ADA-Compiant connections to park bus stops

[Bryan Wilson]

Hello, 

I've already raised this concern, but I feel that I haven't observed any changes. 

Many of our bus stops are disconnected from adjacent sidewalks and this especially true in our parks.

We either have no paved connection, but when we do it is often in disrepair.

Can we PLEASE do a better job of maintaining existing paths while prioritizing installing new connections with future park projects?

For example, we're planning upgrades in Cheesman Park, but still neglecting the bus stops on 12th and 8th Avenues. Why aren't those being prioritized?

Another example is the plan to adjust traffic flow in in City Park. To my knowledge, there is no plan to add pedestrian connections from the bus stops at York & 21st or 17th & City Park Esplanade into the park.

Those really need to be the priority. 

Sure, maybe the Department of Transportation & Infrastructure is responsible for those connections in the public right-of-way, but beyond that it really needs to be Denver Parks and Rec prioritizing those connections.

Thank you in advance for addressing this ongoing issue. 

Respectfully,

Bryan Wilson
