Colfax Mayfair BID: October 2024 Business News
Colfax Mayfair BID Business and Property Owners:
You may have heard the news—the Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project has broken ground! This $280 million project will transform Colfax from a gritty, high-speed thoroughfare into a more attractive main street that is easier and safer for everyone to get around. Construction will occur in phases, starting at Broadway and moving east, with completion expected in late 2027.
Construction is not scheduled to start in our district until fall 2025 and will take about a year, moving a few blocks at a time.
During construction:
- One lane of traffic in each direction will remain open on Colfax
- Access to businesses will be maintained
- Side streets will remain open
- Due to BID advocacy, our district will also get new street trees, pedestrian scale light poles, trash cans, and bike racks. These placemaking elements will make our main street and town center safer and more welcoming for customers.
