PROJECTS

We have helped our clients implement hundreds of projects, from large national and regional projects and programs to small, locally important initiatives. Here are some highlights of a couple of current projects :

I-270 Improvements Project

Peak is leading the consultant team for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will develop and analyze options for improving traffic and transit operations on the I-270 corridor; fixing deteriorating bridges and pavement; improving freight, maintenance, and emergency response operations; and improving community connections to transportation, recreation, and services.

Peak is facilitating an innovative community-centered bilingual planning process to engage stakeholders as thought-partners in developing, refining, and selecting the right solution for I-270 improvements. Stakeholder workshops began in February 2024 and will help CDOT and FHWA to better understand community values and visions for the project and surrounding neighborhoods. The stakeholder group will be engaged throughout the EIS process.

Colorado Front Range Passenger Rail

Peak staff have contributed to passenger rail development in Colorado for the past decade and are leading the pre-NEPA service development planning to integrate passenger rail into Colorado’s transportation network. Front Range Passenger Rail will connect Colorado's major population and employment centers. We are building on prior project development alternatives analysis, stakeholder engagement, environmental data collection, and agency coordination completed in 2020 for the Southwest Chief and Front Range Passenger Rail Commission, now the Front Range Passenger Rail District.

I-25 US 36 to 104th Avenue Improvements

Peak is a key member of the AtkinsRealis consultant team leading the NEPA process and analysis for traffic operations and safety improvements for 5 miles of Interstate 25 between US-36/I-270 to the south and 104th Avenue to the north. The project goals are to:

Improve transit and traffic operations and safety
Improve the transit experience at the existing Thornton Park-n-Ride
Maximize use of existing infrastructure
Minimize impacts to residents and neighboring communities
Improve bicycle and pedestrian connections

The project is a phase of improvements to I-25 north of Denver that CDOT has been working to implement since the 2011 I-25 North Record of Decision.

I-70 Mountain Corridor, Floyd Hill

For more than 15 years, Peak staff have been integral to developing
context-sensitive solutions to improve safety and mobility along the
I-70 Mountain Corridor between the Denver metro area and Glenwood
Springs. Peak, in partnership with AtkinsRealis, led the NEPA process for the I-70 Floyd Hill Project, conducting technical analyses and supporting a comprehensive Context Sensitive Solutions stakeholder process for this project. The transformative project will add a third westbound travel lane to eliminate the bottleneck of two-lane capacity between Floyd Hill and Idaho Springs, connect a missing section of the I-70 frontage road between Evergreen and Empire, and implement environmental enhancements for wildlife, air and water quality, stream conditions, and recreation.
