Paepcke Transit Hub Improvements on Main and Galena, a City of Aspen Project

Project Complete!

Paepcke Park is Aspen’s second busiest transit hub, with three bus stops as well as WE-cycle and Car-to-Go stations. The Paepcke Transit Hub Improvements Project seeks to improve safety for all users, enhance the function of existing services, and upgrade infrastructure to support emerging technology such as real-time digital signage for RFTA buses.

Work activities on the project include building a covered bus shelter, replacing utilities, including water lines, electrical, stormwater and installation of conduits for future communications utilities, and installing improved Main Street crossing for pedestrians.

Work Schedule

• Weather permitting, motorists can expect construction work on Main Street by Paepcke Park in Aspen Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., and intermittently on Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Traffic Impacts

• Traffic control plans include construction flaggers, vehicular lane shifts, and motorist, cyclist, and pedestrian detours.
