Frequently Asked Questions

The intent is to have a future second phase continuing the widening of Federal Parkway to a four-lane roadway up to 128th Avenue. There are several reasons why the full widening project was split into two phases:

• Budget: The bridge over Big Dry Creek will need to be widened, which is a significant cost. Furthermore, the bridge itself is in good structural condition according to our biennial inspection reports.
• Right-of-Way: The City has the necessary right-of-way to construct the widening from 120th to 122nd. A road widening north of the bridge will require the City to acquire additional right-of-way. This will take time and additional funds.
• City Limits: Westminster's limits extend roughly to Willow Run Parkway. The remaining stretch of road north to 128th Avenue is within Broomfield's jurisdiction. There is the potential to partner with Broomfield to complete the road widening to 128th Avenue. That negotiation and agreement would take time as well.

Yes. There will be 5-foot bike lanes on both northbound and southbound lanes.

Yes. Streetlights will be installed along Federal Parkway to the south of the bridge. These street lights will have dimming capabilities, soft light color, and a dark sky rating. These features allow the City's traffic staff to find a balance between safety for the roadway users and lessening the impact on wildlife in the open space.
