Hoping, praying that DOTI + CDOT don't see this and get any ideas

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.

Someone find that account that overlays the chart of every bad metric you can think of with the Reagan administration.

It’s almost kinda surprising how often you look into the origin of some issue and surprise! it’s Ronald Regan

@TheCharlier @NoSquish I know of the most insane 1/4 mile of useless bike lane you have ever seen. Just pure stats boosting.
English
Denver is slowly making its streets safer for bicycling. But the 125-mile figure is inflated. Sharrows are not improvements and "bikeways" are only minor upgrades. You cannot compare this data with other cities with more ambitious programs (see eg Boston). axios.com/local/denver/2…

I’m properly annoyed by a specific board member on the new Front Range rail district. Why the hell would someone propose a 2 year term limit for board members on such a big, and complex project? The person who suggested it still doesn’t understand what their purpose is lol

5% of people ride bicycles, so we can't do anything for them.
5% of people drive electric cars, so we're planning a national charging network.

@BryanByBike Thanks for looking me in. What time?

Anyone interested in meeting up with #GoatheadGreg Tuesday AM?
We are planning to meet near Confluence Park and then ride out to the intersection of Cherry Creek & Highline Canal trails.
The plan from there will depend upon the number of volunteers.

There’s one cyclist in Denver, a superhero of sorts, who made it his one-man mission to rid the city’s bike trails of troublesome goathead seeds. His name is Greg Skomp — or, Goathead Greg. buff.ly/3BIkHbJ

@bikeinCO The worst part is that she is absolutely right

@opinonhaver @brianbeutler It's possible to walk a lot in cities that have lots of cars. I live in one of those cities. And with the right planning, pedestrians, cyclists, public transit, and drivers of personal cars can coexist safely and efficiently. True.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

Friend just texted me that he went to Europe for 2 weeks, drank like an animal, ate whatever he wanted and lost 10 lbs. Europe proves you can be a degenerate and still be healthy…there’s something destroying our metabolism in the USA.

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.
English
@antistuff I guess when you're used to no law enforcement at all, even the tiniest bit feels like oppression.
English
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
English
So when I ask #BikeDEN if they "reported" something and no one responds, may I assume the answer is no b/c at best they only tweeted about it?

Steer clear of Speer and Downing multiple vehicle crash. Worst I’ve seen here. Hey @DenverPolice we have speeding problem in this town.

@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?
English
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.

This is pretty nuts given our Guv’s transportation plan depends on a huge adoption of EV’s to meet his climate goals. And he won’t even drive one. Doubly painful that he refused to fund transit so Coloradans are forced to drive their combustion engines ever more miles.

Polis: "I drive an internal combustion engine, and I'm proud to." He said this after asking Ganahl whether she has a Tesla (she does). Ganahl said people can't afford electric cars. #copolitics
