To accommodate all the new mega-projects going up to the east, Arapahoe and Adams county will spend hundreds of millions on building new 6-lane boulevards. (Technically, in the Denver area, boulevards are north-south and avenues are east-west, but I am ignoring the distinction here). This is what the area will look like in 2034, if everything goes according to plan.
East-West In Adams County:
64th Avenue: Tower to Himalaya (6 lanes); Himalaya to Monaghan (4 lanes)
56th Avenue: Pena Blvd to Imboden (6 lanes)
48th Ave: Picadilly to Quail Run (6 lanes)
East-West In Arapahoe County:
6th Avenue: Airport Blvd to Harvest Mile (6 lanes)
Jewell: Himalaya to Harvest Mile (6 lanes)
Quincy: Plains Parkway to Watkins Rd (6 lanes)
North-South:
Tower Rd: 6th Ave to 105th Ave (6 lanes)
Picadilly: 6th Ave to 120th (6 lanes); Jewell to 6th Ave (4 lanes)
Gun Club: Quincy to Mississippi (6 lanes)
Harvest/Harvest Mile: Jewell to 64th (6 lanes)
Powhaton: none
Monaghan: Quincy to Yale (6 lanes)
Watkins Rd: Quincy to I-70 (6 lanes)
Imboden: 48th to 56th (6 lanes)
Quail Run: I-70 to 48th (6 lanes)

In a future post, I will make a map of these to visualize them better.
6 lanes is very wide for a boulevard. I think I-70 is only 4 lanes east of Pena Blvd.
