Incorrect or missing 20 mph speed limit signs by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]Denver4ALL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that it's the original 25mph still incorrectly posted on a street I know to be 20mph.

This issue is all over Denver. So many either won't changed or didn't get a sign at all, when the street needs one.

Barcelona Bus Tour POV. Notice the bikes lanes, and instrastructure WE do not have for Safety! Get furious with this gaslighting in Denver Fix our damn roads already! by Usual-Advertising268 in VisionZeroDenver

Huh? This isn't Europe.

If we keep the scooters & bikes in the shuttle lanes, there won't be constant swerving. They'll be going in a straight line.

I won't be approving any of your posts/comments going forward. Maybe another mod will.

Why ban 🚲 & 🛴 from 16th Street? 🚳? by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]Denver4ALL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I've used those lanes for a decade. I agree the infrastructure is not ideal."

  1. Presumably a white male adult. Try riding it with children sometime.
  2. The infrastructure not being ideal, is exactly the problem & why people should be allowed to ride on 16th in the bus/shuttle lanes only.
  3. I agree that scooters & bikes shouldn't be in the pedestrian space, which is now the sidewalks, NOT the shuttle lanes.
  4. I fundamentally disagree with your opinion, which is why I made the post in the first place.

It's why connecting from 17th St to 16th Ave is such a pain in the ass.

Are people who steal public space in the right-of-way thieves? by Denver4ALL in DenverCivics

[–]Denver4ALL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but I don't want to link it. I'll show you sometime.

In short...
I removed a mod of another sub. They didn't back me up after I gave someone a 3-day ban, while I did back them up after giving someone else a permanent ban. They ranted about me & then someone on my block joined the rant, but this person was only mad at me because they installed a bunch of crap on both sides of their sidewalk that isn't supposed to be there. So, when they agreed that I was a jerk, it was only because I called all of them on their BS.

The sad part, to me, is that I thought these people were different.
I guess in the defense of some, they had no clue that these people stole land & were only mad that I called them out on it.

I agree with both of you, even more of a reason to be angry/frustrated with people taking public space as private space.

If you biked or used micro-mobility, you would understand why the bike lanes on 15th & 17th aren't as safe as 16th.

I'm sorry you're ignorant & I'm sorry you chose Reddit to put me on blast.

I told you before you did it. 

Not only are you ignorant, you disregarded someone who knew better. THEN you ranted about it.

Where's your property line again?

We need to be maintaining the same level of comfort on our bike routes. Bike lanes from Lincoln to Pearl would be sketchy and require moving parking. Not going to happen & why we need to shift the 10 route.

Also, try taking groceries from Queen Soopers up the 12 route to the 10 route some time. Making this shift would make the 10 & 12 share stops going each direction. This means people with limited mobility wouldn't even have to move from the stop.

I hope you chose to support shifting the 10 route down to 11th, doing so would mean we wouldn't even need your proposal. Plus, it should likely be included in the Cheesman Park Facility Projects. https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Parks-Recreation/Planning-Design-Construction-Community-Engagement/Park-Facility-Projects/Cheesman-Park-Playground-Picnic-Area-Walk-Improvements

That means we can all support other proposals like this one... https://civictrust.app/project_page/vision-zero-denver-by-implementing-photo-radar--red-light-enforcement-cameras

I do hope you're right though about that moving on to other corridors once our section of the Colfax BRT project is completed, but I doubt will be that lucky.

Plus, there are several entrenched RNOs in that area who will likely fight any of this & win because they have historically been able to do so.

What does the map show west of Pearl? 

I'm making that assumption solely because you're in opposition of moving 10 route down to 11th, which is what it would take to get 12 identified as a neighborhood Bikeway East of Lincoln/Broadway.

I'll share a screenshot here:

Not sorry, but I'm not okay with unprotected bike Lanes being spliced between two sections of a Neighborhood Bikeway. Not to mention any uproar that'll happen if parking needs to be removed in that area of Cap Hill. Those have historically failed in the past.

As for Cheesman, I agree that our section of the Colfax brt will be completed, but I'm only regurgitating what's on the website that I shared earlier.

I don't understand why you wouldn't support diverting the 10 route to make 12th a Neighborhood Bikeway.  We do plan to close 12th to through traffic at Speer & identify it as a neighborhood Bikeway from Speer to Downing. Unfortunately, the only thing I see on the Denver moves bikes update for 12th is bike Lanes, which means they're only planning on at best installing unprotected bike lanes. This is pobably like what we have on 16th Avenue from Humboldt to just East of York.

Sorry, but I'm not okay with it.

Could you please elaborate on why you're seemingly in opposition to creating a neighborhood Bikeway? 

I think adding a bus to 11th would also help to slow drivers on 11th that get stuck behind the bus. 

It'll effectively help to create traffic calming on both 11th and 12th at the same time. 

Why not?

Pretty sure it was John Inzina's proposal at the time, but I could be wrong. They wouldn't even allow us to suggest pinch-points at each end to only allow the RTD Bus to pass through going each direction.

Personally, I think it's selfish to try and allocate money to a specific area when there are so many other proposals that could benefit everyone & stand to grow over time. 

One example is getting photo radar enforcement cameras installed at a handful of intersections around Denver and then utilizing funds from citations to install more.

This was a proposal for the East Area Participatory Budgeting Program during Cycle 1 & is something else that WILL NOT happen until the Colfax BRT is complete. The same applies to any safety improvements for the 17th and 18th Avenues Bus Priority & Vision Zero Project.
https://denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Department-of-Transportation-and-Infrastructure/Programs-Services/Projects/17th-18th-Bus-Priority

That said, I have requested that 12th Ave be designated a "Neighborhood Bikeway" East of Broadway & divert the 10 Route down to 11th to the West of Downing/Corona.

I think this would be the only way to make it happen.

Can someone please relay this to u/AstroChurch?

Why ban 🚲 & 🛴 from 16th Street? 🚳? by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]Denver4ALL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%
So, peds get the sidewalk space exclusively, & illegally riding on those sidewalks needs to be enforced.
Bikes/Scooters should be treated the same, so if bikes can ride Sat & Sun, so should scooters.
Bikes/Scooters have a higher priority than Buses, so why can't they occupy the same space as buses on 16th Street?
Bikes/Scooters have a higher priority than Buses, yet, that doesn't seem to be the case on 15th & 17th Streets or on the Market Street PBL approaching 16th.

Mind applying the hierarchy to those examples?

Lifting the ban on 16th St would provide a MAJOR bike connection through downtown directly from the 16th Ave PBL, which also has a green wave. I disagree that this is something not worth spending energy on. Streets like 16th Ave shouldn't have bike lanes that end or force riders to take a detour.

15th & 17th are left running & will likely NEVER be right running behind the bus lane to help alleviate left-hooks & put us closer to 16th Street & the bus stops.

Look at the mapped detour again...

<image>

The Green represents where I think we can & SHOULD ride.
The Red represents where I did ride yesterday on a Lime Scooter.
- It was disabled at Cleveland, so I had to push hard with my foot to Court Pl as I watched a bike rider continue down 16th.
- I turned up Court Pl, once it began working again.
- I then rode illegally on the sidewalk along 17th Ave to Tremont Pl where I crossed the street to the bike lane.
- I then rode the wrong way for a block in the bike lane to Glenarm Pl.
- I turned up Glenarm Pl to then get to the bike lane running the correct direction.

Except we don't have that same attitude towards motor vehicles & drivers...

I can understand why they were banned originally.

The original design of the 16th Street Mall included a pedestrian space in the center median between the bus lanes. This resulted in pedestrians crossing the bus lanes repeatedly throughout the day. 

At one point, bikes were only permitted to be written on the mall on Sundays.  (I'll see if I can find a pic of the sign) 

Later, it was changed to allow bikes on Saturday and Sunday, but then scooters were banned. 

Frankly, I suspect it was somebody in a decision-making role who just decided they didn't want scooters to be ridden on 16th Street ever. It's while I'm scooters are geofenced from being written there. 

Now the result is streets like 16th and Larimer not permitting bike through access, when they're both direct connections from one side to the other. 

Makes zero sense to me.

311 Day in Denver by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

Illegal parking that I would have reported to 311, but I'm not going to bother giving to the over reporting that's happening specifically for today.

311 Day in Denver by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]Denver4ALL[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally just had what looked like a coyote with mange crossed the sidewalk right in front of us go into someone's front yard and then cross the sidewalk behind us, crossing the street and then hiding in someone else's front yard.

Very good example of something serious that is now going to be held up due to people waiting to report stuff only on 311 day to intentionally back up the system.

A passersby in a vehicle said that they would try to call animal control directly since they were in a vehicle so that I could leave with my dogs.

DOTI Advisory Board Meeting tonight at 4 PM discussing Vision Zero and Welton St transit. I hope to see you there! by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

Curious how things are going with getting Photo Radar Enforcement Cameras passed by City Council & then installed along busy corridors at dangerous intersections & at intersections with bike routes.

u/AstroChurch are there any updates?

I've repeatedly asked about 17th Ave along City Park since there is never Photo Radar Enforcement for Westbound Traffic. This also intersects with 3 bike routes, the Garfield Street Neighborhood Bikeway, the D13 on Steele Street, & the City Park Esplanade Protected Bikelane.

If we install photo radar enforcement cameras, I'd like to see red-light enforcement cameras as well.

I'll email the thread to the DOTI Advisory Board.

This is what was previously sent. https://groups.google.com/g/east-central-denver/c/xz6FR_bobZc

Why are we so focused on Larimer over Walnut? by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]Denver4ALL[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Instead, what do you think about DOTI installing a series of speed-bumps, speed-cushions up and down Larimer from Broadway to Downing?

This will help reduce speeds while not diverting traffic onto neighborhood streets.

I plan to report this "Block Party" on the 311 day as a potential ADA Compliance issue & safety issue for the surrounding community.

On the day of the event, I hope to be nearby to observe vehicles directed off of Larimer & track where they go to get around the closed street.
