Current Construction Projects

Midland Avenue Streetscape Project

In 2020, the Town’s Master Plan identified the Midland Avenue streetscape as a priority project that would ensure continued commercial vitality in Downtown. In November of 2021, the Basalt Forward 2030 initiative passed via citizen vote and authorized the Town to utilize bond proceeds to revitalize Midland Avenue’s streetscape and update utilities.

The design team will be working throughout 2022 to create concepts, gain community feedback, and produce construction documents. A detailed schedule of construction and impacts has yet to be developed but the Town expects construction to begin in early 2023, and possibly continue into 2024.

Further information on the Project can be found here on Let's Talk Basalt.

Basalt River Park - Town Owned Park

The Town has broken the Basalt River Park development into 2 phases. 

  • Phase 1 of the Park installation project included utility installation, grading, hardscape installation (concrete plaza), and temporary erosion control to close out the site for the winter and to prepare for the next phase. This phase was completed in 2021.
  • Phase 2 will include the finishing of the park with final landscaping, play and shade structures, and misting features. This phase was completed in 2022.
  • Phase 3 will include the construction of the restroom, bus top, and bandshell in the spring and summer of 2023.
