The funding will be utilized by the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) to hire an outside team to formally examine these roadways and identify ways to mitigate safety issues utilizing a specialized approach known as a Road Safety Audit (RSA). RSA's employ systematic processes to consider the safety of all road users and human factors that may contribute to unsafe road conditions and recommend safety countermeasures. They have been proven to make streets safer.
The corridors chosen for the RSA are:
Alameda Avenue from Kearney Street to Fairmount Drive
Broadway from E. Colfax Avenue to 29th Street
Colorado Boulevard from Mississippi Avenue to Iliff Avenue
“Our goal is to create a safer and more comfortable environment for people to travel in and around our city, and this funding will supplement the work we’re doing every day to adjust street designs to anticipate human error and reduce crash risks,” said Adam Phipps, Executive Director of the DOTI.
