DENVER — The City of Denver is continuing its years-long effort to make streets safer for pedestrians and bikers, including the addition of protected bike lanes and changes to traffic flow to reduce the speed of cars.
A barricade now blocks traffic from turning north onto N. Franklin Street from 14th Avenue, and many freshly-painted markings on the street mark bike lanes in both directions. On-street parking has been reduced to the east side of the road. Izra Rosario, who has lived in the area for five years, said they too were surprised to learn of the project when construction started.
“I check my mail every day. I’m a big fan. I’ve got multiple folks that I’m still very old school with, [we’re] pen pals,” Rosario laughed. “I would have known whether or not we had a postcard inviting us to a forum of some sort.”
