Re: Corrections on Denver Moves: Bikes Update in Cheesman Park

[Bryan Wilson]

The issue I pointed out with the lack of a shared-use connection on the north side of the park becomes more obvious on a day like today.

Requesting for that connection to be identified on the map and then for it to be brought to the attention of Denver Parks and Rec with the future update of Cheesman Park.

Thank you in advance for addressing this issue.

Hello, 

I've noticed some issues in Cheesman Park with the Denver Moves: Bikes Update.
https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f4fafe1405b6443da158f4d9e257887a

I attempted to mark them in the correct color schemes.

- Yellow: Shared Sidewalk
- Green: Trails (These are existing asphalt that haven't been maintained.)

I have a few requests:
- 1: Can we please have the map updated with these changes & any others some may have noticed?
- 2: Once completed, can we please communicate these connections with Denver Parks & Recreation? In particular, the asphalt paths have been left in disrepair & need to be repaved to accommodate rolling bikes & scooters.
- 3: Can we please also look at connecting a shared-use sidewalk to Franklin in the SW Corner & to Williams in the North? We need plans to connect the bike routes leading into the park that are safe from vehicle traffic. I'm especially concerned about the Williams Entrance in the South, which is why I'm suggesting Franklin, & I'm concerned about the lack of connection from the planned bikeway on High St in the North. We should shift that to Williams & add a shared-use entrance there.
- 4: When permitting special events, maintain some connection around them when closing roads. We are constantly closing the south loop without any connection around the events.
- 5: Relocate porta-potties so that they don't open into crossing bicycle traffic. Wash Park is a good example.

Essentially, I'm asking that we treat City Park the same as Wash Park.

Thank you in advance for your help!
