New: The board of Denver Regional Council of Governments (@DRCOGorg) just voted to approve its revised 2050 regional transportation plan -- which shifts $900m from roads to transit/multimodal projects.

New: In about two years, an armload of Front Range Rail studies paid for with money approved this week could give officials at a new taxing district plenty of fuel for debate, along with solidifying the basis to ask voters to kick in serious money.

My latest investigation @KUNC is an anatomy of a bicycle crash. In a decade, more than 8,000 Colorado cyclists were in crashes. More than 75% of them were hurt. Story: https://t.co/W9lqABGjeh

@AllenCowgill Did Squaw Pass yesterday. Getting a little late, but the section north of Echo Lake towards Idaho Springs was the best.
