DENVER — This week, sidewalk repairs started in Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood as part of the city’s sidewalk improvement project.

In 2022, voters approved a citizen-led ballot initiative transferring the responsibility from property owners to the city to build new, and repair, sidewalks.

Construction for the overall project began in July and the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood was the first to receive repairs.

“Before the repairs, they were really bad,” said Ryan Walters, who has lived in the Berkeley neighborhood for about three years. “... We had to get an off-roading stroller just to go through the neighborhood."

Walters also mentioned that during the winter, the uneven sidewalks posed other challenges, including “six-inch drop offs” that make it difficult to clear any ice away.
