The City has been working since early 2018 on the installation of the traffic signal, and the project is now under construction. The City recently appointed Golden -based GoodLand Construction to undertake the improvements at the intersection of State Highway 42 and Short Street. Construction began in October, and will continue through the winter and spring. The project is scheduled for completion in spring/summer 2020. The construction will require the lanes on SH42 and Short Street to be shifted at various points although no complete lane closures are anticipated. The improvements include medians, new curb and gutter, sidewalks and pedestrian crossing access, signal posts, arms and heads, utility location/relocation, and signage. Below is a design schematic of the intersection improvements that will be installed. Nda. Taiderte isvpreinr ly lS hpmNe P. barn IM10 SHORT STREET SIGNAL PHASING L. SIGNS ❑7 ❑3 1 OS' MV M. MA
