The Colorado Department of Transportation continues to award Revitalizing Main Street grants to help communities improve their roadways and community infrastructure.
Poncha Springs has been awarded $135,000 for the construction of a pedestrian highway crossing across Highway 50 with a pedestrian refuge island so individuals can more easily cross the highway. The project will provide increased pedestrian safety by creating a connection between existing residential neighborhoods and newly established commercial developments.
Also benefitting from the Revitalizing Main Streets program: The City of Salida received $37,000 to enhance the F Street pedestrian mall and the Town of Buena Vista received $50,000 to install sidewalks along Highway 24.
The program is made possible through a $30 million allocation from the state legislature.
