Denver Streets Partnership just issued its report card on the City of Denver s 2020 update on Vision Zero, a five-year action plan launched in 2017 with the self-described goal of eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries by making our roadways safer for everyone. And while the city earned plenty of high marks in specific areas, it received a mediocre B- overall.
Its worst performances related to its failure to build twenty miles of sidewalks (only six miles worth were completed) and the unmet objective of installing so-called Smart City technology at fifteen intersections (data collection devices were put in place, but the organization maintains that there have been no operational improvements ).

DENVER â After a near five-hour closure, Interstate 70 reopened in both directions from Silverthorne to Golden, the townâs CSP division announced late Saturday night. Another closure on I-70 from Limon to Burlington also expired, but CSP urged drivers to avoid traveling as conditions are expected to worsen Sunday.
The highway was closed from C-470, near Morrison, to Silverthorne shortly after 7 p.m. All traffic was being diverted to C-470 due to the closure. The highway was later shut down from Limon to Burlington, in eastern Colorado, due to blizzard conditions, but reopened by about 10 a.m. Sunday.

DENVER â People hoping to get up into the mountains from Denver on I-70 Friday morning ahead of the snowstorm sat in traffic for some time after a semi-truck spilled fuel across the road near Dumont.
By 11 a.m., one lane of westbound I-70 had been reopened at Dumont, but it was taking drivers at least two hours to get from Denver to the Eisenhower Tunnel, and the traffic backup was not expected to get much better before the early afternoon.
