Fall 2019 Safety Improvements

Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) partnered with CDOT to install safety improvements in conjunction with the Hampden Resurfacing Project.

• Medians from Monaco to Tamarac — improve safety, clarify vehicle movement, control turns into residential neighborhoods and side streets, reduce pedestrian conflicts

• HAWK signal at Verbena Street — a High-Intensity Activated crossWalK beacon to improve visibility for pedestrians crossing the roadway and improve access to transit stops

• Signal improvements and pedestrian refuges in the medians at the intersections of Oneida, Poplar and Tamarac, and at the crossing at 7500 E Hampden

Fall 2016 Southeast Denver Visioning

In Fall 2016, Councilwoman Black (District 4) held a visioning series to gather ideas of what Southeast Denver residents want. Over 1,500 participated in the online survey and 300 attended the two workshops. Overwhelming, the results showed Southeast residents love their corner of Denver, but want it to be more walkable, with local restaurants, retail and places to meet and linger.
