Wadsworth Boulevard Corridor Plan

In 1997, the City of Lakewood adopted the Wadsworth Boulevard Strategic Plan as an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Strategic Plan, which focused on Wadsworth Boulevard north of Mississippi Avenue, is similar to Strategic Plans the City has adopted for other major arterials in the City, including Sheridan Boulevard, North Kipling, and Mississippi Avenue. It has now been a decade since the Wadsworth Plan was adopted, and the City is revisiting the Plan to address changing conditions along the Corridor and to look at the Corridor south of Mississippi Avenue.

The Corridor Plan will be an advisory document that will be adopted as an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Plan will be a vision for what Wadsworth could look like in the future and will help staff and elected officials make decisions, based on what the community has said they desire for the Corridor, as properties develop or redevelop. The Plan will not identify, or make recommendations for acquiring, any specific properties for redevelopment. Also, the adoption of the Plan will not change the current zoning on any properties within the study area.

The study area boundaries for the Wadsworth Boulevard Corridor Plan include primarily the properties that front onto Wadsworth Boulevard, from 26th Avenue in the north to the southern City limits at Crestline Avenue. The Plan will consider transportation patterns and operations for a variety of travel modes along the corridor, as well as land use, urban design, streetscape, and economic development.

In order to create the Wadsworth Boulevard Corridor Plan, the City has convened an Advisory Committee of Council and Planning Commission members, representatives from neighboring jurisdictions, business owners, property owners, developers, neighborhood representatives, and interested citizens who will work with City Staff to develop the plan.
