Description

DENVER, CO — Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is temporarily closing some streets to create more space for people too walk, bike and run, city officials said. The closures aim to allow pedestrians and cyclists more room for social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak. The street closures are occurring in neighborhoods with higher population densities and busy parks, city officials said. Areas of the city that don't have immediate access to a park or trail are also being prioritized. While the roads will be closed to thru-traffic, drivers who live on the street will be allowed access to their homes, officials said. Those who need to access a spot on the stretch of roadway that is closed will also be allowed access. "People in cars are urged to go very slowly and use extreme caution on these shared streets," officials said.
