Overview
CDOT has constructed a Neighborhood Greenway on Dickens Avenue between Magnolia Avenue and Stockton Drive in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The project includes contraflow bike lanes and a variety of traffic calming elements to make the street more comfortable for everyone—whether they are walking, biking, or driving—and provides a family-friendly connection for people not comfortable walking or riding a bike on busier streets like Armitage.
Project Goals
- Improve pedestrian safety and comfort
- Make it safer for people walking to cross the street
- Make pedestrians more visible to motorists and bicyclists
- Improve access to schools, parks, and other destinations
- Organize the street
- Clearly define the travel lane to stop dangerous driving behaviors
- Stop motorists from driving the wrong way on the street
- Make bicyclists already riding on the street more predictable
- Consistent and predictable vehicle speeds
- Ensure cars and bicycles are traveling at appropriate speeds
