The City of Denver is temporarily closing select streets around Sloan’s Lake and other areas around Denver to allow people to maintain physical distance and walk/bike/run. See the map above for the street closures around Sloan’s Lake (Byron Place from Zenobia Street to Stuart Street & Stuart Street from 24th Avenue to 21st Avenue).

Here’s more from the City of Denver:

Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is closing select streets to thru-traffic on a temporary basis to create more space for Denver residents to walk, bike and run while complying with physical distancing requirements. The additional room, currently not being used for car traffic, will allow people to enjoy the outdoors and feel more comfortable getting out for a walk, bike ride or fresh air during this time. By officially closing some areas to vehicle thru-traffic, the city hopes to provide a safer experience in alignment with its Vision Zero efforts to provide safer streets for all.
