Project Update | June 2021
Park and Midland Project Update:
Happy summer to all. Over the last several months, the City of Aspen Engineering Department has been designing the Schematic Design phase of the improvements to Park and Midland, focusing on the Conceptual Design of the sidewalk on the east side of the north portion of Park Avenue.
Design work includes:
- Improvement survey
- Initial topography
- Right-of-way review
- Sidewalk design
- Drainage considerations
-
Engineering Standards
The design team continues to work through the sidewalks' conceptual layout, including road widths, sidewalk widths, and grading. Unique conditions present design challenges that the project team is working through to determine the best solution for the Conceptual Design ahead of outreach meetings. Much of the summer will be spent designing improvements; in late August and September, we will be scheduling meetings with neighbors before presenting the conceptual plan to City Council in September.
The project team will continue to share updates through this email newsletter and on the project webpage.
As we get closer to determining specifics on the conceptual design solutions, we will connect individually with impacted neighbors. Thank you for your continued involvement, and please reach out with any questions.
Best regards,
Park and Midland Project Team
