Fifth Street Improvements project includes roadway capacity and operational improvements of Fifth Street from Gilbert Street to North Ridge Road, including pedestrian and bicycle facility additions. The project is located just East of downtown Castle Rock beginning at the intersection of Fifth Street & Gilbert Street and ending at the intersection of Fifth Street & North Ridge Road. Fifth Street is classified as a major arterial and functions as a regional roadway. Within the project limits, Fifth Street intersects with one state highway (SH-86), two major arterials (Woodlands Boulevard and North Ridge Road), 2 collector streets (Gilbert Street and Valley Drive) and multiple local roads and private accesses. The improvements implemented with this project include; road widening to accommodate the full build-out condition of a 4-lane major arterial, on-street bike lanes, intersection improvements at Woodlands Boulevard, intersection improvements at Valley Drive including traffic signal design, Multi-use path/sidewalk implementation, storm drainage improvements and water quality improvements. The project may receive federal funds through DRCOG for the construction phase thus all design and project clearances must be completed in compliance with CDOT and FHWA requirements.
