Come see planned Pearl Parkway improvements next Tuesday
Oct 20th
Recent redevelopment initiatives in the Boulder Junction area of Pearl and 30th streets have presented an opportunity to develop improvements along Pearl Parkway that are pedestrian friendly and multimodal, integrate on-street parking and create an enhanced sense of place that is supportive of the future mixed-use development pattern of the adjacent area. The city is interested in a new pilot street design at Pearl Parkway that would contribute to making a special place.
