38th Avenue 'refresh' could bring new look to Wheat Ridge's main street corridor

Wheat Ridge city leaders are advancing preliminary plans for a $10 million 'refresh' of West 38th Avenue, focusing on multimodal paths, tree planting, lighting, and traffic improvements. The project, funded by the 2J sales tax extension approved in 2023, has drawn mixed community reactions, with business owners like Jeff Hurlburt of Clancy's Irish Pub supporting it while residents like Guy Nahmiach express concerns about construction impacts.
