Calls for improved safety on Federal Blvd after deadly incidents
Mountain View Towers residents in Denver are expressing serious safety concerns about crossing Federal Boulevard, particularly for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The need for safer crosswalks along the busy street has been a long-standing issue, but it wasn't until tragic incidents last year that urgent demands for improvements were made. The aftermath of accidents is evident in broken car parts, damaged sidewalks, and barely visible crosswalks. Many residents report feeling fearful of crossing due to inadequate pedestrian signals and short crossing times. The community is mourning the loss of two residents who were killed in accidents on Federal Boulevard. Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez has proposed transferring Federal Boulevard from state jurisdiction to a city street to prioritize safety for residents. While discussions are ongoing with various agencies for potential short- and long-term improvements, residents emphasize the critical need for changes to ensure their safety when navigating the area.
