Denver Public Works is looking to change its rules for construction permits, and the Mayor’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee is pushing the department to guarantee better conditions for pedestrians.
Problem is, it's taken years for DPW to deliver on something so inexpensive and easy to install. The beauty of these safety interventions is that they're nimble — the city shouldn't take years to get them done across Denver.
At Denver's Ride and Walk of Silence for victims of traffic violence, the Vision Zero Coalition called for Hancock to commit $5 million to make Federal Boulevard safer.
There's no excuse not use the new revenue to jump start what Hancock claims to care about: cutting solo driving commutes from 73 percent to 50 by 2030 and doubling the share of walking, biking, and transit trips in the process.
