A new network of bikeways will soon link Denver’s central neighborhoods like never before. When bikeways are designed to work together as a network, enhancing the safety of people walking, rolling, biking, and driving alike, people will finally have real choices for how to get around.
More Safety. Less Stress.
In order to truly reclaim streets for people, we must reimagine who our streets are for and how we move around our city. The City’s current Community Transportation Networks initiative is designed to provide safer, more connected routes for people walking, biking, and rolling.
What are the Community Networks?
As part of Mayor Hancock’s commitment to a faster buildout of Denver’s bicycle network over the next five years, the City & County of Denver will be working with community members in three areas of the city that will be the first to receive low-stress bike infrastructure and other multimodal improvements. The Community Transportation Networks will be designed to provide safer, more connected routes for people walking, biking, and rolling. Many of the routes have been outlined in the Denver Moves Bicycles Implementation Plan.
