CAP project aims to infuse design strategies that promote healthier, more active lives in Denver’s poorest neighborhood

Belying its bucolic name, Denver’s Sun Valley neighborhood is largely industrial and economically challenged. Bicycle lanes are lacking and often don’t connect to the city’s bike-route network. Healthy food options are scarce. Sidewalks are crumbling or nonexistent. Needless to say, the area is ripe for an infusion of forward-thinking design that promotes healthier and more active lives for its residents.
