“It’s such a hardship for all of us. And from groceries to lugging the kids up to getting the dogs out, we really don’t know what we’re going to do,” said resident Ashton White. “I think their plan is excessive, and then not notifying us about it. It’s a bummer.”
White and his neighbors live in rowhouses on 23rd Avenue, which do not have garages or alleys for other parking options. Even nearby intersecting streets like Julian and Irving are almost always full with cars from residents on those streets, he said. According to the city’s Denver Moves website, neighborhood bikeways are created to “prioritize people who are biking, walking, and rolling” by reducing the speed and volume of cars.
The new signs appear to mark the beginning of construction on the street, which would bring pedestrian refuge islands, stop bars and two-stage turn queue boxes for bicyclists to the street.
robharristv This story is absurd and local journalists should report the street parking situation as it actually exists (abundant) and not as a couple whiny drivers perceive it.
robharristv We spend millions on bike lanes that only serve a small number of rich, young, white people. While ignoring the needs and desires of long term residents and minorities. Bike Lanes are the antithesis of Equity. DenBicycleLobby sandovalcd1
robharristv It's completely false that parking in the surrounding area is nearly always full. Google Maps shows that there are typically dozens of spots open within a single block of this intersection.
