The Planning Department, in collaboration with Public Works, is proposing several bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements along the Ford Street and Jackson Street corridors between 14th Street and 24th Street. In accordance with the adopted 2023 Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan, the City is proposing the following projects:
A protected bike lane on Ford Street between 14th & 24th
A protected bike lane on Jackson Street between 14th & 24th
Adding a raised four-way intersection at Jackson Street & 24th
Intersection improvements at Ford Street & 14th
Community Engagement Opportunities
Open House # 1:
Tuesday, June 18, 2024 (5:30 - 7:00 p.m.)
Ride Wrap: 1950 Ford St, Golden, CO 80401
The main purpose of this open house was for city staff to hear public feedback on the proposed design. Public feedback will be incorporated as the project moves through the design process. The City is currently working on developing the design plans for this project and is in the process of pursuing construction funding.
Future Public Engagement Opportunities
Open House #2 - December 2024: Discuss how feedback was incorporated from the first open house in the revised design.

The bike lane is still in early design, but the lane buffer will likely be a concrete barrier combined with a vertical flex post in between the concrete barriers.
East Street is classified as a Neighborhood Bikeway on the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and is a great option for people looking to bike along a quieter street. Ford and Jackson, however, parallel several businesses and destinations that people may be trying to bike to including Safeway, the High School, and people’s homes, so safe access is also needed on Ford and Jackson. Additionally, this project aims to improve both bicycle and pedestrian safety. We are looking at ways to reduce vehicle speeds on Ford and Jackson which will make it safer for all users of the corridor, not just bicyclists. These changes will benefit anyone who chooses to bike on East Street, but still needs to cross over Ford and Jackson to access downtown or other destinations.
Share Does the plan include eliminating the pedestrian beg buttons at Jackson St and 19th St and at Ford St and 19th St? The pedestrian signals at these intersections should come on with every cycle, eliminating the need for the buttons. If no pedestrian is there, traffic is not slowed. on FacebookShare Does the plan include eliminating the pedestrian beg buttons at Jackson St and 19th St and at Ford St and 19th St?

Thank you for your question! We plan to upgrade the signal at Jackson ST and 19th ST in the near future, but we will not be removing the pedestrian actuation buttons.
Share Vehicles on Jackson St at 17th St and 18th St already do not stop for pedestrians in the zebra crossings at 17th and 18th. The 17th St crossing once had a HAWK to help distract drivers from their phones long enough to stop for pedestrians, but the HAWK has been gone for years. Are we bringing it back?

The City is planning to install a new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at Jackson ST and 17th ST by the end of the year. There are no plans to add a RRFB at 18th ST at this time.
Share The plan seeks to balance pedestrians and bicyclists. What about alternative transportation devices like motorized scooters, electric bikes, etc?

This is a great question! The 2023 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan includes the following language regarding the use of electric bicycles: "Permit Class I/II/III e-bikes on all on-street bicycle facilities and shared use paths within the public right-of-way. Prohibit Class III e-bikes on unpaved trails and paths outside the public right-of-way." We do not have a specific policy for electric scooters; however, electric scooter riders should utilize the bike lanes and follow the same traffic laws that apply to cyclists.
