confirming field conditions through measurements and photography, and conducting an inventory of on-street parking. The final deliverable was a set of construction bid documents for the new protected bicycle lanes.
