World Day of Remembrance 2023
2023-11-19 17:00 - 18:30 | City & County Building, 1437 Bannock St, Denver, CO
The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is a global event held every third Sunday of November to honor those who have lost their lives or been impacted by roadway crashes. This year on November 19, communities across the globe, including several dozen in the United States, will gather together to demand actions towards improving roadway safety and to uplift proven strategies, including redesigning dangerous roads, reducing speed limits, and improving vehicle design.
Please join The Denver Streets Partnership (DSP) on World Day of Remembrance 2023 for a candlelight vigil and short ceremony to remember those lost on our streets and recommit to Denver’s goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by the year 2030, through implementation of the recently updated Vision Zero Action Plan.
Participants will meet in front of the Denver City and County Building, 1437 Bannock St, at 5 pm, and walk to Independence Plaza on the 16th Street Mall between Curtis and Arapahoe for the ceremony that will begin at 5:30 pm.
More than seventy people have lost their lives in Denver in preventable traffic crashes this year. Since Denver’s commitment to Vision Zero in 2016, we have lost more than 530 children, parents, friends, spouses, and neighbors traveling on our streets.
Vision Zero is founded on the principle that traffic deaths are preventable and unacceptable. Preserving human life takes priority over convenience. The vast majority of traffic fatalities involve a motorized vehicle and poor street design. This event aims to bring our community together to honor and remember those we have lost and an opportunity to connect, heal, and remember. Join the Denver community for World Day of Remembrance 2023.
