Alameda Ave Corridor Study
Posted November 7, 2023
 
Alameda Ave. is one of streets that defines the borders of Cherry Creek East.  Alameda is equal to some of the City’s major corridors, such as Colfax being Denver’s first main street and Hampden being the gateway to the mountains, in its importance for regional mobility but it lacks identity.  To most, Alameda is just a street, not a place and a street spanning many miles with multiple issues.
 
Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) is leading a study of Alameda Avenue that aims to improve mobility and safety for all users and plan for future transit investments, while still preserving the character of the corridor.  Cherry Creek East has been identified by the study’s steering committee as one neighborhood that will be specifically impacted by the Alameda Corridor Study.  DRCOG is currently collecting public input through interactive map and hosting community focus groups.  
 
To provide your feedback through the interactive map, sign up for email updates and learn more about this city imitative visit DRCOG Alameda Avenue Study website.  
 
If you would like to sign up and be part of one of the focus groups, you may do so through the DRCOG Alameda Avenue Study website.  The focus group that will be discussing the segments closest to Cherry Creek East (Segment 4) will be meeting Saturday, November 11th from 2PM-3PM at George Washington High School.  Registration to attend the focus group meeting is required.

Posted November 3, 2023
 
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.
