    The project area contains roads with slip-lanes. I believe these contribute both to the speed of cars as well as a sense of danger to anyone walking or rolling. Slip-lanes should be disfavored and removed.

    • Other - One motorcyclist was severely injured at Mineral/SFB this fall. A pedestrian was killed by a too-fast driver on Prince St just north of project area. Street design in project area over-favors cars. Needs balance, traffic calming, more stop signs.
  • Please share any questions or other general comments regarding the Mineral Mobility Improvements.

    Replace all pedestrian/bike/roller crossings in project area with Stop Signs and full traffic signals (esp around Jackass Hill). Do NOT use HAWK signals since these merely flash yellow and do not clearly force drivers to stop for vulnerable road users. HAWKs merely 'advise' drivers but are routinely ignored by drivers. The residential streets of the project area do NOT need to make "driver convenience/speed" the priority." Prince St/Jackass Hill Rd should have vehicular speed reduced to 20 MPH max -- as was recently done on ALL Denver residential streets. If we want people to walk, roll, or bike then we must stop making "driver speed" the first order of planning business.

Are you interested in joining a focus group?

Do you live in the Palisade, Knolls, or South Park neighborhood? The city plans to hold a small focus group meeting in early 2022 to hear from local residents. The discussion will focus on which improvements would be most helpful for safer bicycle and pedestrian travel and how more people could be encouraged to walk and bike in the project area. If you are interested in participating in this short videoconference, please indicate your interest below to receive an invitation once the date and time are set.  

After summiting the survey here, please note location-based comments regarding existing safety concerns or other existing transportation issues and make suggestions for specific improvements on this comment map. An additional link to the. comment map can be found in the introduction.
