Residents living on Josephine and York Streets in Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood are launching a campaign to change the traffic patterns of the roads. Right now, Josephine St. and York St. near Central 70 Project construction are one-way roads.
DENVER — Residents living on Josephine and York Streets in Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood are launching a campaign to change the traffic patterns of the roads.
“Part of the issue is that Josephine is largely a residential street. York is too, but Josephine is really a very residential street in the neighborhood,” said Nola Miguel, co-director of the Globeville Elyria-Swansea Coalition Organizing for Health and Housing Justice. “It's how people walk to Swansea Elementary. It’s how you get to the Josephine shops and restaurants.”
“We get a ton of truck traffic, because we have, off York, the Purina plant right there,” Miguel said. “I’ve also almost run into cars going the wrong way.”“The coalition in particular is very concerned about this because we are developing five affordable homes on Josephine and during our groundbreaking for instance, we saw about five different large semi-trucks turn right around there, right next to where we're putting families and kids,” Miguel said.
“Well, there’s cars going the wrong way,” Flores said. “There's usually two cars going opposite ways. So they have to get out of the way to let the other one make a turn.”
