Hello all,
Every single intersection is being fitted with what I perceive to be unnecessary beg-button posts that create obstructions & narrow sidewalk ramps when, in other areas, we just add them to the traffic signal posts or omit them completely by programming the signals to automatically cycle to a pedestrian crossing phase.
Why are we seeming installing so much unnecessary infrastructure that only seems to prevent us from installing sidewalk ramps that are 8ft wide & in line with the connecting sidewalk?
If you hear frustration in this Reel, it's because I am very frustrated.
Can we please change this installation pattern?
Can we stop installing beg-buttons in the pedestrian access route?
Can we please prioritize 8-ft wide sidewalk ramps & sidewalks as a minimum along Colfax as called out in the City of Denver Complete Streets Design Guidelines?
Thank you in advance for your help addressing this issue.
Respectfully,
Bryan Wilson
