– A neighborhood traffic study is underway with a private consultant.  We anticipate it being completed by May 2019.

– Traffic counts, volumes and speeds have been taken in key locations throughout  neighborhood over last few months based on community input at monthly meetings to show baseline data prior to new development traffic impacts.

– Our committee is working with Public Works to express concerns with speeding, cut through traffic, lack of safe pedestrian crossings, and general traffic safety throughout the neighborhood.

– Our Committee is working with Councilman  New and Public Works to express concerns with the double left turn signal being installed at Colorado and 8th and needing new pedestrian treatments to supplement the Impact to the neighborhood.

-our committee is working with police department on additional enforcement options and putting up speed signs to collect speed data.

– our committee is working with city on the east central neighborhood planning initiative and promoting safer streets for our neighborhood.

– new red “slow down” signs available for residents to install on property

– speed tracker signs temporarily up in various locations tracking speeds throughout neighborhood

– south congress park:

pop up temporary pedestrian crossing project scheduled for spring 2019 across 8th Avenue.

– north congress park: residents were able to secure funds from walk denver for a permanent pedestrian treatment near East high school

– north congress park: residents were able to secure funds from walk denver for a pedestrian crossing near Madison and colfax.

– In the future our committee is hoping to create a permanent (vs pop up) pedestrian crossing in south congress park and to create a pedestrian spine through the middle of congress park neighborhood connecting the neighborhood from north to south via continuous  pedestrian crossings.

Thank you to Councilman New for supporting traffic safety in our neighborhood and funding studies and pop up treatments!
