Cyclists travel on the Broadway bike lane in Denver on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024. more than eight years ago to the full 1.5-mile, traffic-separated version that debuted this month as one of the city’s premier
City officials kicked off the latest bike lane extension project in October 2022, but Denver began experimenting with the idea in 2015 when a pop-up demonstration happened over an early fall weekend on a repurposed vehicle traffic lane.But that expansion has taken years to come to fruition. Even with plenty of cyclist-related signage, some Denverites still faced a learning curve. A parked electric scooter blocked one lane, as a skateboarder lingered in the other, mid-conversation.
Mark Tabor, president of the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association, hasn’t received much feedback yet on the bike lane from residents. But he called it “a little more complicated” as a pedestrian to cross the street now because it requires paying attention in both directions.“It’ll take time for everyone to get used to it,” he said, “but it’s going to be a good improvement in the long run.”
Kenreich, 44, added that she saw “a huge opportunity now to experience South Broadway in a new way” — to notice local businesses that often escape drivers traveling faster than 20 mph. He also called it “a danger” for cyclists, who could hit cars blocking the bikeway or be struck by drivers. The bike lane raised “a lot of mixed emotions” among the bar’s staff members and customers, with some employees who ride their bikes to work being “all for it.” Others are annoyed by the loss of four public parking spots out front.
