We've been so humbled to be led by & learn from our Steering Committee members over the past decade as we shepherded collaborative work to unlock community power & make our region a more equitable place. As we close our doors, we honor our partners as the work continues!

[Mile High Connects @MHConnects]

And we encourage you to share your memories of working with Mile High Connects on any and all posts throughout this week. -dz

[Mile High Connects @MHConnects]

Since early 2021, our steering committee & staff reflected deeply on who we were, who we aspired to be, & concluded it was time for us to close our doors to make way for an emerging coalition of partners. Join us as we celebrate our coalition on our way to our last stop.

@RideRTD wants to hear from you! What routes and service levels matter to get you where you need to go around Denver metro?

[Denver Streets Partnership 👟♿🚴🚌 @BikeWalkBus]

What's most important to you for @RideRTD service during the next five years? Check out this interactive draft System Optimization Plan and tell RTD what matters to you for routes and service. (We say: prioritize transit-dependent folks and equity.)

Congratulations to @EnterpriseNow on reaching this tremendous milestone! The Denver TOD fund has been transformative for our region and we're proud of the impact towards preserving & creating affordable housing! #tod @SPARCCHub https://t.co/CoEZg0bfqH

Denver's proposed Expanding Affordable Housing program is a solid step towards ensuring that as new housing is built, new affordable housing is created. We weigh in on the proposal https://t.co/ae6u5RmVEz

Thanks for elevating this! @SPARCCHub

No doubt this will be highly informative .... keep these federal infrastructure decoders coming. (And if they have any tips for how to increase capacity of agencies to manage the avalanche that would be great to hear)

[Transportation for America @T4America]

How can we use infrastructure dollars to make our towns stronger? Join @BethOsborneT4A and @StrongTowns President Charles Marohn for a webinar on February 17 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

If you missed the 37th MLK Jr. #Marade in Denver yesterday, @DenverWestword has a great slideshow capturing the #mood & the sobering reality that Dr. King's work is just as important today as it was then. The slow work of grassroots power building. 👊✊

[Denver Westword @denverwestword]

What's a Marade? A combination march/parade, and Denver just held its 37th Martin Luther King Jr. Marade. Catch our slideshow.
