Thanks to all the pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders who came out on February 12th and rallied on the steps of the City and County building to demonstrate their support for Vision Zero and the goal of zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries.
For the Love-In, hundreds of residents signed Valentines to Mayor Hancock declaring their love for safe streets, and 43 organizations signed on as supporters of Vision Zero.
On February 17, Mayor Hancock responded by announcing his administration’s commitment to ending deaths and serious injuries on Denver’s streets. WalkDenver looks forward to working with the City and our partner organizations to develop and implement specific, data-driven strategies that will make our streets safer for all users, particularly the most vulnerable traveling on foot or by bike.
Visit the City’s website for more information on Denver’s Vision Zero Initiative.
Vision Zero Supporter Statement
A growing international movement, Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. Denver residents deserve streets that are safe for all people, particularly the most vulnerable users traveling on foot or by bike. No one should have to die, simply trying to get around the City. The following organizations support the data-driven, complete and equitable implementation of Vision Zero projects and policies in Denver.
