The City of Denver recently installed new protected bike lanes along Andrews Drive in the Montbello neighborhood. But some say even though the bike lanes are meant to improve safety, the lane's design is creating the opposite effect. via MicahSmith_TV
“We worked for three years to try to develop a bicycle lane in our community, and they finally are getting installed but we're very unhappy with this design,” said Pam Jiner, executive director of Montbello Walks. “This happens to be a design that we had never seen before, we did not approve, and it's causing a lot of trouble for the community.”
Jiner says the parking confusion has led to several residents receiving $65 parking fines. She says the city needs to make some design changes. Lacayo says the city agreed with residents that the original design of the street posed safety concerns for bicyclists and pedestrians.
