“Sidewalk Palooza” Encourages NW Denver Residents to Talk Sidewalks
If you’re in the Berkeley or Inspiration Point neighborhoods and frustrated by Denver’s inadequate and incomplete sidewalk network, you’re not alone. On September 25, you can join transportation advocates and Councilwoman Amanda P. Sandoval in a walking and rolling tour of the neighborhoods to discuss challenges pedestrians and wheelchair users have in navigating Denver’s walkways. The group will be meeting at Scheitler Rec Center at 10 am. If you have any questions, email allencowgill@gmail.com or contact Councilwoman Sandoval’s office.

Edgewater Looking For Input on Multimodal Plan for Sheridan Blvd
The City of Edgewater is looking for community input from area residents who walk, bike, or drive just West of Sloan’s Lake. The Sheridan Boulevard Multimodal Corridor Plan will evaluate options for enhanced multimodal infrastructure that deliver increased safety and comfort for people walking and biking along, to, and from Sheridan Boulevard. The project will also identify opportunities to enrich public spaces and ultimately make Edgewater’s “front door” more inviting for residents and visitors alike.
