Denver and Littleton announced a lawsuit against Bow Mar on November 9 over plans to restrict access to roads near their shared boundaries. The dispute puts neighborhood traffic concerns against access to a regional street network.
According to Denver’s announcement, Bow Mar approved a gate on South Sheridan Boulevard south of West Quincy Avenue and a closure of Tufts Avenue to outside traffic. Denver says the changes would cut off access to a Denver-funded traffic signal and complicate emergency response.
The cities are seeking an injunction against the gates and compensation as a court considers appropriate. Those are the plaintiffs’ requests and safety arguments, not findings by a judge. The announcement does not include a Bow Mar response or establish the outcome of the case.
