On Wednesday, Denver Streets Partnership, along with the Denver Bicycle Lobby, held a bike ride and a walk of silence to honor those killed in preventable traffic crashes on Denver streets over the last year.
“A total of 114 people have been killed since January of 2021,” said Jill Locantore, the executive director of Denver Streets Partnership.
“Unfortunately, I know firsthand how tragic it is when someone is killed either walking or riding their bicycle,” said Denver resident Keith Reed. “It sucks. It’s terrible. What do you say? It turns our whole world upside down,” he said. “For me or for my sons, to try to get by day to day now, and have to deal with cars or traffic or whatever, it’s a struggle.”
“We need to refocus attention on these major arterials like Colfax Avenue, like Federal Boulevard, and we need to fundamentally transform how these streets function,” she said.
