Denver is overhauling sections of East Colfax Avenue to stop traffic fatalities and serious injuries before they happen.
The East Colfax Quick Safety Project targets one of the city's most dangerous corridors, focusing on the stretch in the 80237 zip code. Residents in the Capitol Hill and City Park areas can expect changes to how traffic flows and how pedestrians cross the street.
The city will install traffic calming devices, improved crosswalks, and enhanced signage to slow down vehicles and protect cyclists. These infrastructure changes are part of the city's Vision Zero initiative, a strategy designed to eliminate all traffic-related deaths on municipal roads.
Residents can attend public meetings regarding these changes at Denver City Hall. More project details are available via the city's infrastructure portal at https://services.arcgis.com/zdB7qR0BtYrg0Xpl/arcgis/rest/services/InfrastructureProjects_VisionZero_external/FeatureServer/0.
