Reed Avenue Rail Corridor
Reed Avenue Rail Corridor
The Reed Avenue Corridor Plan envisions transforming Reed Avenue into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly corridor that supports economic development and multimodal transportation. The plan focuses on infrastructure improvements, streetscape enhancements, and connectivity to revitalize the area while preserving its historic character.
The Reed Avenue Corridor Project aims to convert the Reed Avenue right of way in Cheyenne’s West Edge into a public space that would provide safe pedestrian and bicycle access, gathering and event space, and economic development opportunities, all while celebrating the history of the corridor. The BNSF railroad track would still exist and would be separated from the public space on the corridor.
The project area follows Reed Avenue from 15th Street to 23rd Street and includes some blocks on either side of the corridor.
Project Status
The Reed Avenue Corridor Project is currently in the design stage following an RFP process in early 2023. Utility locates within the corridor took place in 2023 and 2024. Final design is expected by late 2024 or early 2025.
Current work on Reed is funded in part by the current 6th Penny sales tax, which was approved by voters in 2021.
The City will need to secure funding for the construction of the project and continues to work with BNSF on the project.
