The City and County of Denver is supporting its small and micro businesses and nonprofits that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing free PPE kits to them. These free kits will help each organization offset an unexpected expense and help ensure a safe environment for employees, volunteers, and customers as these organizations continue to reopen.  Click here for more information.

The Denver Department of Transportation & Infrastructure (DOTI) will build out 125 miles of bikeways between 2020 and 2023 to make it easier to travel the city by bicycle. These bikeways will be constructed in three focus areas: Northwest, Central, and South Central. 

They have uploaded the most recent drawings of the over 40 proposed bikeways and are encouraging the public to review these drawings and add input to inform current project designs and inform future improvements to the neighborhood: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/23aa1f1e3e7d40a5aa870703b733a725

These facilities are often placed close to peoples’ homes, causing concern among many residents. Click here for more information from the City of Denver.

Over the past few years, streets like Tennyson have lost retail space to new development that is 100% residential.
