Denver is redesigning the Santa Fe Streetscape to cut down on traffic fatalities and injuries.
The project focuses on the stretch of Santa Fe Street in the 80211 zip code, targeting high-risk areas where pedestrians and drivers frequently clash. These infrastructure changes are part of the city's Vision Zero initiative, which prioritizes eliminating road deaths through physical street redesigns rather than just relying on driver behavior.
While specific construction timelines and budget figures for this phase are not yet listed, the project targets the unique traffic patterns of the Santa Fe corridor, a key artery for local art galleries and industrial businesses.
Residents can attend public meetings regarding these changes at Denver City Hall or track project updates via the city's infrastructure portal at https://services1.arcgis.com/zdB7qR0BtYrg0Xpl/arcgis/rest/services/InfrastructureProjects_VisionZero_external/FeatureServer/0.
