F O O T E R WHAT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM? The NTMP is a new program from Public Works that identifies and delivers quick solutions to address your neighborhood’s transportation priorities and challenges. N E I G H B O R H O O D T R A N S P O R T A T I O N M A N A G E M E N T P R O G R A M

WHY DID WE F O O T E R START THIS PROGRAM? Denver is growing and changing. Every year since 2010, an additional 15,000-20,000 people have moved to the City and County of Denver. This growth has put pressure on the City’s transportation system and is changing the way people travel through and between neighborhoods.

F O O T E R  We want to be more proactive to address neighborhood transportation issues We want to provide input opportunities in your neighborhood for more people We want quicker delivery of more neighborhood-scale projects N E I G H B O R H O O D T R A N S P O R T A T I O N M A N A G E M E N T P R O G R A M

WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BIKEWAY? Also known as bicycle boulevards, neighborhood bikeways are low-volume, low-speed streets modified to enhance safety and comfort for people riding bikes, walking, and driving. This is accomplished with signs, pavement markings, and traffic calming features. These design elements make bicycling along neighborhood bikeways safe and comfortable without installing dedicated bike lanes. The City and County of Denver plans to install 97 miles of neighborhood bikeways per the Denver Moves: Enhanced Bikeways plan. NEIGHBORHO HOOD TRAN RANSP SPORT RTATION N MANAGE ANAGEMENT PROGRAM AM
