What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

Denver's biggest snowstorm peaked 112 years ago today, as over 20" of snow fell on Dec. 4, 1913 alone!
In all, 45.7" of snow fell between Dec. 1-5 (mostly on the 4th-5th), the biggest snowstorm (by far) on record in Denver.
It took nearly a full month to clean up from!

1. Missouri prefiled bills are in, and the anti-trans panic continues.
One even goes as far as to ban social transition in schools.
Any teacher who "supports" it, including name changes, pronouns, or "treatment," would be fired.
Even with parent permission!

Driving on a Colorado highway in a 2WD vehicle during a storm? Traction law now requires chains or other devices.
During storms, CDOT officials can declare the traction law “activated” on any state highway. Along the I-70 mountain corridor through Dotsero, the law remains in effect September through May.
