Remember when Denver voted for a sidewalk fee? The policy's being tweaked

Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure formed a committee to “review and refine Sidewalk Ordinance 307,” according to a statement from the agency. The group has been meeting twice a month since August to hammer out the finer details of the ordinance.

Now, the committee is proposing three big changes to the ordinance to address community concerns over high fee assessments and how they might affect lower-income homeowners, how the measure conforms to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and to make sure DOTI can implement a working program to build, fix and repair sidewalks throughout the city.
