A study looking into the potential expansion of the road leading to Denver International Airport received $5 million, despite complaints from a bike lobby and other activists.
The future of the thoroughfare is still up in the air, according to Peña Project planner Lisa Nguyen, with plans and alternatives under consideration — and plenty of opportunities for concerned citizens to weigh in."Back when the airport was built in 1995, it was built to accommodate fifty million passengers," Nguyen points out."Now, it's the third busiest airport in the world, and Peña hasn't been updated since 1995.
"That could take anywhere from two to three years," Nguyen says."[It] would need to take place well before shovels hit the ground." are pushing for the money to go elsewhere. "The study seems to be happening in poor faith," suggests David Mintzer, the author of the Denver Bicycle Lobby petition, pointing to the approval of a grant application with that language before the completion of the project's mobility and transportation studies.
DIA is still considering three possibilities for the Peña project — one of which includes no expansion, Nguyen says. While that option would include some updates and repairs, no lane would be added. Another option would add managed lanes that could be tolling or non-tolling, or carpool0 and bus-only lanes.
