Alameda Lane Repurposing Project
The project was initially developed to address a rise in traffic crashes in recent years.
After proposing a full lane repurposing in each direction, the City of Denver received both support and opposition from the community. While residents and businesses broadly agreed on the need for enhanced safety—especially for pedestrians and cyclists—concerns were raised about potential congestion, traffic diversion to nearby residential streets, and impacts on local business access.
Taking this feedback into account, the project team has re-evaluated the lane repurposing project to balance neighborhood needs, business access, and safety goals. As a result, the City has updated the design from a full lane repurposing to a partial lane repurposing.
