26th Avenue Cycle Track Shelved

April 1, 2016 / John Fernandez / Central Park, Transportation / 2 Comments

A two-way cycle track was proposed on the south side of 26th Ave. to safely accommodate higher levels of bicycle traffic from the Aurora development and extension of Stapleton to Peoria Street. Despite strong community support, Citizens Advisory Board (CAB) Co-chair David Netz acknowledged it will not proceed. Tom Gleason of Forest City and Bar Chadwick, city of Denver, both said their organizations do not support the cycle track idea. Forest City will proceed to widen 26th Ave. in conjunction with its development of a park and 322 dwelling units in Aurora according to the original plan that includes bike lanes.

    This is typical of Denver. The Mayor says, “Vision Zero,” publicly. Then, when it comes down to it the order is “move as many cars as you can as fast as you can.” – Way to go PW Director Jose Cornejo! – Denver deserves better.

    Super sad to hear that south Stapleton here in Denver won’t be getting a cycle track. This is a popular route for bike commuters, with the hopes of promoting safe routes to the many schools along the way, and would give people a safer alternative to Montview. Nice try Northeast Transportation Connections!
