Completed Projects

To improve safety and traffic efficiency at the 23rd Avenue / 34th Street intersection, the installation of a four-way traffic signal and four associated pedestrian poles was determined the best course of action for the City to take. This intersection is in the immediate vicinity of two elementary schools and lies in the heart of one of the City's primary commercial corridors.

In 2024, the City contracted Benesch to complete the engineering design for the installation of the signal and the City subsequently worked to procure long lead items necessary for construction. Consistent with the City's competitive bid process, bids were solicited on March 20, 2025. Seven contractors submitted valid bids with Lumin8 Transportation Technologies offering the low bid. Along with the low bid, the City has enjoyed a successful relationship with Lumin8 and the firm has completed several projects in satisfactory fashion for the City in the past. The City Council approved the bid unanimously at the May 6, 2025 regular meeting. 

This project was completed in early September of 2025. 

In 2025, the Evans City Council chose to use funds generated by The Road Ahead 1% sales and use tax to complete three large-scale projects that would provide considerable public benefit. The 2025 major roads projects involved the mill and overlay of both 17th and 23rd Avenues between 32nd and 37th Streets and the full-depth reconstruction of 42nd Street / Prairie View Drive from 35th Avenue to 23rd Avenue.

It was decided that after many minor repairs had been made on collector and neighborhood streets all across the city since the inception of The Road Ahead 1% tax, that upgrades to three of the city’s principal arterial thoroughfares would provide lasting impact on some of Evans’ busiest streets, help attract and retain businesses, and contribute to improving the overall quality of life in the city.

Work began in late April 2025 with concrete replacement work on the shoulders and adjacent sidewalks of 17th Avenue. During the first week of May, the process began to mill & overlay 17th Avenue; work was completed on May 16. A nearly identical process was used on 23rd Avenue, with work on that roadway being completed in early June. 

The full-depth reconstruction of 42nd Street / Prairie View Drive was a more complex project that took considerably longer to complete. The project required the removal of the decaying asphalt surface as well as the road base, and rehabilitation of the subgrade. Concrete work along the center median and curb and gutter areas was also completed. A new road base and asphalt surface was poured. Work wrapped up on this project in early November 2025. 

In planning for these 2025 projects, $5,000,000 was initially budgeted for the work on 17th and 23rd Avenues and 42nd Street. After soliciting bids, the Evans City Council voted to approve a contract with Martin Marietta on Jan. 21, 2025 for a not-to-exceed amount of $4,105,300. In line with the city’s new procurement policies, a subsequent contract with RockSol Consulting Group for $163,462.06 to serve as construction manager for the projects was approved on March 4, 2025. After approval of these contracts, the city had $731,237.94 remaining in the budget for 2025 Major Roads Projects, that amount will be carried forward into 2026 for further work on major segments of the city's surface transportation network. 

The replacement of the aging and obsolete equipment at Renaissance Park - located at 3501 Sienna Avenue in the Tuscany subdivision - had been in the planning stages for the last couple of years. As part of the commitment to furthering the evolution of Evans into a community of choice, improvements at our city parks and public spaces is a high priority. 

In late 2024 and early 2025, city staff solicited quotes and design proposals for qualified vendors. Following review of the submitted proposals, the city selected GameTime Altitude based on the firm's proven record, responsiveness, and successful past projects in Evans. 

GameTime Altitude presented several different design concepts to the Evans Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, who reviewed the proposals and made a recommendation to the city council. On June 3, 2025, the city council approved the design proposal that was recommended from the advisory board. 

This project had a budget of $750,000 for the new playground equipment, pour-in-place soft surface, the removal of the old playground components, and installation of the new equipment. The funds for this project came from the city's Conservation Trust Fund, which derives its balance from proceeds from the Colorado Lottery that are disbursed by the State of Colorado to municipalities for parks, open space, and conservation projects. 

The old playground was disassembled in August 2025 and the city will attempt to sell the components at auction. The project was completed in November 2025 and an official ribbon cutting ceremony led by Evans Mayor Mark Clark and Councilmen Jeff Crabtree and Chris Delaney took place on Nov. 19. 

As Evans continues to invest in parks and public spaces - aiming to improve quality of life and foster community connectedness - another milestone was reached in 2025 with the completion of Hunter's Reserve Park at 3800 29th Avenue. This project transformed what was an empty field next to a stormwater detention pond into an active neighborhood park complete with a small playground, walking trail, picnic pavilion, and large open lawn space. 

This project got underway on May 7, 2024 when the Evans City Council selected a proposal from BrightView Landscape Development to develop the formerly vacant space into a public park. At the March 18, 2025 Evans City Council meeting, unanimous approval was given to the final design concept and associated contract with BrightView for a not-to-exceed amount of $817,391.66. 

This project was funded by Park Impact Fees - fees paid by new development to supplement increased demand for public services caused by population increases - and construction began in May 2025. The project was completed in October 2025. 

Work for the 2024 Asphalt Reconstruction Project consists of (4) four separate projects.

The first project will be a full asphalt reconstruction of 15th Avenue from 37^th Street to 34^th Street, the second project will be a full asphalt reconstruction of 41^st Street from Belmont Avenue to 17^th Avenue, the third project will be a full asphalt reconstruction of 41^st Street Road from Belmont Avenue to 17^th Avenue. The fourth project additional alternate No. 1 will consist of a full asphalt reconstruction of a section of Heather Lane from Phlox Lane to Primrose Lane.

Geotextile Grid is included in the contract in the event unstable sub-grade material is encountered. All QC (Quality Control) testing is to be considered inclusive of costs for compaction of each respective layer of street section whether it is asphalt, base material, fly-ash or earthen in nature. Traffic control is broken out as a separate line item and not included in the mobilization costs.

2024 Concrete Replacement - The 2024 concrete replacement project consists of removal and replacement of concrete curb & gutter, sidewalk, driveway, cross pans, aprons, and ADA ramps in locations designated by the City’s Project Manager. Sub-grade repair may be necessary at some locations. The Project Manager will treat each replacement site on a case-by-case basis to determine the best method to correct the unacceptable sub-grade conditions.
