  • Bikes on Broadway – James Colbert, DOTI Senior Engineer & Gaby Serrado, DOTI Project Manager 
    The Denver Moves: Broadway projects have hit an important milestone, with the recently-presented near-final design for the Broadway South segment, its two-way cycle track, redesigned connections to the Cherry Creek Trail and to 7th Avenue, and safe connections in and out of the I-25/Broadway Station. James Colbert and Gaby Serrado will present the highlights of the current design for this voter-supported bond-funded project, bringing Denver’s highest-level on-street bike facility to fruition.
  • Introducing DOTI’s New Director of Transit – David Krutsinger 
    Denver is moving forward on transit efforts, including the 16th Street Transit Mall, in-progress BRT efforts on East Colfax and Federal, planning the overall capital improvements called for Denver Moves: Transit, targeted circulator service for underserved communities, micromobility implementation and working with RTD on Reimagine RTD.  To focus on this work, DOTI has created a Transit Director position, and just this week has brought on board David Krutsinger to head the new division. Let’s welcome and get to know him!
  • Denver’s Micromobility Program – Nick Williams, DOTI Acting Chief of Staff & Stephen Rijo, DOTI Senior City Planner 
    Last year, DOTI announced that they would be transitioning from the scooter- and bike-share pilot program with five micromobility providers to qualifying and selecting one or two licensees for the city. Under the new program’s goals, a higher level of geographic availability would be ensured, and provisions for ensuing low- or no-cost access to qualifying residents would be included. Today’s presentation will review lessons learned from the pilot program as well as what to expect with the new program.
  • Bike Streets Project: 2 Mile Pledge & Stay Sane Loop Routes – Avi Stopper, Bike Streets Founder 
    With the weather warming up, it’s a great time to invite back Avi Stopper, founder of the Bike Streets project at www.bikestreets.com. Our committee and INC endorsed the Bike Streets map of existing comfortable neighborhood bikeways for all ages in 2019, and more recently heard about the app-based version of the map that is now available. This crowd-sourced effort identified several nice loops of neighborhood bikeways for getting out and staying healthy and sane during the pandemic, when you have no destination but “out for a ride”. And very recently they’ve launched the “2 Mile Pledge”, asking people to commit to an easy two miles worth of riding every week.
  • 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan – Lisa Houde, DRCOG 
    As the Denver region continues its rapid growth, the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) is updating its Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan (MVRTP), a comprehensive vision for improving how we get around. Updated every four years, the plan includes:
    • The region’s long-range vision for regional transportation through 2050
    • Identification of transportation infrastructure and services needs based on population and employment projections
    • Information on how federal, state and local funds will be spent on transportation modes, projects and services
    • Details on projects across all modes of transportation projects
    In this presentation, we’ll be oriented to the topics covered in the plan and the major Denver-area transportation projects and priorities in its 30-year vision. After the presentation, please visit https://drcog.mysocialpinpoint.com/2050-rtp to provide your feedback by March 17th, which will inform their Board which will be considering adopting the draft plan.
