There is more to it, like modal filters, to create long pathways for reducing car traffic, while not stopping cycling and walking. That should fix most problems in the residential areas.
Actually allowing density around train stations. Denvers regional rail is pretty good, but nobody can really use it. However they are fixing it.
Creating alternative cycling and pedestrian infrastructure truely away from cars. Pedestrian zones especially in the city center. Those block cars fairly well and really create some great places.
Expand regional rail and light rail. Some large parts of the city lack decent public transport altogether. That is a great thing to redesign stroads. Take away two lanes for light rail. Add some trees and proper protected cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and then take away parking minimums. It does not turn a stroad into something truely amazing, but it would fix most problems. Especiall with allowing redevlopment of the parking lots into mid density housing. It will take decades to truely heal thou.
