While the Curbside Action Plan is intended to be a resource that City staff can routinely use to determine when to change curb use strategies, which curb uses are most appropriate based on context and need, and what factors must be considered for implementation, there are also specific recommendations that emerged through the planning process.
Recommendations range from addressing technical considerations to ensure Denver uses current curbside management and data collection best practices to taking concrete steps toward supporting the expansion of on-street bicycle and scooter parking. The goals and guidance for this Curbside Action Plan were developed to meet the Denver transportation modal hierarchy, which places the highest priority on people walking, rolling, and bicycling. The recommendations are also intended to advance equity, mobility, safety, sustainability, community, and quality goals associated with Denver Moves Everyone 2050, the city's Strategic Transportation Plan.
The Curbside Action Plan recommendations are organized by curb use category and the following pages include information on implementation timelines, relative impact, level of effort, cost, and supporting partners. While the Curbside Action Plan will be a critical guidance document for addressing questions on curbside management at the street-by-street level, the plan recommendations will support implementation of citywide curb management initiatives that meet the needs of various users.
