Building a Bike Network that Belongs to Everyone
DenverMoves: Bikes Update
Denver's bike network should serve all residents—not just those who already ride. CCG led the Community-Based Outreach Partners (CBOP) program for DenverMoves: Bikes Update. Coordinating 18 community events across 11 neighborhoods to ensured communities of color shaped the citywide plan. By compensating culturally appropriate project representatives and meeting residents where they gather, we increased participation from underrepresented communities by 45%. The community identified 27 priority locations—putting equity at the center of Denver's cycling future.
