A group of Denver residents seeking to slow the city’s roll on a Park Hill neighborhood bikeway project got their wish Thursday morning.
District 9 Councilmember Darrell Watson and officials from the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) at a neighborhood meeting returned a compromise plan that would remove many of the “unsightly” bollards, but still prioritize the safety of cyclists and pedestrians.
The compromise replaces many of the flex posts and bollards of concern to neighbors east of City Park and north of Colfax Boulevard with speed cushions that would act as traffic calming treatments, but still provide an element of safety to pedestrians and bicyclists.
