Is Mayor Johnston going to double down on the Broncos Bond tomorrow?

City Council will vote Monday to amend the Vibrant Denver Bond, but reports say the Mayor won’t budge on replacing the two viaducts crossing Broncos property- a $140 million stadium handout.

Weather nerds, I've written a weather station app that displays live data from thousands of backcountry mountain sites. If you want to know if there was a hard freeze last night at the top of loveland pass, this is for you. Check it out- apps.apple.com/us/app/weath...

Wish we still had @nbminor.bsky.social in Denver to investigate why CDOT chose the most expensive downtown highway alternative at the same time that their funding is being cut. The engineers on the ground preferred removing the highway ramps altogether.

Denver City Council is about to vote on DIA’s $15,000,000 Pena Blvd expansion NEPA study. Read our open letter to council and use the EveryAction link below to ask council to include a transit alternative.

Rare admission that traffic engineers can save lives and conversely, not doing this will kill people.

“The estimated cost of $800,000…for 60 speed tables…could mitigate more than 2.6 fatal crashes, 117 injury crashes, and 335 PDO crashes in a 5-yr period”

Great questions re: Pena blvd expansion but Phil Washington is gaslighting. He claims the decision to expand Pena has not been predetermined, but all NEPA alternatives proposed by DEN call for adding lanes. DEN eliminated the "multimodal and equity" alternative without any quantitative analysis.

The fire dept chief’s dishonesty is astounding. Getting rid of bike lanes won’t improve emergency response times. Cars are the problem.

“Protected bike lanes, in particular, can make it difficult for the department’s big trucks to navigate streets”

Who gets veto power over the safety of our city's streets?
