A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A REVERSIBLE-LANE FACILITY FOR A DENVER STREET CORRIDOR (ABRIDGMENT)

A street corridor southeast of the Denver central business district was selected for installation of a reversible-lane facility to reduce the congestion on a pair of one-way streets during rush hours. Following an engineering analysis of the planned facility, it was concluded that such a facility was economically attractive and could be easily implemented. The method of analysis, as presented in this paper, was considered to be applicable in areas of other cities where overburdened arterial streets are a problem.
