Take This Traffic Survey
Are you concerned about safety and increased traffic along 16th and 17th avenues? How about along Montview Boulevard, as well as 13th, 14th and 23rd avenues? In conjunction with the planned Bus Rapid Transit plan for Colfax Avenue, Denver is conducting a safety study of east-west connectors between Broadway and Yosemite. Officials say they will consider community input to develop plans for reducing crashes on these streets. Make your voice heard. Here is the link: fp.mysocialpinpoint.com/ Safety-Study
