Over the past two decades, Mark Gurzhiev of Solomon’s Grocery & European Deli has seen a lot of changes on the Havana Street Corridor in Aurora, some for the better and some for the worse.
After multiple rounds of public and private input in 2020 and 2021, the corridor study resulted in 73 recommendations for improvements, such as adding lighting and ADA improvements at bus stops, widening and connecting sidewalks, creating curb extensions, raising medians and creating six neighborhood bikeways.
Like Gurzhiev, Rose Lee has seen a significant number of car crashes in the area and she thinks the sidewalks along Havana Street could use some repairs and connectivity. She wants to see increased lighting on parts of the street and specified bike lanes, particularly as more people and traffic come to the corridor.
Parts of Havana Street are even in Denver, Horiuchi pointed out, so the focus is not only on those who live and work on Havana Street but also those who travel to the corridor. The work will likely go into 2030 – widening sidewalks alone was estimated to cost around $6.4 million – but the city and state are forging ahead with at least a few of the recommendations in the study. Maintenance for improvements is expected to be split among the city, the Havana Business Improvement District, property owners and RTD.
