Does the Town plan to improve Hwy 86, Ridge Road, and Fifth Street to allow the Four Corners intersection to operate well?

Additional analysis was conducted to determine the length of lanes and widening needed in all directions from the intersection with this project. In addition, the Town plans to widen Fifth Street to the east from this intersection to Gilbert Street as a separate project in 2023. Ridge Road is currently under construction to widen to a full four-lane roadway from the traffic signal at the King Soopers entrance, south to Plum Creek Parkway. Both the Fifth Street and Ridge Road widening projects include bike lanes. Widening of Founders Parkway to the north of the intersection is also included in the Douglas County Transportation Plan.
