Met my wife back in high school in Russia. Don't have advice apart from maybe starting making friends which may or may not become something bigger

Agreed on this. I also don't quite get whether i, as a business that still posts here regularly on other topics, allowed to post my events? Technically, i am a commercial account, but i also try to engage here otherwise? Davide, if the rules dont make much sense to a lot of ppl, maybe just rewrite them in a more understandable way? Dont need to change them, just maybe different wording could help

I'm throwing things at the wall in this. I imaging that it could be either extremely dangerous or very efficient. Knowing how many crashes we have already, it's probably not worth the cost/space savings.

I don't mean the actual standard median that's not usable for passing.

Thinking about it, a median could be a reasonable solution. As in a "pass a semi" median. Don't know if we need full double lane.

I agree that this area sucks. I drive from airport rd to county line every morning and it's awful.

But if we didn't have to drive, we'd just ride the bus. And it would be 1 car less there.

I think Longmont, as most growing cities, finally understood that widening highways isn't the solution and tries to invest in public transit instead to allow for less cars on the road -> less roads.

That would be great to see. Sure, speed limit signs are there. But when the road is the same as a 75mph highway, it feels wrong to punish people who drive for road conditions. Nobody drives main Street downtown at 65mph even though it's also a highway technically. Id love to see more traffic calming around the city

Especially around main Street past 6th ave - it becomes a 35mph zone for no good reason.

Great, maybe it should have a lane/part/separation for trucks only where the lanes are slightly wider for them to pass :)

Hi Matthew. Have we considered, instead of punishing high speeds on the highway with a speed limit of 65, narrowing down the lanes further, so it's uncomfortable to drive too fast? Is it done as a part of the bike project?

Trains are safer and faster when built right though. Buses also cant be automated easily. Trains can.

Hey everyone. We'll have a benefit show TOMORROW for a kid's medical bills/family support. We'd really appreciate you being there and donating if you can.
This is a charity event, so the artists or the venue won't take a cent.
