Odds are you have seen a horrific crash on one of your neighborhood streets. Denver’s roads are not safe. And 145 miles of new or improved bike lanes don’t seem to be helping, yet.
We have been heartened that most of the new bike lanes and shared street bike routes are going into much safer and more thoughtful roads — roads where traffic should already be going slow, where cyclists benefit from infrequent stops, and where the inconvenience to nearby residents will be low.
Some residents are already sounding the alarm about how ugly and confusing the plastic bollards are that now line some new bike lanes and push cars away from corners to make them take wider turns. Some street closures to create bikeways are affecting commutes. Heavily trafficked pedestrian thoroughfares create a vibrant city that feels more connected and more hospitable. The benefits of having a bike thoroughfare running through your neighborhood instead of a traditional road are enormous. Cleaner air, less noise, and stronger communities.There are many – it’s hard to know exactly how many – people in Denver who would walk, bike, scooter, jog, and take transit to work, school, and play if it were safe.
