9-Mile Pedestrian Bridge

The city is leading design and construction work on a pedestrian bridge over Parker Road near Interstate 225 to connect the RTD Nine Mile Station with homes and businesses on the north side of Parker Road. The bridge will provide improved regional multi-modal connectivity, enable people to cross safely over Parker Road and improve traffic flow along this major metro-area corridor. Initial federal funding awarded in 2019 has enabled this long-desired project to move forward. Community members provided input into the enhancements and the results integrate the color palette and environment of the prairie with Aurora’s diverse populations represented through several languages.

Badger Gulch Park at Ridgegate

Badger Gulch Park, spanning 3.36 acres, is poised to become a serene yet vibrant natural gathering place on the east side of RidgeGate. It will be situated in the RidgeGate Village Center, where RidgeGate Parkway splits into one-way streets. This park will be a focal point for the community, accessible via an iconic pedestrian bridge that connects both sides of the park, providing access to the Badger Gulch regional trail, as well as connections to the nearby residential communities of Lyric at RidgeGate™ and the future South East Village.

Residents, especially those from the forthcoming senior housing community, will enjoy an array of amenities designed for relaxation and recreation. The park will feature a pavilion, picnic tables, a restroom, a showcase garden, fitness equipment, children’s play areas, and an inspiring public art installation, creating a lively and inclusive environment for all.

With generous support from the Rampart Range Metropolitan District, Badger Gulch Park will not only provide a beautiful space for leisure but also play a crucial role in preserving the local natural habitat for years to come.
