The Cities of Wheat Ridge and Lakewood both engage in annual pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing projects. 26th Avenue serves as a common boundary between the two cities, between Wadsworth Boulevard and Pierce Street. In such instances where more than one municipality shares a common boundary or street, it has consistently proven more cost effective and less disruptive if a single project is performed by a single entity, rather than each individual city conducting its own project. This intergovernmental agreement (IGA) provides for the street resurfacing to be administered by the City of Lakewood with the City of Wheat Ridge compensating Lakewood for its appropriate share of the project costs. Such arrangement has occurred on 26th Avenue in the past and the Cities have alternated being the lead agency.
