Speed cameras will make Denver streets safer, and the revenues should fund safe streets improvements

More than three years after Mayor Johnston reaffirmed Denver’s commitment to Vision Zero, he’s finally moving forward with a key strategy he said he would use to make our streets safer: automated speed enforcement. Unfortunately however, his current plans don’t include investing revenues from the new speed cameras into desperately needed street safety improvements.

Denver’s crackdown on sidewalk riding will cause more harm than good

Simply put: Expanding scooter enforcement without ensuring riders have safe places to ride will put lives at risk, raises serious equity concerns, and may eliminate an essential transportation option that replaces 10,000-20,000 car trips every day. For this reason, we’re urging the City to pause the planned sidewalk-riding enforcement expansion.

Our Response to CDOT’s Delay of Colorado Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project

A coalition of transit advocacy organizations, including the Denver Streets Partnership, CoPIRG, SWEEP, Greater Denver Transit and the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition, released a statement in response to the Colorado Department of Transportation’s update regarding Colorado Boulevard released on November 4.

We advocate for the cultural and systemic changes necessary to reduce our city’s unsustainable dependence on cars and to design communities that put people first.

We envision an equitable and vibrant Denver where human dignity is the guiding principle for our transportation system and communities, with living, public spaces that allow everyone to thrive and connect to what matters most to them.
