LATE APRIL OPEN HOUSES SET BY DRCOG TO HEAR IDEAS ON PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION

The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) is hosting two open houses in late April to give metro area residents an opportunity to share their ideas about bicycle and pedestrian facilities and needs.

The open house dates and locations are:

Tuesday, April 25, from 4-8 p.m. — Second Floor Community Room, Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood

Wednesday, April 26, from 5-8 p.m. — Boulder West Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder

The council of governments is updating the pedestrian and bicycle element of the region’s long-range transportation plan, which identifies transportation improvements to the year 2030. The element will set regional bicycle and pedestrian policies, inventory existing facilities, identify major project needs, and establish guidelines for future improvements of sidewalks, paths, pedestrian amenities and bicycle facilities. The overall goal is to encourage walking and bicycling for transportation purposes.

Residents can also express their opinions by completing two questionnaires DRCOG has posted on its Web site at http://www.drcog.org/bikeped. There are separate questionnaires for bicyclists and pedestrians.

For more information or to offer comments, please email bobermann AT drcog DOT org or call 303-480-6775. Disabled attendees are asked to notify DRCOG at least 48 hours in advance if auxiliary aids or services are needed.
