The Denver Business Journal has not exactly embraced the whole 21st century urban transportation thing, but it turns out many of its online readers do.
Denver Public Works crews began installing a protected bike lane on West 14th Avenue this week, the first new protected bikeway of 2017. It should be ready to ride by next week. The bikeway, which replaces a standard, striped bike lane, will run for a half-mile between Speer Boulevard and Bannock Street — or about […]
Concrete curbs will stop cars from entering the bike lane, which DPW will paint tan to further distinguish it. Parked cars (as well as a bike corral and a B-Cycle station) will add extra protection from traffic.
Next steps include extending the bike lane to the Cherry Creek Trail, making the rush-hour bus lanes on Broadway and part of Lincoln a transit-only lane around the clock, and improving crosswalks.
A new coalition of transportation advocates wants to combat the Hancock administration's habit of shorting biking and walking infrastructure while heaping taxpayer funds on road expansions.
