Stories of Places & Spaces NoCO

Walking on 57th street from Hwy 287 towards Lago Vista. Coming east from the light on 287, the sidewalk is great at first but it ends at the soon-to-be entrance of the building they are building on the corner.

​​This image is on the west side of 287 going south to 57th . This sidewalk is ok but could use a cement slab. Also it is not acceptable to handicapped.

These images are on the south side of 57th St. One has to go into the ditch per say to walk without being afraid, and if someone was handicapped it is inaccessible. 

These images are on the south side of 57th St. There is no room to walk comfortably or safely on this side of the street. 

Esta es otra foto donde se está construyendo el nuevo lugar de maquinaria y al dar la vuelta por la 57th, como se puede observar no tiene banqueta en la esquina, y se puede observar también donde los peatones caminan.

Esta es una foto del nuevo lugar de maquinaria que están construyendo atrás del parqueadero de Lago Vista, y no están poniendo ninguna banqueta. La maquinaria también es peligrosa sin banqueta para los niños y tanta gente que entra con máquinas y grandes vehículos.

Del lado sur antes de llegar a el parqueadero de Lago Vista mobile home park, no tiene banqueta y los ninos tienen que subir arriba del pasto para poder andar.

Esta foto de viniendo de la calle 37th a la 57th donde cruza también la avenida 287, que es considerada una de las avenidas más peligrosas, pues hay muchos accidentes.

Esta foto muestra la entrada a la 57 desde la carretera HWY 287. No hay banquetas y las personas tienen que caminar por el zacate. Para una persona en silla de ruedas no se podría. El trafico en esta área tiene mucha velocidad y hay accidentes diariamente.

“Se necesita una banqueta para ir a las tiendas porque nos pueden machucar.” (vecina de 13 años de edad)

No hay banqueta de ambos lados de la calle, y las personas necesitan caminar al bus o a Walmart. 

This picture is on the South side of 57th street that shows no sidewalk and a dirt path. If you’re on a wheel chair or stroller you can’t walk safely and I see people walking on this dirt path every day. There is also no sidewalk on the north side of 57th. 

This photo shows an open area to the east of Alpine Vista Mobile Home Park where a trail could possibly be constructed. Lago Vista residents need access to the public bike path which leads to the WalMart shopping area.  Perhaps there is a way to create a path to the east or west of Alpine Vista Mobile Home Park to allow residents to walk or ride to the Loveland bike path.

A crosswalk and light are needed to cross 57th from Lago Vista MHP towards Alpine Vista on the north side of 57th street.  Drivers speed at 40-45 MPH and it takes 100 feet for a car that is travelling at that speed to stop. We desperately need some safety measures to prevent any more accidents or deaths.

North side of 57th street walking west towards 287. I took this photo because of a concern for safety. Anyone at any time could break or sprain their leg or ankle. I would like to see a concrete sidewalk ASAP.

Neither the north nor the south side of east 57th street has a sidewalk for families to walk on safely. Neighbors using a wheelchair, walker, stroller or grocery cart would find it nearly impossible to travel to and from 287.

Bus stop on Hwy 287, north of the intersection with 57th street, in Loveland. The only way to reach it is through this dirt path… what appears to be a road shoulder is actually the merge lane, where cars speed up to merge onto Hwy 287.
