Syracuse Bike Lanes

March 1, 2019 / Carol Roberts / Community Issues, Health & Wellness, Public Safety, Travel / 3 Comments

Plans for bike lanes on Syracuse from 8th to MLK were shown at a community meeting on Feb. 2 at Sam Gary Library. The bike-friendly route that will connect Stapleton and Lowry (and neighborhoods between) is part of the City’s “Denver Moves Bikes” program. The changes are described as a “lane diet” (fewer lanes) and “road diet” (narrower traffic lanes.) In summary:

  • 8th to Montview will have one lane in each direction with a six-foot-wide conventional bike path in each direction
  • Montview to 24th will change from two lanes each way to one lane each way and have buffered bike lanes in each direction
  • 24th to MLK will continue to have two lanes in each direction and a bike lane
  • The vehicle lanes will be 10 feet wide
  • Flashing beacons will be added at E. 24th Ave. for safer bike and pedestrian crossing at Greenway Park
  • There will be no parking on the west side of the street from Montview to 17th (by McNichols Park)
  • There will be a stop sign where westbound traffic on Montview turns north into the single lane of Syracuse

Design and planning are continuing, but the improvements are projected to be done in 2019. Plans shown at the public meeting are Project Overview and Roll Plot.

    No one even uses these bike lanes over here on syracuse and have not the entire 16yrs o have lived on syracuse. This is a waste of city money and an unnecessary display of power by the people of stapleton. It is negligent gross and no one will even use the bike lanes. No one even rides bikes down syracuse.

    I really wish DPD would swap the bike and parking lanes and add physical protection between the two. It make it much safer for kids and families.

      This far into the process it’s may be too late to change this project, but you should contact the City of Denver person listed in the article and let him know. They did say they’re still in the planning phase. But at least it may make a difference on a project in the future.
