Over the weekend in #Denver drivers hit 2 people using a scooter, another driver & 2 people on bikes, including one in West Colfax who was killed. For years, West Colfax community members have been asking (begging?) for traffic calming measures along W14th Ave. For years, they've been denied.

No major reporting organization in the Denver metro area has covered Salih's death with such depth, showing how political decisions often lead to preventable deaths and serious injuries on our public streets. 🥀💔🥀 bucketlistcommunitycafe.com/what-is-bein...

Salih's ghost bike is interfering with absolutely no one. When your DOT's policies make it easier to kill someone with a car than to place a ghost bike, they're designed to uphold a cars-first system, regardless of any action plans the DOT claims to pursue, like #VisionZero or #SRTS or #Climate.

With permission from Salih's family, DBL is organizing a ghost bike dedication at the crash site (W38th Ave & Tejon St) on Saturday, 8/2, at 11 AM. Please join us, especially if you are a community member in District 1 (Denver, CO), & share w/your neighbors. 🤍🚲🤍🥀❤️🥀 @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social

We are getting unconfirmed reports that the victim of the fatal hit and run bike crash on Tejon Street was 21 year old student, Salih Koç. We send our deepest sympathy to their family, friends, and community in Turkey.

Yes, a protected bike lane could have made a difference for the crossing. Just to get that out there before the inevitable bad faith push back

#PedestrianDignity with @sashakestane.bsky.social

As we approach Mayor Johnston's State of the City address, I'm wondering if @kyle-a-harris.bsky.social will ask him about his broken promises from these answers: denverite.com/2023/03/09/a... & denverite.com/2023/06/08/m...

"shunning all nonmotorized life" = most of our transportation/mobility infrastructure sent to the margins, pushed to the edges (h/t @jonathonstalls.bsky.social), beneficiaries of "accommodations" after motorized traffic has been studied, prioritized, made more convenient undignified

#Denver again in the Top 10 (at #6) of most-polluted cities in the U.S. But it doesn't have to be this way. We have plans, a Climate Protection Fund, policies. What do we need? Courageous political leaders.

When they say: "The road doesn't have enough space for a bus lane." We say: "Bus lanes increase the people-moving capacity of our public roadways."

The message I hear whenever I approach one... [Remember to "push it forward," friends, for the next person who needs to cross the street.]

(UN)build it, and they will park.

"It was cyclists, not drivers, who first prodded cities to introduce traffic safety rules."

YES! 😍Air quality also improves around our young people with still-developing lungs. Hearing human voices, chatting, laughing, birds chirping--it's also good for the human soul.

Walking did not merely decline. It was deterred. In mid-century Rochester, a city of 330,000 people, about 1-2 pedestrians were killed every month. ...

5/9/25: Gray BMW sedan driver ran a red light on Federal at 41st as a cyclist tried to cross the intersection. A middle school student was hit by a driver in this intersection earlier this year. #schoolstreets

Hi @realgershkuntzman.bsky.social, do you know what happened with NYC's Intro 501? What does it mean it was "filed" at the end of the 2023 session? Thanks in advance! legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationD...

Inspired by a proposed Denver ordinance to regulate shared scooter/e-bike companies, I'm drafting one for automobile rental companies. What am I missing? Learn more here: denver.legistar.com/LegislationD...

Hi, I’m a wheelchair user. This parking configuration would necessitate me backtracking to the curb cut and rolling in the street for at least a block where people drive monstrously huge vehicles. In short: don’t fucking be this car owner.

How to message the movement to reduce car dependence ⤵️ www.latimes.com/california/s... @streetsblogla.bsky.social

Dammit. Here's your regular reminder that when it comes to breaking the deadly car dependency cycle, public input meetings are just performative bullshit. Huge missed opportunity to save lives and improve the quality of life for so many others. 💩

It isn't only about no longer expanding highways, @govofco.bsky.social, it is also about repairing the HARM to human connection, public health & access for all. What a missed opportunity to show transformational leadership by de-centering the private automobile from transportation decision, #CDOT

Someone, please send help. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/m...

HB25-1147 protects the most vulnerable Coloradans prosecuted in municipal court by aligning municipal court sentencing w/state courts, guaranteeing access to defense counsel, & ⬆️transparency in municipal courts across CO. Our state needs these changes *now.* 📣 Action kit at bit.ly/SignHB1147!

Check out plans for this road diet for West 38th Ave in Denver. Be still my heart. Designs like this have the potential to make this deadly street so much safer and more vibrant for residents and businesses.

Who said this? (I wrote it down but can’t remember the author.) “A good [] system minimizes unnecessary transport; and in any event, it offers a change of speed and mode to fit a diversity of human purposes .”

Turns out Colfax BRT construction in Denver is actually *good* — in one specific way. denverite.com/2025/03/26/c...

Denver has money for a public golf course but not for people to wait with dignity at a public bus stop. #WaitingForDignity #EsperandoPorDignidad

“It’s not about making cities better for bikes, but making cities better with bikes. Ultimately, every resident has something to gain, from all of the qualitative benefits that come with having fewer cars filtering through our streets and clogging up our public spaces.” WATCH: buff.ly/EEhnHEN

I felt this in my bones, brain & heart rate today while we rode bikes to highlight unlivable design along Sheridan Blvd in #Denver, our voices drowned by traffic noise right next to North Denver's largest park. @drcog.bsky.social @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social
