“We really try hard to have events like these that really preserve the cultural identify of this community,” said Damaris Ronkanen, the Cultura Chocolate owner and founder of Hecho en Westwood. “Morrison road has often been very dangerous,” Ronkanen said. “Last year, a car actually ran right through the plaza here on the campus, and you know, we’re just trying to make this neighborhood safer.”
Jill Locantore, the executive director of Denver Streets Partnership, said the road’s current design makes it one of the most dangerous in the city, but recent changes are making it more pedestrian-friendly.
