Dublin/Academy Intersection Improvements Project Description: The Dubin Boulevard and Academy Boulevard intersection configuration doesn't meet current design standards and has been a high accident location. In 2004, the City applied for and received a competative, federally-funded Hazard Elimination and Safety grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Project design is almost done with right-of-way purchases still pending. Benefits of the finished project will include improved safety for vehicles and pedestrians, better traffic flow, and reduced congestion. Click here to view the construction plan overview.
