Bus Rapid Transit
Posted on Feb 15th, 2025
Plans by the Colorado Dept. of Transportation for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will be impactful to the Denver areas.  Learn all about it from the CDOT website: codot.gov/projects/studies/denvermetrobrt
 
Current work is occuring on Colfax Blvd. starting in downtown and ending at the I-225 freeway in Aurora. A 2/15/2025 Denver Post story provides insights:  How will bus rapid transit affect Colfax?
 
The route with the most impact to Cherry Creek East will be a proposed line along 6.5 miles of Colorado Blvd. This project would result in a reduction of six vehicle lanes to four, allowing one lane on both the northbound and southbound sides to accommodate busses.

Denver Moves: Bikes Update
Posted on Nov 3rd, 2023
Updated March 5, 2024
 
Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) is excited to announce the launch of the Denver Moves: Bikes Update, a citywide planning effort to update DOTI’s 2015 recommended bikeways map. The intent of this project is to better align planned bikeway facility recommendations with the most recent bikeway design standards, densify the planned network, and develop a program to upgrade Denver’s existing bikeways.  
  
DOTI has hosted the following opportunities for neighborhood input.
  • Virtual Kickoff Meeting via Zoom hosted on November 15, 2023
  • Public Outreach Phase I:   Online survey and interactive map open for community feedback through December 15, 2023.
  • Survey and map results published March 4, 2024
What's next?  Over the next few months, DOTI will develop an updated map that reflects the feedback received, and uses data-driven analysis to craft a world-class bike network.  The 2nd phase of public outreach will take place in the summer of 2024 when the project team will share bikeway improvements, recommendations and bike map updates.  During this phase, there will be opportunities for public input.
