Another quote from the article that jumped out to me: “I get fists waved at me . . . I’m getting honked at or yelled at.” I had to backtrack to confirm this was from a driver. Anyone who bikes experiences this -- and far worse -- every. single. day. Our system is set up to bully people on bikes.

I didn't vote to raise my taxes so the city could pay for an ad campaign telling me "do something" about climate change. I want *the city* to do something about climate change. Like, I dunno, fund things that actually make it easier to walk, bike, and take transit.

Reason #2087 why biking is awesome: Some dude just biked past me singing this song to himself. "Golly what a day!" youtu.be/s3OUaBcA-Fo?...

We should not accept this as "normal."

Preach, John.

This is so misguided and a total waste of 💰. People don't want to walk long, twisty routes. Just make Broadway and Lincoln safer streets to cross, rather than highways through the heart of downtown.

This popped up in my fb memories from 13 years ago - it's like we were living in a different universe then. Talking rationally about important things, laughing.

Great op-ed from @jlocantore.bsky.social about the economic benefits of transit and the threat posed by the Trump admin: www.denverpost.com/2025/04/25/d...

DSP ED @jlocantore.bsky.social in today's Denver Post: The Trump administration's threats to withhold transportation funding "is a big problem because, in communities throughout the country and here in Denver, transit is essential for the affordability and economic vitality of our community."

So many good quotes in this article, it's hard to pick a favorite, but here's an example: “I had a mandatory parking minimum, even though what I was building was itself a parking lot,” Farah said. “Having to build a parking lot for your parking lot is dumb as f---ing rocks.”

This is the kind of local news I need right now.

A win for those who can afford to pay for big lobbying firms to advocate for their interests. A loss for the rest of us.

Big park + density + spring = 💖

Apparently, if you are experiencing homelessness, and hit and killed by a car, it's your fault. coloradosun.com/2025/04/08/c...

The weather in Denver right now is complete and total garbage. 0/10, do not recommend.

Your voices matter! Tell City Council to not expand Peña Boulevard without considering transit improvements first: secure.everyaction.com/5JgxOb9qi0ed...

Hi friends. My amazing colleague at the Denver Streets Partnership, Adrienne, and her partner Thom are facing some steep medical expenses after Thom was hit by a car while biking home. If you can, please support them in their recovery. gofund.me/e9e76fdf

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

Today's the day! Join the People Over Parking Love In starting at 3 pm at Cerebral Brewing to rally in support for common-sense reforms to Denver's parking policies that prioritize spaces for people over cars. We'll see you there! www.eventbrite.com/e/people-ove...

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬 That's #carspreading. Our new campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking policies fairer by varying costs based on the size of a car. Why? 🧵1/8

This Thursday! Join the People Over Parking Love In at Cerebral Brewing in Congress Park to show your support for common-sense policy reforms that prioritize spaces for people over cars. RSVP at www.eventbrite.com/e/people-ove...

It's a beautiful bluebird day for a little democracy in Denver

Ugh.

Our January newsletter is out, with the answer to the question, what happens when you pay people to ride bikes? Plus lots of ways to get involved this month and next. Read it at bit.ly/dspjan25news and subscribe at denverstreetspartnership.org/get-involved...

Whhyyyyy can't my bus just go in a straight line? It would probably cut my trip time in half.

This is a fundamental challenge for incorporating community input into transportation planning. People are experts at their lived experiences. They are terrible at predicting how that experience might change if the system changed.

People often casually dismiss my expertise in a field I've been working in for 20 years. Everyone thinks they are an expert in transportation because they use it every day. I flush the toilet every day, but I do not second guess the plumber when it needs fixing. I just want them to fix it.

It was a real privilege to produce and edit this episode and I'm so grateful that Michelle DuBarry shared her story with me and our audience. This is a subject that doesn't exactly generate a ton of viral news stories but is hugely important. Give a listen and let me know what you think.

Today's bullshit sidewalk situation, on Quebec St, just north of Colfax, Denver's most heavily used bus route. We need the city to get the new sidewalk program up and running ASAP.

It's not surprising at all that yet another study found that pretty much any way of getting around other than driving a personal vehicle is better for the environment, but the assertion that the food eaten by people walking should be counted towards transportation GHG emissions is patently absurd.

The transportation system is failing me today. I just spent 20 minutes walking the long way to a bus stop, because the direct way is unsafe, waiting for a bus that didn't come, and then walking back home to drive. The problem isn't individual choices, it's the system that forces us into bad choices.

Eventually, thanks to the voter-approved Denver Deserves Sidewalks initiative, this bus stop will be connected to a sidewalk. But today, it still sucks.

If you’re able, help out Francisco Montoya, a chef at a local school, who was hit while biking to work with his GoFundMe. #BikeDEN kdvr.com/news/local/p...

I'm sadly resigned to gun violence regularly intersecting my life here in the U.S., and it really breaks my heart to read this news from Prague, where I studied in the 1990s. I am so grateful for my time at Charles University and how it formed who I am today. I regularly visit Prague in my dreams. 💔

This is the June photo for my 2024 Calendar. Wildflowers + morning light = 😍

This is the May photo for my 2024 Calendar. One of my favorite parts of camping is watching the sun rise and set from the campsite. I think Nuche likes that too.

This is the April photo for my 2024 Calendar. One of the perks of living in Colorado is the close proximity of New Mexico - where this photo was taken and a truly enchanted place - and one of the perks of both CO and NM is the fabulous sky.

"In addition to the driver himself, NTSB officials suggested that multiple parties played a role in the horror — including Dodge’s advertising team, which has become particularly notorious among sustainable transportation advocates for its aggressive marketing tactics."

"The faster drivers go on the road, the more likely they are to suffer a crash and for that crash to be fatal—a point that is both bluntly, stupidly obvious and more or less ignored by plenty of drivers, automobile marketers, and road designers."
