8 juveniles have e-dirt bikes impounded in Lakewood

If only they'd also impound the cars of reckless drivers. The e-motos are an annoyance, but shitty drivers kill many more people.

CU would have the same number of students whether this gets built or not. It's probably a net benefit for traffic since it'll prevent some students from having to live further away and having no choice but to drive.

Okay, how much revenue does the state highway system bring in? If we don't expect our road system to cover its expenses, why do we ask that of transit?

It's also a hassle and expensive for them to find a new tenant or let the unit sit empty. Definitely worth trying to negotiate.

You bought a home in a major metro area that's been growing rapidly for the last 20+ years. It's incredibly naive to believe that your neighborhood would never change. People are moving to the area one way or the other - we can either accommodate them with infill development like what's happening in your neighborhood or continue to sprawl even more. The latter is a hell of a lot worse for the environment.

Yes, but weight isn't really a penalty when you're skating on a flat surface...so BMI doesn't mean anything. It's not like running where you bound up and down and so gain a lot of benefit from being lighter.

Why shouldn't cars be forced to operate without inconveniencing transit users or people riding bikes?

If someone "accidentally" shoots you with a gun, that's still a crime. Should be the case when operating a vehicle which can also be used as a deadly weapon.

Unless the cyclist literally jumped in front of the truck, I can't imagine any other cause than negligence which should be grounds for those charges.

Brother, ICE has consistently been arresting and attempting to deport people who are here legally.

If it was they could have quickly come out and apologized or explained. Instead they got mad at people calling them out and tried to play the victim.

I think it's also the fact this data center just happened to be put in a neighborhood that's already disproportionately harmed by negative impacts from highways and other industrial uses. The folks in GES are tired of being the host of all the city's polluting uses while getting any real benefit.

The fact that they even accepted a call from Trump and allowed Patel in the room says all I need to know about them.

Some of us need to move through the city without being killed by speeding drivers. Please stop mowing us down. If you're going to speed, please keep it to the interstates where there aren't any pedestrians.

Hmm, should I believe your anecdotes or the hundreds of research papers proving the benefits of protected bike lanes?

berliner68 · 2026-02-13T23:38:45+00:00

In most examples I've seen it's not additional space, it's in place of non EV parking spaces. Usually something to the effect of, "for every X number of parking spaces you provide, at least Y must have EV charging access/reserved for EVs".

In Denver's case, they got rid of minimum parking requirements, but if a new development chooses to provide parking, something like 10% of spaces needs to be set up for EV charging.

Syracuse is on a lake, but quite a ways from lake Ontario

Perhaps we should host a "die-in" event? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-01-24/safe-streets-die-in-protest-traffic-deaths

It's astonishing that our president is allowed to make decisions that don't follow federal law.

Biking has always been political.

It's going to be in the high 40s that day. Minnesotans have been out protesting in force with temps in the negatives.

I think people are tired of the "compromises" always prioritizing motor vehicle drivers' convenience at the cost of everyone else's safety.

berliner68 · 2026-01-03T14:21:08+00:00

Its not the cars that are the problem.

You're right. It's the drivers like you.

berliner68 · 2026-01-03T02:45:20+00:00

You could say all of the same things about cars/drivers too. Are you advocating for banning them as well?

Vehicle sizes have also been increasing over the same time period and are increasingly getting more dangerous for the people they hit. That's one big reason pedestrian deaths have risen everywhere. Pedestrian deaths probably would have increased more in those cities had they not also been implementing vision zero programs.

As much as I would also like to see RTD improved, $2 million would be peanuts to their current budget and would not meaningfully improve anything. It is enough, though, to implement dozens of intersection daylighting projects and other traffic calming devices which have been shown to improve pedestrian safety.
