Ever “play Frogger” on Pikes Peak Avenue? “Urban intervention” is among the fascinating topics as Jan and Jill are joined by special guest, landscape architect/urban designer John Olson. John won our contest on Facebook to have this guest spot. John describes the interesting experiment done with Pikes Peak Avenue (Better Block Pikes Peak). Discussed: A roundabout at Pikes Peak and Colorado? Guess how many roundabouts we have in C. Springs? Parklets. A project in Old Colorado City to improve parking and bicycle safety. John explains the advantages of “reverse angle parking.” The city’s revision of its comprehensive plan is also discussed. John is with Altitude Land Consultants and co-founder of Colorado Springs Urban Intervention.
