Fwd: Advocate for better BRT on 38th next week

[Bryan Wilson]

Bus Rapid Transit is how you get more people to Downtown quickly & safely.

Please ask DOTI to listen to the recommendations below from the Denver Streets Partnership.

Thank you,

Bryan Wilson 

Personally, unless the protected bike lane will receive concrete protection at intersections WITHOUT SLIPLANES, I would prefer an Off-Street, Shared-Use Bikeway instead of a protected bike lane on such a busy roadway.

Hey Bryan, While we think it’s great that the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) is studying how to improve a three-mile section of 38th Ave to prioritize multimodal users and make the street more comfortable to move through, we’re worried that none of the options they’re presenting go far enough to achieve these goals. Will you attend a public meeting or pop-up event and use our comment guide to call for proper prioritization of people walking, biking, rolling, and taking transit? Public Meeting Tuesday, July 25, 5:30–7 p.m. El Centro De Barrio (1351 W 38th Ave) Pop-up Pop Up at Community Bicycle Event Saturday, July 27, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Aztlan Recreation Center (4435 Navajo St) Pop Up at Sunnyside and Highlands Pig Roast Saturday, August 24, 2–4 p.m. Levers Locavore (2630 W 38th Ave) Let me know if you are particularly interested in this corridor or if you do attend the public meeting, so we can be in touch! 38th Ave is slated for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) soon, meaning the bus will move between comfortable bus stops in its own lane along the entire corridor, making travel by transit more dignified, reliable, and frequent. This, along with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, “green” buffers from traffic, and a lower speed limit would transform 38th Ave from deadly and car-centric to truly people-friendly. However, none of the options the project team is presenting in this study include all of these elements. Will you show up to a public meeting or pop-up event and urge DOTI to incorporate all elements of a people-prioritized street, including proper Bus Rapid Transit? No need to be an expert—use our comment guide to easily share your perspective! All that’s needed is your passion for better transit service.
