At our meeting on March 12th from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1201 Williams Street, all three speakers highlighted projects and plans that we get to hear about early – a preview of a citywide crash study, the RTD fare study prior to public meetings, and CDOT’s statewide plan prior to adoption.

As part of our agenda we include short announcements about other events and important information that we hope you share with your friends, colleagues, and RNOs. A big thank you to Michael Henry for opening the room to our committee.

We began the evening with a short, powerful video from Corky Scholl about the state of sidewalks in East Denver, which is also relevant throughout the city. Remember, you can use the WALKscope web site and mobile web tool to record pedestrian conditions in your own neighborhood!  WALKscope has been recently enhanced, and now has ability to create custom maps highlighting different aspects of the data.

During around-the-room introductions, David Sachs announced that Streetsblog.org will be opening up a Denver arm of their popular, informative web site in coming months. As far as we can tell, this was the first public announcement of Streetsblog coming to Denver!
