Developers and city officials seem to think that our city must sandwich in high-density buildings everywhere it can, writes Aaron Schwartz. They know traffic will increase. They say the growth has to come first, then solutions to terrible traffic someday will follow. (Denver Post file)
Re: “The human cost of high density,” June 5 guest commentary.
Itap terrible to hear about a traffic accident like the one Aaron Schwartz described. However, urban density and pedestrian safety have little to do with one another. Itap not traffic volumes that caused this accident, but rather roads designed for high-speed travel and not human safety. Redesign of roads should be the cause that Schwartz champions, and any city planner would support him.
