Denver is overhauling road safety on East Colfax to stop traffic fatalities before they happen.
These updates target one of the city's most dangerous corridors, focusing on immediate infrastructure changes to protect people crossing the street in the 80211 zip code area, stretching through neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Five Points.
The project, part of the city's Vision Zero initiative, involves modifying traffic signals, redesigning crosswalks, and adjusting road layouts to slow down vehicles and increase visibility for non-drivers. While specific budget figures for this phase were not listed in the filing, the city is prioritizing high-risk zones where accidents are most frequent.
Residents can attend public meetings regarding these changes at Denver City Hall. Additional project details are available via the city's infrastructure portal at https://services.arcgis.com/zdB7qR0BtYrg0Xpl/arcgis/rest/services/InfrastructureProjects_VisionZero_external/FeatureServer/0.
