A plan to make Denver a world-class biking city.
"In the early days of the pandemic, driven by a fairly acute need for more public spaces, because the parks were completely overrun and people were desperate to find places to get outside and move their bodies, DOTI created ten of what were, in effect, havens for walking, biking and rolling," Stopper points out."They did it very quickly, and they did it simply by using no-through-way traffic signs on ten residential streets.
Over time, the Shared Streets concept was allowed to lapse. But in July, DOTI decided to explore the possibility of formalizing the corridors on a long-term basis, and sent out surveys. The first public meeting on the idea is scheduled for this month, with a goal of presenting draft recommendations with priority shared-street locations during the first quarter of 2023.
Conventional bike-infrastructure methods"are very slow, very expensive and highly polarizing," he continues."It can take years and years to produce a network that way. The ingredients we already have provide a clear path to a complete network much sooner. But the city has to say it's a go. That's kind of foundational."
DOTI's Lacayo emphasizes that"neighborhood bikeways run along local streets and are important in creating and connecting a complete bike network in Denver. Neighborhood bikeways are essentially shared streets that focus on biking. We use treatments such as traffic circles and soon we’ll be piloting speed humps to divert vehicles and slow them down to create a more comfortable and attractive environment for biking.
