Two blocks of Market and Larimer streets in LoDo will be closed to vehicle traffic.
Halloween partiers will be free to fill the streets this weekend as Denver closes some Lodo streets to vehicle traffic.Denver is closing some popular downtown roads to vehicle traffic this weekend to give pedestrians more room during their late-night Halloween celebrations.
The closures are a trial run for city officials to see how they can manage crowd sizes and congestion in lower downtown. “Part of it is visibility. If we don’t have a block full of vehicles at a light trying to get through, it will be easier for officers and other witnesses to see if there’s an altercation starting more quickly. And we’ll be able to get to it more quickly, too,” says DPD spokesperson Doug Schepman. “It eliminates a place for someone to store items outside of these establishments, as well.
Denver City Council members Chris Hinds, Darrell Watson and Amanda Sandoval praised the move on Thursday in a joint statement: “We hear your concerns and will continue to explore ways to make a positive difference in the downtown experience.”
