Body
Summary and Background Information:
Rosemary Street was identified within the City of Commerce City’s Transportation Plan (2010) as a recommended candidate for highway widening in order to provide capacity improvements.

The typical roadway cross-section for Rosemary Street will be planned for two (2) through lanes (one in each direction) with a median turn lane with curb, gutter and sidewalks. There may be attached sidewalks on both the east and west side. The sidewalk may be detached where there is right-of-way available. In addition, an eight-foot wide detached multi-use trail on one side is to be included, if right-of-way is available.

The northern limits of the Project should be designe...
