DENVER — Whether your a pedestrian or a driver, you can probably think of a few roads you feel are dangerous.
"These are corridors on which we know more serious injury crashes and fatal crashes are happening. So they're areas of greatest need in the city, they tend to be wider arterial roadways where speeds are faster," said Nancy Kuhn with the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure . It's those types of issues that the City of Denver hopes to identify through safety audits, paid for by the federal grant.
After that, anything that can be quickly improved will take priority, according to Kuhn. For other major changes that might be needed, Denver says it's willing to use its own funding or search out more grants to make the improvements.
