Follow-up questions for Nick Williams th-cam.com/video/5W5DgECF8eo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=o9DF_8-HLvQvzu8A&t=498: - Who is the new Sidewalk Director? (Maybe some of these questions are best answered by that person) - Is there a map of "Sidewalk Gaps" & how can we report sidewalk gaps? - Is there a map of "Hollywood Sidewalks" & how can we report those so that they get set-back from the roadway? - Are we requiring developers to remove "Hollywood Sidewalks" & upgrade the curbs to the typical square curbs with a tree lawn & sidewalk that is appropriate for the block? - Why are some new/upgraded sidewalks being lined with curbs on one or both sides? Examples are at CO Blvd & 13th or 12th & Sherman. This applies to new curb-cuts as well. Why aren't the curbs terminating at the top of the ramp so that the intersection of the sidewalks doesn't have trip hazards alongside it? - For the Long-Term Schedule, DOTI should start with the areas that have had the Water Mainline Replacements completed. - Do sidewalks maintained by Denver Parks & Rec fall into Denver Deserves Sidewalks? Will it include connections across Parkways or along Denver Parks & Denver Golf Courses? - For the areas with existing sidewalks that are too narrow or areas without sidewalks, many property owners have encroached upon the public right-of-way thinking that their private property extends to the curb. In many cases, the City won't be acquiring "private property" but rather reclaiming the "public right-of-way" that was essentially assimilated as private property that the property owner likely didn't pay for & doesn't pay property taxes on. Would be great to have these questions answered on denvergov.org/sidewalks to help educate residents. Follow-up questions for Molly Lanphier th-cam.com/video/5W5DgECF8eo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vRTpnsK8PjRyoUHA&t=860: - Why does it seem like there is no connection planned from the new Kearney/Krameria NBW to the recently completely Lowry Blvd Off-street Shared-use Bikeway? This connection is low-hanging-fruit with the Denver Parks & Rec Crestmoor Park Projects. - Can we verify that there is protection planned for Northbound riders on Krameria at Colfax? - Can we update the Kearney NBW at 17th to include a diverter allowing drivers to make a U-turn on 17th on the nearside, but not allow through traffic on Kearney except for bikes? - Any reason why Krameria wasn't used at MLK Blvd to use the center parkway as bike & pedestrian refuge? Questions regarding Neighborhood Greenways Letter... - In the interim, Can we get approval and guidance on adding planters to the center of the asphalt traffic circles? Maybe local RNOs can identify volunteers to install & maintain them. - can we request the Neighborhood Greenways & all bike facilities connect to another bike facility maintaining the same level of comfort? Protected Bikelanes to mixing zones doesn't seem to maintain the same level of comfort & some Bikeways seem disconnected from intersecting routes like Kearney & Lowry or Blake & 20th(D4).
Can we please have follow-up on the public comment at a future meeting? Bike lane obstructions from Trash & Recycling Bins, road construction signs, & illegal parking need to be addressed... Can DOTI have residents, businesses, & other Government agencies place the bins on side streets? One example is 16th at the Carla Madison Rec Center. Can DOTI direct construction crews to place temporary signs outside of bike lanes? A solution would be at the corner just after a sidewalk ramp or against existing traffic or utility poles. Can DOTI have additional right-of-way enforcement during weekends and evening hours? Also, Denver Parks & Rec obstructs bike routes that enter parks with special events. Sunday, Feb 9th, 21st Ave Neighborhood Bikeway is obstructed in City Park.
