DENVER MOVES: BIKEWAY PROGRAM
A GUIDE TO ACHIEVE VISION ZERO:
• Citywide Master Plan that provides recommendations for developing a safe, connected and convenient network of Bikeways in Denver
• Each year, 400 to 500 miles of roadway in Denver are paved
• Repaving represents a key opportunity to implement recommendations from DMoves Bikes and advance Vision Zero
• Goal to implement more than 10 miles of bikeways annually through repaving

Mobility TodayE Virginia Ave from S Kearney St to S Quebec St:
• 1 bicycle crash along corridor• 22 vehicle crashes along corridor• 1 motorist seriously injured in traffic• 50% of WB traffic is travelling above 25mph• 15% of WB/EB traffic is travelling above 29mph
“High bicycling cities generally show a much lower risk of fatality and severe crashes for all road users”*
Corridor Vision Zero Summary (2015 to 2020):
*Source: Why cities with high bicycling rates are safer for all road users. Marshall & Ferenchak - Journal of Transport & Health – Vol 13. 2019.
Existing Cross Section
• No dedicated space for bicyclists• Posted speed limit is 25 mph• Two schools present along the corridor (GW High
School and the Denver Green School)• School Zone posted speed limit 20 mph near the
Denver Green School (80% travel faster than 20mph) • 95% of available parking not used

Project Benefits
Proposed Cross Section
Benefits of the Bike Lane include:
• Providing dedicated space for people riding bicycles• Slowing vehicles by visually narrowing corridor• Improving sight lines for people crossing the street• Providing greater separation for pedestrians walking
on sidewalks from moving vehicles• Making all traffic movements more predictable• Making intersection conflicts less stressful
Example of proposed bike lane
