Construction on roundabouts, safer crossings, speed bumps and more is coming to the Alamo Placita with a new neighborhood bikeway project that got underway this week.

Neighborhood bikeways aim to slow traffic and lower the number of vehicles on certain streets, making them more comfortable for cyclists. Bikeways have become a major part of Denver’s strategy to build bicycle infrastructure — sometimes garnering criticism from neighbors and multimodal advocates alike.

The Alamo Placita bikeway will start at East Third Avenue and North Emerson Street, just north of Speer, and continue north to East 11th Avenue. There, the bikeway will switch three blocks over to North Pearl and continue to East 20th Avenue, ending near Benedict Fountain Park.
