Another road safety project is made less safety after a wealthy and influential family hired professional lobbyists and met with the Mayors Office and DOTI.

They did it again. They have shown they will continue to do it over and over. Direct fire at the mayor and his appointed executive [email protected] [email protected] Frontline DOTI people are trying to do good and their leaders continue to fail them and the city

We are incredibly disappointed DOTI and the Mayor caved into the interest of a wealthy Denver family for the Alameda safety project, yet again following their pattern of watering down road safety projects when people with connections complain.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Congrats NYC- we are happy for you.

On this Election Day, remember: Opposition to public #transit is motivated by industries and investors who win when we’re dependent on cars. The reason is simple: Reducing vehicle miles (#VMT) reduces statistical car sales and associated revenues. jilladlergrano.substack.com/p/big-money-...

During Tonight’s City Council budget meeting, tens of thousands of Denverites were not represented by their Council members because there were no breaks during the 4 hour meeting, and key votes were missed because council members had to step outside for breaks due to there being no recesses.

FUNDING ALERT: Tonight is a big vote at City Council. Please reach out to your City Councilperson to Ask them to Support Safe Routes to Schools Funding and the Broadway Bike Lane Click here to email them: denverbicyclelobby.com/emails.html

Last month at the DOTI Advisory Board meeting, Director Ford said on the record that the Alameda Road safety project was going ahead. Now, DOTI is flip flopping again and changing professionally designed safety improvements to accommodate a wealthy NIMBY that complained to the manager.

Broadway bike lane missed the letter by one vote, and CM Kashmann was absent from the workshop. Probably going to run the amendment anyway, we encourage folks to reach out to Council and show their support. www.denverpost.com/2025/10/10/d...

Some of my favorite budget amendment proposals from our At Large councilperson @paradyatlarge.bsky.social This is pretty awesome! @burleyzack.bsky.social Was using the S Broadway lane today and still think about how big a miss this was from the bond. So happy to see this considered!

The @thewaroncars.bsky.social is coming to Denver again! Last time they had @kylec.bsky.social on stage and the head of the Colorado Auto Dealers Association tried to "just ask some questions" the group. It was fun! Get your tickets (and books now) www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

Gov. Polis is increasing the EV tax credit from $6,000 to $9,000. But lowering the e-bike credit from $450 to $225. www.denverpost.com/2025/10/02/c...

Transit is safer, cleaner, and cheaper than driving alone, yet only 4% of CDOT’s budget is dedicated to transit projects. Completing all seven unfunded BRT routes costs less than one highway widening project. It’s time to prioritize people over pavement. Learn more at: tinyurl.com/recaltrans

This could be the start of a useful north-south connection in denver’s most biked neighborhood!

Hey #BikeDEN heads up on a meeting this Thursday night.

“Why your next car should be an electric cargo bike” www.theverge.com/transportati...

Littleton rocking out with the Toronto style curbs for their protected bike lanes. Looking good! They join Boulder as the second city in the metro area to have bike lanes that protected with these popular barriers.

In an email to Lowell business owners in September, Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval told them she was “pushing back on this proposal.” coloradocommunitymedia.com/2020/11/13/c...

Both 46th Ave and Lowell at this intersection were supposed to be protected bike lanes. The 46th Ave PBL was cancelled and the Lowell PBL has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding. This is another crash in Denver that could have been prevented.

“No one uses the bike lanes!” “Actually, they do—just efficiently…You might not see it jammed with riders at rush hour like a car lane because—surprise!—bike lanes work. They move people quickly and cleanly. You just aren’t sitting behind them idling.” See article for more anti-bike comebacks.

Show up for community at one of these events.

My friend JUST got hit by a bike in front of STK. Luckily, they're okay since it was a low-speed collision (the driver was turning into the parking garage), but removing the posts was a terrible move. @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social @westword.com @denverite.bsky.social @yimbydenver.bsky.social

We send our thoughts to the family and friends of the person killed biking this weekend. Unfortunately, this crash was predictable. Neighbors have been asking for street safety infrastructure upgrades to W 14th Ave for years.

Public meeting on Tuesday night to support the zoo opening a new entrance for people that bike and walk. Come support it and pushback on NIMBYs Survey link here too: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

Who is stronger, the tennis lobby, or the bike lobby? www.denverpost.com/2025/08/28/d...

Shout out to Councilwoman @fl0werpower.bsky.social for calling for the devolution of Federal Blvd. Federal is the heart of the Westside and should be treated like a Main Street instead of a highway. youtu.be/yq6KBIm0Xpo?...

Biking in Paris? Biking in Amsterdam? We approve.

CDOT open house this evening on the future of the 23rd Ave. and Speer Blvd. Bridges over I25. Come see their proposed designs and give feedback on the biking and walking components.

“Devin Mason joined the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure in 2022. He wore multiple hats, like leading the city’s shared bikes and scooters program and DOTI’s participation in Bike to Work Day. For him, being a public servant was a point of pride.” denverite.com/2025/08/21/w...
