The Denver Greenways Plan will identify opportunities for additional urban trails that prioritize people walking or rolling and biking accompanied by green infrastructure.
The plan will envision corridors to connect communities with safe, high-comfort mobility options while providing climate resiliency and environmental benefits. These types of corridors are designed with green infrastructure to manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, and cool streets on hot days.
Specifically, this effort aims to establish a vision that would achieve the following:
Create park-like, connected travel experiences throughout the City and County of Denver.
Complement and enhance Denver’s existing trails, parks, walkways, and bikeways.
Provide environmental benefits through street trees, vegetation, and other green infrastructure elements.
Integrate stormwater management infrastructure into streets and public spaces.
Elevate investment in underserved communities while ensuring the benefits of greenways are felt there.
Skyland Note: the map in the survey indicates 28th / 29th as a corridor identified in the long-term vision for greenways based on the feasibility analysis. Thanks to Evan for sharing this project that has potential neighborhood impact.
