Sidewalk Upgrade on Edwards Boulevard Loop

We’re thrilled to announce that Edwards Metropolitan District has planned and is set to begin the repair and upgrade of the sidewalk along the Edwards Boulevard loop! Located adjacent to Edwards Village Boulevard and Homestead Drive, this project will replace the aging sidewalk with a brand-new, 6,000-linear-foot concrete walkway. The upgrade has been designed to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, enhancing the community’s ease of movement. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting enhancement!

New Sidewalk Project Welcomed

One of the newest and most used of the improvements completed by the Edwards Metropolitan District is more than a mile of new sidewalks throughout Edwards.

The $2 million project took two construction seasons to complete, said project manager Deron Dircksen, of SGM Engineering.

The new sidewalk replaces an old patchwork of sidewalks along Edwards Village Boulevard and Homestead Drive.

One of the most important elements in Dircksen’s view is the safety improvements installed near the Edwards Elementary.
They include safer crossings of Meile Lane, a fence and sidewalk on the east side of the school to help separate children and vehicles. Dircksen said the contractor, Gould Construction and the Metro District worked closely with the school district to resolve some of the safety issues at the school.

“Now a bike posse of kids can get to school safely” Dircksen said. All the improvements add to the safety for kids.”

On addition to the hard surfaces and some curb and gutter work some areas are being revegetated and reseeded he said.

Behind the scenes there was a lot of surveying, mapping and engineering that was done prior to construction beginning.
