“In the eyes of some, adding more traffic lanes will solve the problem. That will allow for more cars, which will, over time, mean that more lanes will need to be built, and more lanes, and m…
Peña Boulevard: Expand or not?When Peña Boulevard was designed, it was meant to be a service road for Denver International Airport. It was not intended to become a major artery for the housing that has been built since the mid-1990s. The question is: What should be done, and who should pay for it?
Alternatively, Peña could be made into a toll road. Increasing the cost of driving on Peña is a surefire way to reduce non-airport traffic and would also stimulate the use of public transportation to and from DIA, especially if the A-Train to DIA from the Colorado and 40th Street station became a free ride. It would only work for drop-offs and pickups — like how many passengers go to and from the terminal at DIA today.
The time-honored notion of living within our means applies to cities just as much as it does to individuals.When the A-line to DIA opened, we would drive from our home in Lakewood to the RTD Central Park Station and park — not zero tailpipe emissions but less than driving the whole way. That ended with the theft of our catalytic converter at the Central Park lot. Now we take a rideshare to/from Union Station and take the A-line, leaving our car in the security of our garage.
To motorists who feel entitled to 100% of the road: Cyclists and pedestrians just want their fair share. We need dedicated routes to move around our city safely, without fear of deadly interactions with cars. It shouldn’t take tragedies to motivate common-sense changes. Wyoming said no because of the porous border between our two states and the tendency of apex predators to roam. Oregon, Washington, and Montana might consider exporting some of their wolves, pending environmental impact statements and a range of bureaucratic processes.
