Construction for the Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project is now underway between Broadway and Garfield Street.

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.

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.
