Come on @CSP_News. There is no emergency situation happening downtown. And being parked here for over 24 hours is creating an ever larger safety issue for bikers in the city.

The facade is starting to go up on Populus!

@JonMurray @DENAirport @RideRTD @denverpost This is great news, although why wasn't this in place shortly after the A Line opened in 2016?

[Better Denver Streets @denver_streets]

Road diet measures just installed on 15th Street at Blake reducing the number of through lanes. And in coordination with the new bike lane on Blake.

[Better Denver Streets @denver_streets]

Another of the new Blake Street protected bike lane ❤️

[Better Denver Streets @denver_streets]

Protected bike lanes and transit-only lanes are going in on Blake and Market streets in Lower Downtown Denver! #bike #transit #sustainability #VisionZero

Shame on you Shamrock Foods.

@MayorHancock @DenCityCouncil You haven't even passed a citywide ADU ordinance let alone dealt with the fact that 77% of the city is still zoned for single-family detached housing. You've had your chance. Now is the time for the state to make you do what you have failed to do on your own.

@NoSquish We need to ask DOTI if they've given the Rockies any game-day authority over the street, including putting sandwich boards in the middle of the street.

[Kyle Harris @kyle_a_harris]

What if every time a person is killed by a motorist, the street where it happens is permanently shut down to cars and trucks and becomes a green space/bikeway/pedestrian-filled public space? What would our city be like in a decade?

[Estroff for District 7 @Estroff_for_D7]

Over a decade ago, I worked w/ then-State Rep @pettersen4co to pass the 2013 gun package.

Today, I am proud to have earned the Gun Sense Distinction from @MomsDemand.

There is more we can do at the city-level to stop the cycle of violence & address root causes of gun violence

[YIMBY Denver @Yimbyindenver]

YIMBY Denver is excited to support HB23-1255, which would prohibit the enforcement of anti-growth laws that restrict the growth of Colorado's housing stock!

Thank you @RubyForColorado, @WSLindstedt and @SenadoraJulie for co-sponsoring this fantastic piece of legislation! #coleg

@NoSquish @KellyBroughDen That's about as out-of-touch on transportation and mobility as you can get in 2023. Hard pass on Brough.

@IDoTheThinking Denver has Upper Downtown and Lower Downtown based on upstream/downstream location relative to local waterways, but “downtown” in general has been in common use since the early 1900s.

[Better Denver Streets @denver_streets]

@SteveStaeger @FaithWinterCO @RepMegFroe Why a conspicuous sign warning drivers? We already have signs warning drivers, called Speed Limit signs. Every driver knows they have to follow the posted speed limit or suffer the consequences if they don't. If they don't understand that, they shouldn't have a license to drive.

[DenverInfill @DenverInfill]

@RepEpps Disappointed. We gain no benefits keeping a 150-acre defunct golf course, but we gain huge social and environmental benefits by having 1000s of needed homes + jobs/services in a walkable, mixed-use, higher-density community next to a 100-acre park close to an RTD train station.

@iBikeCommute @DenverDOTI If this isn’t an example of the lack of leadership at DOTI, don’t know what is. Study after study, public outreach after public outreach—it’s a convenient way of avoiding making bold change.

[DenverInfill @DenverInfill]

@samuelbrasch Ped+bike+transit+public spaces+dense mixed-use development are necessary to create a safe, vibrant, equitable, sustainable pedestrian-oriented city. We built cities that way for millennia before cars. It's the only way forward. Our next mayor must make that their defining legacy.

[Better Denver Streets @denver_streets]

@NoSquish You can see the same no-parking sign in the same location shown in the news report on Google Street View, imagery dated 12/2022. Yet the reporter says the signs appeared "this week." ??? https://t.co/rYuSDrl31L
