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.

• 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

• 20 MPH speed limit
• Contraflow bike lanes
• Bike-friendly speed humps
• Concrete bumpouts
• Raised crosswalks
