On June 15, Montbello Walks, Montbello 20/20, Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore, and WalkDenver cohosted a temporary traffic calming demonstration event at Silverman Park to test out design ideas that would encourage drivers to slow down, improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and make the intersection at Andrews Dr & Tulsa Ct a safer and more pleasant place to access the park.
Using tires, beach balls, and painted roofing paper, we created a traffic circle in the center of the bridge over the Andrews Drive canal to make vehicle turning movements clearer, extended the curbs to reduce the width of the over-sized travel lanes, laid out crosswalks, simulated a pedestrian crossing signal, and even set up a pop-up bus shelter!
