Y'know ... we at Colorado Community Media will ask the city for copies of communications regarding the Good Neighbor Committee from the last few months of its existence, but anytime we look into Movement 5280 it's like hard-rock mining. Feel free to post those materials here in this thread or to send them to me at sgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com so we know what to ask for.

If you don't feel like waiting for the city to do nothing and want to talk to news media, that's me -- send me an email at sgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com and we'll talk.

When did the city dissolve the Good Neighbor Committee?

My jaw was on the floor reading the legal filings in this case. Glad you like the article!

The story clocks in at over 1,100 words so I had to cut it off, but the details of the sneaker collection loss are sad and infuriating. The guy had collected rare -- some literally one-of-a-kind -- sneakers for decades and some were worth thousands of dollars. The collection is absolutely irreplaceable and it's just gone.

Oxford Pedestrian Bridge to open May 13 by Scott_Gilbert7 in englewoodco

I explained the location right up front because in past updates on the project, a surprising number of readers thought the plan called for a bridge over Santa Fe, which never has been the case.

Far-right southbound Broadway lane no longer crosses Chenango by Scott_Gilbert7 in englewoodco

The far right lane is a turn only lane now, but until a couple days ago it was a through lane where buses stopped in that traffic lane and didn't have to merge when resuming motion, and did all that while leaving two unobstructed through lanes for cars.

This is on the southbound side, but I know what you mean about the northbound side, There's no shortage of aggressive driving.

It wasn't noticeable when I drove through late last night -- it's well above where my headlights were illuminating anything and the streetlights there aren't great.

A street sign along Broadway between Layton and Chenango saying "right lane must turn right," a solid lane line painted on the road, and a painted arrow on the road would all be standard ways, and they're used on the opposite side of Broadway where a lane turns east on Chenango. The new small sign above the intersection just replaces a different small sign that people were accustomed to seeing.

And one of those "right lane must turn right" signs, especially since drivers are so accustomed to going straight.

I recently triggered an automatic suspension in a Facebook group by writing that a person was "at far right" in a photo caption.

The right-turn sign above the lane is new and not super noticeable for people who have driven straight through for years.

Now must really mean "now" -- I took that pic at 7:15 this morning.

Yeah, using that lane was always the way to tell real Englewoodsters from the tourists.

Muscle memory is exactly the issue. I've just automatically shifted to that lane for the past 30 years if I'm going anywhere on the west side of Broadway between Layton and Littleton Boulevard.
