We are thrilled to announce that we have called the race for Ordinance 307! With over 80% of the votes counted, Denver Deserves Sidewalks is on a clear path to victory, with “YES” votes at over 55%! More numbers are coming in, but we feel comfortable enough with our lead to call it.
This is an unprecedented achievement for our community and for every person in Denver who walks or rolls to get around. We are so proud of voters for prioritizing a walkable, equitable city.
While we celebrate this victory, it’s important to remember that the fight for better sidewalks didn’t start during this election season. This triumph was a culmination of years of continued efforts. For the last decade, advocates have pushed for a sidewalk solution, with apathy from elected officials as a response. We began the Denver Deserves Sidewalks campaign to give voters the power to decide for themselves.
We could not have succeeded without our dedicated volunteers, donors, and community members. Every dollar, signature, text, tweet, and conversation spent on Denver Deserves Sidewalks led us to this win. Thank you.
What we accomplished goes beyond Initiated Ordinance 307. We end this campaign with unparalleled support, a strengthened community, and a broader awareness of Denver’s mobility and equity issues. We are looking forward to being a part of the equitable and efficient implementation of this new program for sidewalks for all!
With endless gratitude,
