Cyclists will soon have a physical barrier between them and traffic on E 26th Ave between Vine and Josephine.

This infrastructure upgrade aims to reduce accidents and encourage more residents to bike through the area by replacing standard lanes with protected buffers.

The project, identified as RISE Bike: CTN-2, focuses on the stretch of E 26th Ave located in the 80237 zip code. While specific budget figures and construction timelines were not included in the latest filing, the project is part of Denver's broader capital projects initiative to expand the city's protected cycling network.

Residents can attend public meetings regarding this project at Denver City Hall or find more details via the city's capital projects portal.
