Broomfield may benefit from road and sidewalk improvements in the coming months, following the City Council’s decision to approve two public works projects on Tuesday. The city is in the beginning stages of projects that aim to preserve Broomfield’s streets and replace city-owned concrete structures. Construction is planned to begin this summer.
The first project is a street pavement preservation program that which will repair and protect streets against future damage. Streets identified as being in need of rehabilitation will undergo chip sealing and other repairs. Then, streets throughout Broomfield will be coated with protective seal coating designed to postpone the need for future repairs. Over 150 streets have been pointed out as being in need of repair, many of which are in Broomfield’s Redleaf neighborhood. As indicated in the current plans, 24.5 miles of road will be sealed.
The city is also looking at plans to revamp Broomfield’s sidewalks with a concrete replacement project. As part of this project, homeowners can apply to have sidewalks adjacent to their property repaired, with the city paying for 75% of the construction costs. The project targets both city- and privately owned concrete structures in need of repair.
Both projects are now open to bids from contractors following the City Council’s preliminary approval.
