As cities develop their bike infrastructure to promote healthy and sustainable transportation, concerns of gentrification and displacement have brought into question who these bike lanes were designed for. While potentially not a direct cause of gentrification, implementation of bike lanes "play[s] at least an indirect role in making neighborhoods too expensive for low-income residents." This paper examines whether the specific timing of bike infrastructure in neighborhoods in Denver, Colorado, relative to the onset of gentrification in those neighborhoods, might further contribute to housing price changes associated with gentrification and other investments.To do this, I first identified neighborhoods that had a combination of household expenditures on housing and transportation costs in which housing costs were relatively low and transportation costs were high, relative to the median household income. Low housing costs can make neighborhoods targets for gentrification, but high transportation costs, which are a symptom of few transportation choices, help to isolate the effect of new bike lanes. From these neighborhoods, I used bunten et al.'s method to test for the process of neighborhood gentrification and its tipping point. To match these neighborhood level characteristics to home values, I combined three years of Denver County parcel data from the county assessor (2006, 2013, and 2020) to create a longitudinal database of home values and property characteristics for neighborhoods which gentrified around 2013. I then matched all parcels to a geospatial database with bike lanes to determine the distance of a parcel from bike lanes, as well as the type of bike lane, and the date it was implemented. With this complete dataset, I performed four propensity score matched spatial hedonic difference-in-difference regressions to analyze the marginal impact of the bike infrastructure on housing values and the possible impact of the relative timing of the bike infrastructure investment in relation to the gentrification tipping point.The primary model indicates that new bike infrastructure had a significant negative impact on gentrification related changes in home values in Denver when measured over a 14- year period, from 2006 to 2020. The change in home values of parcels proximate to bike infrastructure was less than the changes in home values in matched parcels without bike infrastructure. Additional models suggest there may be different levels of impact based on when the bike infrastructure was implemented relative to when gentrification began in the neighborhood, but require further research. These findings can help inform the further development of Denver's bike infrastructure, and other cities with sparse but growing bicycle networks, in which new bike lanes, especially in high-transportation cost areas, may not greatly increase accessibility, and therefore increased desirability. This suggests that implementing bike infrastructure does not necessarily lead to higher housing price increases in gentrifying neighborhoods.
