Denver’s two-way bikeway on Broadway has been a long time coming, from a weekend demonstration with traffic cones more than eight years ago to the full 1.5-mile, traffic-separated version that debuted this month as one of the city’s premier bicycle amenities. Even as cyclists celebrate the results of the $14.3 million project, the long-controversial lanes continue to stoke skepticism among some, including local business owners, about lost street parking spaces, traffic impacts and other concerns along the busy street. Leaders at the Denver Bicycle Lobby, a grassroots group made up of cycling advocates, foresee a bright future for cyclists on Broadway. “Everyone I’ve talked to is just really excited that folks can access everything on Broadway,” said June Churchill, who was given this year’s honorary title of Denver’s “Bike Mayor” by the group.
