The city says that sidewalks will cost 3x what the ordinance's estimate is, with no reasoning why. Even though it matches their own estimate from a few years ago.
It sounds to me like the city does not want to build sidewalks.

On second thought, maybe creating a horde of low-paid, untrained delivery and taxi drivers whose only incentive is to drive as fast as possible while staring at their phones was a bad idea.
A single speed enforcement cop in the city is big enough news to hit the top of r/denver where the thread is full of cagers who are angry about it.
Very healthy society we have built.
@BryanByBike I don't report things as often as I used to. I've never had a satisfying outcome. Good responses happen, but for the most part it's "ticket closed <reason that makes no sense>"
But I agree that it's important
@alebikexson Doesn't this stretch of Franklin already have sharrows? IIRC They've been there forever. The project is to make it a "neighborhood bikeway" (sharrows).
Are they just pretending to improve existing infrastructure to juice the stats and meet their 125 mile goal?
DOTI is bragging about these upcoming "bikeway corridors". Like 90% of it is sharrows. What are we even doing. Who is ultimately responsible for this mess?
@iBikeCommute Can't wait to vote for the dude with infinite money who is super proud of his choice to commute from Boulder to Denver in his ICE vehicle.
