Workers begin smoothing the concrete expansion of the Tejon St. sidewalk

Construction of the Tejon Street Revitalization Project – to enhance outdoor dining space, sidewalk accessibility and public safety – has completed much of Block 1 (Colorado Avenue to Pikes Pak Avenue.) Crews have now moved into Block 2 (Pikes Peak Avenue to Kiowa Street) to begin widening patio space and sidewalks.

All the businesses are open during their regular hours, and crews are providing access via new sidewalks in some places, along with a network of aluminum bridges and railings. Come down and see the progress! 

Expected traffic impacts

  • Northbound and southbound Tejon Street on Block 1 have reopened and diagonal parking has returned with parking kiosks replacing individual meters.
  • On Block 2, Tejon Street in both directions is closed to protect public safety and expedite the progress. In addition, the traffic signals at Pikes Peak and Tejon are being replaced, so the intersection is an all-way stop (with stop signs) until further notice.
  • Block 2 is home to many night spots, where the volume of patrons accessing the street at once requires creation of large safety zones. Closure of both directions of Tejon also is expected to expedite construction on the second block. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout construction. 

Relocation of commercial deliveries

At completion, Tejon Street will have a northbound and southbound lane, but the center tune lane will be removed to keep delivery trucks and their drivers out of traffic lanes. Commercial deliveries have moved to alleys and new loading zones on Colorado and Pikes Peak Avenues.
