Like much of Eagle County, Avon has dealt with challenges regulating the speed at which travelers — namely, bikers — move on its paved pedestrian paths. This summer, the town will take a new tactic to encourage people to slow down. Instead of the dismount zones the town has employed for the last two summers in Harry A. Nottingham Park, which ask cyclists to dismount and walk their bikes for a stretch on the north side of the park, the town will implement a number of slow zones.

Avon has been trying to make U.S. Highway 6 safer for pedestrians for over a decade. The culmination of this work — a project that will include a traffic light at Stonebridge Drive and four lighted pedestrian crossings, set to begin construction in June — has been injured by the state legislature’s cuts to transportation funding. Eva Wilson, Avon’s engineering director, presented on the changes to the project’s budget to the Town Council Tuesday. Highway 6 has long been unsafe for pedestrians.
