Bollards — waist-high white plastic poles that line the new bike lanes popping up in downtown Denver and in several city neighborhoods — are headed for streets further from the urban core.
And neighbors aren’t happy about it.
“This project, far from enhancing our neighborhood, threatens to destroy the very qualities that make it a desirable place to live,” residents of Denver’s Crestmoor Park neighborhood wrote Mayor Mike Johnston last week, with a copy forwarded to the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
DOTI is a well-known agency to residents in Denver neighborhoods further west that are coping with bollards installed on their streets during recent years.
