Analysis/ Alternatives Evaluation: January-March 2020 – Completed.Data Collection: October-December 2019 – Completed.The analysis phase will conclude in Fall of 2023 with the potential for design to begin later in 2023, and construction to occur in 2024-2025. Implement a fiscally-responsible solution that can be advanced in the near term.Support neighborhood context, network roles, and corridor “permeability”.Support transit service throughout the corridor.Enhance safety and comfort for pedestrians and bicyclists.The W Alameda Lane Reduction project is currently in the analysis phase during which several alternatives are being evaluated and one will be selected. This initiated a corridor-wide study along W Alameda between Franklin and Lincoln, to determine the impact of a lane reduction and how to best repurpose that lane space to enhance the safety of all users. In 2018, DOTI evaluated and implemented the Corona Street turn restrictions and, in 2020, completed “after” data collection and safety analysis on Alameda Avenue to determine appropriate next steps.

By reducing the speed limit on our local streets, we can draw attention to the topic of vehicle speeds and help create a culture of safety within our neighborhoods where we are more likely to see people walking and biking. Since then, Denver made significant investments in infrastructure to make city streets safer for all - especially our most vulnerable road users. In 2017, the City and County of Denver set an ambitious goal of zero traffic-related deaths and serious injuries by 2030. Lowering the speed limit on local streets is part of a broader effort Denver is taking to address safety on our streets citywide. Additionally, wherever speed limit signs are not posted, the default speed limit will be 20 mph, per city ordinance. This change applies to Denver's local streets - primarily the roads with no stripes that go through residential blocks. The City and County of Denver is updating Denver’s default speed limit from 25mph to 20mph.
