People living in Denver's Seventh Avenue Historic District say the safety poles 'negatively impact the beauty, character, and integrity' of the neighborhood.
Share this:Case in point: Batches of bike lane bollards, aka flexible safety poles, have sprouted up across Denver recently, along with new bicycle paths — turning calm and once-empty streets into havens for cyclists and eyesores for people living nearby.
"We support the use of Seventh Avenue as a bikeway that balances the interests of residents, pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles," Koch says, speaking in an emailed statement."Our concerns relate to two main issues: the number of bollards used on 7th and Williams, and the proposed installation of three unnecessary roundabouts on this section of 7th Avenue ."on May 31 near the corner of Seventh Avenue and Williams street to discuss their concerns.
Koch and other residents claim that they weren't told about the poles going up in mass until "extremely recently." There, people critical and supportive of the bollards and bike lanes wrote in questions and comments for Williams to address. He made it clear that DOTI's number one priority is safety and that Seventh Avenue will not being going back to the way it was before the bike lane infrastructure improvements were made anytime soon.
After a few more similar comments and questions, Williams said: "If I take one thing from this meeting it's that work needs to be done on Seventh and Williams."
