In The Denver Post on April 1, 2017, opinion columnist Vincent Carroll wrote “Can Denver enhance sterile transportation corridors without adding to gridlock?” Southeast Denver councilwoman Kendra Black believes the answer is yes, and at a community meeting earlier this year gave time to three CAP graduate students to present a sweeping vision of Hampden from the interstate to east of Yosemite. The proposal by Master of Urban Design students Matthew Bossler, Aziz Alhassan, and Ramya Krishna, under the direction of Associate Professor Adjunct Peter Park, former city planning director, is creative and ambitious. But it is also inherently controversial (Black has not endorsed it), for it highlights the tradeoffs in trying to retrofit popular urban planning concepts onto low-density neighborhoods whose residents have no practical alternative to the frequent use of cars.
