Bike Path Map - (Ignore the maintenance facility on this map - I'm getting a revised map soon)The bike path along the West Corridor in Lakewood will be both an on-street and off-street configuration. The bike path will run parallel to the West Corridor along for the majority of the alignment. It will begin at Platte River Trail in Denver and continue west to Quail Street in Lakewood. A little more than half of the bike path through Lakewood will be a dedicated path, separate from the street. This portion features elevated crossings of Kipling and Wadsworth, on bridges adjacent to the light rail. The street portion of the bike path will be signed for bicycles but they will need to share the road with automobiles.
Sheridan to Harlan - Bike path separate from street, path south of alignment
Harlan to Newland - Separate bike path, adjacent to light rail, north side
Newland to Vance - On Street, north side
Vance to Dudley - Separate bike path, adjacent to light rail, north side
Dudley to Estes - On Street, north side
Estes to Garrison - On Street, south side
Garrison to Kipling - Separate bike path, adjacent to light rail, north side
Kipling to Oak - On Street, south side
Oak to Quail - On street, north side
The design team has worked to eliminate as many bicycle crossings crossing of the track as possible, but there are still four locations where bikes must cross the light rail tracks; at Harlan, Estes, Garrison and Oak Streets. At each of these crossings, the bike path will cross the tracks at street level, adjacent to automobile traffic. Throughout the year, bike path maintenance, including snow removal, crack filling and other general maintenance, will be done by the city where the bike path is located.
