In 2009, the City of Loveland Public Works Department developed the conceptual plan for the Heart Improvement Plan (HIP Streets), which explored opportunities to enhance the streets within the historic core of Downtown Loveland. In 2017, after gathering public input, the plan was modernized to include a thoughtful and cost-effective approach to revitalizing 19 core blocks of Downtown Loveland.

The first phase of the Heart Improvement Plan – the 4th Street Revitalization – addresses the five blocks along 4th Street that extend from Garfield Avenue to Washington Avenue. The current effort is focused on improving 4th Street through streetscape enhancements, while the City of Loveland Water and Power Department works on upgrades to the utility infrastructure beneath the road. As this project is a significant effort, the City of Loveland and the Loveland Downtown Development Authority (DDA) have come together to finally bring this portion of the Heart Improvement Plan to fruition. We’re excited to reimagine our Downtown and it all starts with 4th Street.

Our project team is composed of local industry professionals who understand the importance of these improvements and are committed to making this a project our community can be proud of while embracing our historic core and creating a vibrant space that highlights our artistic community.

Project Vision

Create a functional, aesthetically pleasing, eclectic Downtown environment that facilitates business vitality, fosters a sense of community, and accentuates the identity of the Downtown commercial district.

Incorporate streetscaping as part of an existing major infrastructure project to minimize business impact and improve the built environment.

Project Impacts

By late February 2025, the City of Loveland aims to begin construction, starting with underground water and stormwater utility improvements. Once infrastructure improvements are complete, the City of Loveland will focus on surface improvements determined by the streetscape design. Between utility and streetscape improvements, each block is anticipated to take six to eight months to construct.

Pedestrian access to 4th Street businesses will remain open throughout the project, however, the road will be closed to vehicular traffic. Visitors can access the corridor by parking in lots along 5th Street and by using other nearby designated on-street parking. Visit the downtown parking webpage for a map of available parking options.
