City planners are scrutinizing Park Ave to find exactly where the road fails drivers and pedestrians.
The safety audit is part of Denver's Vision Zero initiative, a citywide push to eliminate traffic-related deaths through physical infrastructure changes rather than just relying on driver behavior.
While specific construction plans aren't yet finalized, these audits typically lead to redesigned intersections, new pedestrian crossings, and modified speed limits. The project focuses on the stretch of Park Ave within the 80237 zip code, an area that sees heavy transit flow toward the airport corridor.
Residents can track the progress of this and other safety projects via the city's infrastructure portal or attend public meetings at Denver City Hall to voice concerns about specific dangerous intersections.
