There's not a crosswalk at the intersection at W. 14th and Irving, which is located in a school zone. Denver7Traffic asked DOTI why that is and what's being done about it.
Amsterdam from Denver writes, “What’s driving you crazy? Hey Jayson, we've been attempting for several years to get a crosswalk painted at W. 14th St & Irving, it's in a school zone. Can you ask the City of Denver why they won't paint one at this very busy intersection?”
DOTI tells me they are currently reviewing adding a new crosswalk across 14th Avenue at both the north and south connection to Irving Street. After that initial review process, traffic engineers will decide if they believe a crosswalk is appropriate. The odds seem pretty good that it will be approved. If the final approval is given, I’m told the installation process can take up to 12-16 weeks so look for some action possibly this summer.
• What, if any, traffic control exists at the intersection? Is there already a stop sign or traffic signal there?• What is the proximity to vulnerable user destinations like schools, parks, or hospitals?• What is the distance to nearest already enhanced crossing? Walking just north of 14th to the Colfax and Irving intersection, I saw a timed pedestrian signal that made crossing the street much safer. Walking south, I saw the three-way-stop that made that intersection easy to cross.
