The draft Sheridan Station Area Plan documents the result of many months of work with community stakeholders. Inside you will find draft plan concepts and recommendations that were developed through a series of public workshops and meetings held last year.
Below is a brief summary of the draft plan highlights:
Plan Goals:
- Support Colfax redevelopment
- Leverage Lakewood Dry Gulch as amenity
- Attract more mixed-income and market rate housing
- Create an attractive Sheridan Boulevard as the main north-south connector
- Enhance coordination with the City of Lakewood and regional partners
Plan Elements:
- Compact mixed-use residential near the station, along Sheridan Boulevard, and the edge of Lakewood Gulch -allow the most intense development at Colfax Avenue, near the station and along Sheridan Boulevard
- Encourage reinvestment to enhance the urban neighborhoods to the northeast and southeast
- Bring building fronts and entrances to the sidewalk
- Restore local street access at 13th Avenue and Sheridan
- Develop street frontages and better access to Lakewood Gulch
- Coordinate with Lakewood and CDOT on pedestrian, streetscape and roadway improvements to Sheridan Boulevard
- Develop north-south intersecting bicycle routes to the regional Lakewood Gulch Trail
