This project is designed to enhance safety and connectivity for pedestrians at key railroad crossings throughout town. The upgrades will provide safer and more accessible routes for pedestrians, improving overall connectivity within Windsor's pedestrian network. These changes aim to make the community more walkable while addressing critical safety needs at railroad crossings.

The improvements will focus on adding sidewalks at several railroad crossings and nearby areas. New sidewalks will be constructed on the west side of 15th St., the south side of Main St., the west side of 1st St., and both crossings of CO 257 between the cemetery and Chestnut St. Additional sidewalks will connect key areas, including along the south side of Main St. from 1st to 3rd St., the west side of 1st St. from the rail crossing to Main St., and the west side of CO 257 from Walnut to Chestnut St.

The project includes installing pedestrian pathways at crossings and improving the connections between them. Railroad panels will be added to ensure sidewalks provide safe and smooth passage over the tracks. Other work will include drainage improvements and relocating utility pedestals and streetlights to accommodate the new infrastructure.

Additional Details

The goal is to complete the sidewalk connection on 15th St before the middle school opens in the fall. However, if the necessary agreements are not in place, construction could be delayed. Since improvements are also being made at other railroad crossings in town, we will need to coordinate with the railroad contractor’s schedule.
