Background
In fall 2024, the City of Golden completed construction of a new sidewalk along Mt. Zion Drive and Pinal Road. This long-planned improvement addresses key gaps in the city’s sidewalk network and supports better accessibility and pedestrian safety—priorities raised by many residents over the years.
Work Completed
To make room for the new sidewalk, a portion of Pinal Road was converted to one-way traffic, and a section of Mt. Zion Drive was slightly narrowed. As part of the project, the City committed to monitoring traffic patterns through the narrowed section to ensure vehicles can continue to pass safely in both directions. Observations so far show that drivers are successfully navigating the area without conflict (see traffic cam images on the right to see interactions between vehicles successfully passing each other through the narrow section).
Additional safety enhancements include new NO PARKING signs and a striped centerline from the Mt. Zion Drive and 19th Street intersection extending approximately 400 feet to the northwest. Ongoing sign and striping maintenance, along with snow removal, have been added to the Streets Department’s regular responsibilities.
