Permanent Road Closure
The stretch of City Park Road between Montview and 17th Avenue
has been permanently closed by Denver Parks and Recreation. This
stretch of road will be used for construction vehicles through
summer 2013 during the construction of the Museum's Education and
Collections Facility. It will then be demolished and re-landscaped
in summer 2013, creating a large meadow in the southeast corner of
City Park. Denver Parks and Recreation is working in partnership
with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to coordinate and
communicate this change.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why did the road close? The road closure is
part of the Denver Parks and Recreation City Park Master Plan,
which moves vehicle traffic to the perimeter of the park to create
more open space and increase safety for park users. The timing
coincides with preparation by the Denver Museum of Nature &
Science to build its Education and Collections Facility, an
addition to the south side of the Museum.
- What about cyclists and pedestrians? Denver
Parks and Recreation is coordinating and communicating detours for
cyclists and pedestrians.
