Capitol Hill #denver street safety failure. The street was scheduled for a protected bike lane until the mayor decided that free parking was more important.

If Mayor Mike Johnston wants to get the community of people that care about sustainable transportation and safer streets on board with this bond, he should add protected bike lane projects to this bond, not words pretending like he is.

The Mayor thinks that changing
language will convince voters he cares
about people that bike.
When he has 0 miles of new protected
bike lanes in this bond, we call BS.
Tearing down a bridge that already had a
bike path on it and putting a bike path on
the new bridge is not a bike project.
Adding new protected bike lanes to the
bond list is more meaningful than adding
words.

Some great comments on the petition to save Denver bike funding and letter to the Mayor and City Council. You've got till Monday to fill it out. us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=__test_…

Joe

Why does navigating a city that purports
itself to be so outdoor-friendly have to
mean bouncing between a woefully
incomplete bike network and surface
streets? Cars are given every opportunity
to get around the city with an over-
abundant street network, which all come
with their own large maintenance and
repair costs. It's time to build out a truly
complete, safe bike network and start
saving infrastructure dollars by closing
redundant roads and bridges. Let's fix
traffic by providing a better alternative
to just paving more.

Another crash. Pickup truck driver drove into the bike lane & hit a person on a scooter and dragged them. This road was supposed to be upgraded to a protected bike lane, but once again DOTI leadership & the Mayor have not prioritized the work to make it safer. 1st Ave & Knox Ct. #bikeden

A driver killed a woman on a bike tonight on W 38th Avenue. This is the second fatal hit and run bike crash on W 38th Avenue in the last few years. This is also at an intersection along a street scheduled to become a protected bike lane until the local city councilor intervened, so there's that.

Mayor Johnston on the campaign: I won’t delay building out bike lanes. Mayor Johnston last week: I am delaying building out bike lanes.

Mayor Johnston's answer to a questionnaire on bikes:
But Denver has frequently
strayed from executing the
Denver Moves plan as
written, delaying and even
canceling planned projects.
As Mayor, I will commit to
executing Denver Moves-
and expanding upon it to
build more high-comfort,
dedicated bike lanes-to
ensure that our city follows
through on the ambitious
promises it's made.

Mayor Johnston's anger during an interview last week about bike infrastructure:
And there are a
lot of us in the city who still have to use
cars, and we don't want to make it harder
for you to use a car. We want to make it
easier for you to use a bike, and we think
there's a way to do both by both protecting
parking spots, getting a smaller number of
various safe lanes, and then making sure
that we can still get people that want
access to businesses that have spaces in
front."
Johnston added that the city has paused
expansions for a lot of new bike lanes, but
would like to accelerate a smaller number of
lanes for higher safety protections.

Call your city council members and the two at large council members today. The mayor has proposed reducing dedicated bike lane funding in the bond package to $0. It’s time we fight back for sustainable and safe transportation.

Legislative Alert- Call or
email your Council-
members today
Mayor Johnston has completely ignored the
bond community input process & has
reduced dedicated bike lane funding in the
bond package to $0. This is down from $18
million in the last bond. Call or email your
council member & the two at large council
members and ask them to put dedicated
bike lane funding in the bond package. Not
funding bike lane projects in this bond will
set our progress on climate friendly
transportation back for at least a decade.

Your occasional reminder that the Mayor and DOTI leadership got rid of a protected bike lane here to enhance the valet parking experience for steakhouse patrons while making this bike lane more dangerous for anyone that rides it on a bike or scooter.

A picture of 1550 Market St, from the vantage point of the sidewalk facing northeast. On the right side, you can see a dining tent, taking up almost the entire sidewalk, leaving only the smallest legally required space in between the dining tent and the street curb. A sign sticks up out of the sidewalk between the tent and the curb, further reducing the width, announcing the end of the bike lane. The street itself, a downtown arterial, has been recently reconfigured with sharrows instead of the protected concrete bike lane which was previously there.

tl;dr the mayor’s shame

We’ve heard Mayor Johnston is proposing to reduce bicycle funding in our upcoming GO Bond by 95%!!! That means hardly any new bike lanes in #Denver for the next decade.

Mayor Johnston is reducing funding for
bike lanes in the upcoming Vibrant
Denver bond by 95%! In the 2017 Elevate
Bond, Mayor Hancock funded
$18,000,000 of citywide bike lanes.
We've heard Johnston's bond has only
~$875,000. Johnston is not serious
about reducing air pollution and fighting
climate change.

Thank you Mayor Johnston and DOTI for “upgrading” our bike lanes. They work so well to keep trucks from parking in them now that you’ve removed the flex posts. And pedestrian can see so well into the shops now without the flex posts being there.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, we’ve heard one of the reasons DOTI is removing safety infrastructure on the Market Street Protected Bike Lane is that a steakhouse complained their valet parking isn’t good enough. Our new bike infrastructure is being sold out for valet parking.

DOTI is prioritizing valet parking over
a protected bike lane
We've heard DOTI is redoing part of the
Market Street Protected Bike Lane
because STK steakhouse, a publicly
traded corporation, complained that the
valet parking wasn't close enough for
their patrons. DOTI had no community
meetings and is destroying our bike lanes
for big business.

doti could've fixed the aesthetics by making the bike lane better but they decided to do it by making it less safe, instead.

DOTI confirmed the #1 reason for removing part
of the Market and Blake bike infrastructure is aesthetics

We would never remove a guard rail
because it doesn't look pretty. But
apparently the Mayor thinks his aesthetic
taste is more important than your safety.
The Mayor needs to reinstall key safety
elements of the Market and Blake protected
bike lanes now.

"What I'm concerned about is if we don't study
this corridor, we're not going to be ready for a
right of way or an easement that might need to be in place for EV infrastructure expansion, air taxis, vacuum tube transit, smart highways, and self-driving transit," she said.
