Phase 5: 12th Avenue/Wadsworth Boulevard Water Quality Pond
This phase constructed a new water quality extended detention basin (pond) at the southeast quadrant of Wadsworth Boulevard and 12th Avenue in Summer 2025. Water quality ponds are shallow depressions designed to protect the environment by filtering pollutants from stormwater runoff before the runoff enters adjacent waterways. The pond is located on CDOT property adjacent to City of Lakewood's Two Creeks Park.
- The new six-foot-deep water quality pond was planned in conjunction with the US 6/Wadsworth Boulevard interchange improvements and is located in the southeast corner of 12th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
- The project included improved pedestrian and bicycle access to provide connectivity to Two Creeks Park.
- The existing sidewalk along the east side of Wadsworth Boulevard between 10th Avenue and 12th Avenue remains.
- The City of Lakewood Two Creeks Park is adjacent to the water quality pond, in the area east of Wadsworth Boulevard between 10th Avenue and 12th Avenue.
