Tactical Urbanism
Tactical urbanism projects engage community members in envisioning and designing temporary people-friendly infrastructure mixed with art, culture, pop-up businesses and street life.
Featured Projects
¡Viva! Streets Denver
Over the summer of 2023, the Denver Streets Partnership worked with the Downtown Denver Partnership along with other community organizations to put together ¡Viva! Streets Denver. Through a series of four events, ¡Viva! Streets aimed to celebrate Denver’s unique and vibrant neighborhoods by closing off approximately 3.5 miles of Broadway and Welton Streets to cars.
Park(ing) Day
In 2022, Denver Streets Partnership collaborated with the Downtown Denver Partnership and Denver Community Active Living Coalition to co-host Park(ing) Day, an annual event that encourages repurposed curbside parking spaces, “parklets,” for public amenities curated and designed by and for people.
Vision Zero Community Program
In 2019 we partnered with the City of Denver on the Vision Zero Community Program, which gave teams of community members the opportunity to design projects aimed at promoting safer streets in their neighborhoods. Many of the selected teams chose to host pop-up traffic calming demonstrations in their neighborhoods.
Over the Colfax Clover
In 2018, we teamed up with the West Colfax Business Improvement District to launch the Over the Colfax Clover project as an effort to bring together community members and local experts to develop design solutions for an intersection that is currently unsafe and dangerous to navigate for all users.
