Summary of Walk Audit #2 While the majority of the walk from Lincoln College of Technology to the Sand Creek was along wide and protected sidewalks with clear crosswalks, challenges were encountered along E 45th Ave and south on Havana as we approached the Greenway. Along E 45th Ave, these challenges included: deteriorating sidewalks making travel difficult for wheelchair users; lack of marked crosswalks; and sidewalks to “nowhere”. Along Havana, challenges include: crosswalks without pedestrian lights; sidewalks to “nowhere”; bus stops lacking shelters and/or benches; and high speed traffic. Recommendations: ● ●
Sidewalks and crosswalks along E 45th Ave: Repair deteriorating sidewalks; design pedestrian, wheelchair, and bicycle friendly infrastructure including marked crosswalks Sidewalks and crosswalks along Havana: Install pedestrian lights at crosswalks, especially the on and off ramps to I-70; fix sidewalks to “nowhere” (see images below)
