丹佛委员会通过东科尔法克斯人行道工程用地授权 补齐缺失人行道与无障碍坡道
丹佛东科尔法克斯大道（East Colfax Avenue）沿线长期缺失人行道的路段，有望开始补齐。10月6日，丹佛市议会财务与商业委员会以无异议方式通过一项提案（议案编号26-1430），授权市政府为“东科尔法克斯CD8人行道项目”第二包工程取得所需的土地权益。该项目将在目前完全没有人行道的路段新建人行道，并加装符合无障碍标准的坡道。
根据市政府的申请文件，这项授权允许市政府通过协商购买或征收（condemnation）方式取得土地权益，并就收购协议与补偿进行谈判。工程范围位于市议会第8选区，涵盖东13大道与东科尔法克斯大道之间、北魁北克街（North Quebec Street）至北柳树街（North Willow Street）一带的多个路口。初步估算，施工需要约9项临时地役权，合计约2000平方英尺，供承包商临时进场堆放设备、完成施工。
该议案已排入10月13日的“市长-议会”会议议程审议——这只是既定的审议步骤，并不代表市议会已经最终通过。科尔法克斯大道是丹佛东西向的主动脉之一，东段沿线社区密集、公交客流大，但部分路段人行道缺失或不连续，行人被迫在车行道边行走，安全与无障碍问题多年来屡被提及。人行道补齐工程正是市政府分阶段改善这一走廊步行条件的系列项目之一。

Denver Committee Backs Property Acquisition for East Colfax Sidewalk Project
DENVER — A long-running gap in East Colfax Avenue's sidewalks moved one step closer to being filled on October 6, when Denver's Finance and Business Committee approved by consent a proposed measure (Council Bill 26-1430) authorizing the city to acquire property interests for Package 2 of the East Colfax CD8 Sidewalk Project. The work would add sidewalks where none exist and install accessible ramps.
According to the city's request form, the authorization would allow the acquisition of property interests through negotiated purchase or condemnation, along with authority to negotiate acquisition agreements and payments. The project sits in Council District 8, around intersections between East 13th Avenue and East Colfax Avenue, from North Quebec Street to North Willow Street. The form estimates nine temporary easements totaling about 2,000 square feet.
Council Bill 26-1430 is scheduled for consideration on the October 13 Mayor-Council agenda — a scheduled step, not a record of final City Council passage. East Colfax is one of Denver's principal east-west corridors, with dense neighborhoods and heavy bus ridership along its eastern stretch, yet sections lack continuous sidewalks. The phased sidewalk program is the city's effort to close those gaps and bring ramps up to accessibility standards.
