DenverUrbanism has a new podcast! Come check out all the details here: denverinfill.com/2024/02/introd…
Come on @CSP_News. There is no emergency situation happening downtown. And being parked here for over 24 hours is creating an ever larger safety issue for bikers in the city.
denverinfill.com/2023/11/populu… The facade is starting to go up on Populus!
Road diet measures just installed on 15th Street at Blake reducing the number of through lanes. And in coordination with the new bike lane on Blake.
Another of the new Blake Street protected bike lane ❤️
Protected bike lanes and transit-only lanes are going in on Blake and Market streets in Lower Downtown Denver! #bike #transit #sustainability #VisionZero
Shame on you Shamrock Foods.
What if every time a person is killed by a motorist, the street where it happens is permanently shut down to cars and trucks and becomes a green space/bikeway/pedestrian-filled public space? What would our city be like in a decade?
"Local control" is a nice abstract concept but it is just completely insane to allow a housing shortage crisis to spiral out of control in service of a nice abstract concept.
Over a decade ago, I worked w/ then-State Rep @pettersen4co to pass the 2013 gun package. Today, I am proud to have earned the Gun Sense Distinction from @MomsDemand. There is more we can do at the city-level to stop the cycle of violence & address root causes of gun violence
YIMBY Denver is excited to support HB23-1255, which would prohibit the enforcement of anti-growth laws that restrict the growth of Colorado's housing stock! Thank you @RubyForColorado, @WSLindstedt and @SenadoraJulie for co-sponsoring this fantastic piece of legislation! #coleg
Monday morning thoughts 🧵: No one development project will solve our affordable housing crisis or halt suburban sprawl. No one bus lane or bike lane or sidewalk will eliminate traffic fatalities or reduce car dependency. No one park will stop climate change.
@RepEpps Disappointed. We gain no benefits keeping a 150-acre defunct golf course, but we gain huge social and environmental benefits by having 1000s of needed homes + jobs/services in a walkable, mixed-use, higher-density community next to a 100-acre park close to an RTD train station.
@samuelbrasch Ped+bike+transit+public spaces+dense mixed-use development are necessary to create a safe, vibrant, equitable, sustainable pedestrian-oriented city. We built cities that way for millennia before cars. It's the only way forward. Our next mayor must make that their defining legacy.
What do you guys think of our new yard sign design?🤔 #YesOn2O
This year, as the state legislature brings a historic focus to housing affordability in Colorado, it's crucial that Denver elects a mayor who will fight for policies that will bring an end to the housing shortage. We are proud to endorse @MikeJohnstonCO for Mayor of Denver.
We have a moral obligation to end people living on the street. As Mayor, I will build 1,400 units of safe, dignified housing in 10-20 micro communities across the City that provide mental health and addiction services. We know this works. Here’s how we do it:
Honored to receive the @Yimbyindenver endorsement! We have so much work to do to boost the stock of housing, especially at affordable rates, in Denver. Abundant and accessible housing is foundational to smart and sustainable growth in our city.
Honored to receive the @Yimbyindenver endorsement! We have so much work to do to boost the stock of housing, especially at affordable rates, in Denver. Abundant and accessible housing is foundational to smart and sustainable growth in our city.
This year, with a historic focus on housing affordability at the state legislature, it's crucial that we elect strong local leaders that will support policies fighting to end the housing shortage. So it’s time to announce the first round of YIMBY Denver endorsements!
Please sign this petition to have CDOT/Denver DOTI pause the next phase of I-25/Broadway reconstruction and redesign it to prioritize bike/ped safety and comply with Denver's sustainability plans and policies. secure.everyaction.com/AKAqNTk1hUqRNI…

@MayorHancock @DenCityCouncil This statement is disappointing and disingenuous. You’ve had your chances -repeatedly- and failed. Time to listen to the State of Colorado.
@MayorHancock @DenCityCouncil Removing restrictions that prevent people from building what they want on their property isnt top down. Your home rule has led to sprawling development out to the airport, and a deeper housing debt than you inherited.
What if every time a person is killed by a motorist, the street where it happens is permanently shut down to cars and trucks and becomes a green space/bikeway/pedestrian-filled public space? What would our city be like in a decade?
"Local control" is a nice abstract concept but it is just completely insane to allow a housing shortage crisis to spiral out of control in service of a nice abstract concept.
there has been great research on this -- citing below, efforts to improve affordability in a community must include some form of by-right development to be effective. housingtoolkit.nmhc.org/wp-content/upl…
Here's another benefit of SB23-213 for small gov fans. Moving housing approvals to use by right, non discretionary hearings saves a ton of money for local gov's. At scale it reduces thousands of superfluous labor hours that must be paid for. @COBuildsBetter @CO_Municipal
I want this quote on my headstone
“Nobody’s tried to stop me yet” @J_M_Warren
Over a decade ago, I worked w/ then-State Rep @pettersen4co to pass the 2013 gun package. Today, I am proud to have earned the Gun Sense Distinction from @MomsDemand. There is more we can do at the city-level to stop the cycle of violence & address root causes of gun violence
I’m honored & devastated to accept this from @MomsDemand. I’m proud of the gun violence prevention bills I’ve carried at #coleg. I was proud to pass more of those this week. I’m devastated it's not enough. I'll keep fighting for common-sense gun laws to keep our community safe.
YIMBY Denver is excited to support HB23-1255, which would prohibit the enforcement of anti-growth laws that restrict the growth of Colorado's housing stock! Thank you @RubyForColorado, @WSLindstedt and @SenadoraJulie for co-sponsoring this fantastic piece of legislation! #coleg
NEW: A bill proposed by @FaithWinterCO and @RepMegFroe would allow cities to use photo speed enforcement more - allowing local governments to create speed enforcement zones and removing a requirement that an officer or employee must be present in the van at the time...
Monday morning thoughts 🧵: No one development project will solve our affordable housing crisis or halt suburban sprawl. No one bus lane or bike lane or sidewalk will eliminate traffic fatalities or reduce car dependency. No one park will stop climate change.
Concept Plan filed 3/15 for 5-story hotel at 1637 Blake in LoDo with 278 rooms, 5,685 SF retail, and 0 parking. Site currently a parking lot. Similar proposal from 2019 never materialized (denverinfill.com/2019/04/new-pr…). Plans are subject to change and require approval by the city.
@RepEpps Disappointed. We gain no benefits keeping a 150-acre defunct golf course, but we gain huge social and environmental benefits by having 1000s of needed homes + jobs/services in a walkable, mixed-use, higher-density community next to a 100-acre park close to an RTD train station.
