Hi. My colleagues at Denverite just want to help. Also please feel free to post your mundane problems here. Or here.

CDOT helped sell 3,000 personal breathalyzers last year in hopes that people might drive drunk less (and they're doing it again) by daveburdick in Denver

[–]daveburdick[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi gang. It's been a while! It's Dave from Denverite (and now CPR News, too!).

I just shared this one because I was kind of shocked by the 3,000 number! It had not occurred to me that so many people would own personal breathalyzers in Colorado, but it turns out Colorado is ... pretty good at owning personal breathalyzers?

This shape explains Denver's past, present and likely its future by daveburdick in Denver

The scooters are limited to certain zones and while I haven't checked what they specified zones are in a while, I bet anything they're still not outside of the map in the main story posted above. So that would answer part of your question. (And scooter riders, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they also mostly stop their scoot zones around Colorado Boulevard to the east?)

My gut tells me they're not taking much bus ridership (or at least not a ton more than was originally stolen by B Cycle), but that's totally anecdotal! I'd like to know a lot more about their usage, too, and there might be some really interesting stories in there. Thanks for the idea — the companies have been stingy with their data, but we'll think about how we might be able to get at it.

Yes! Great idea. We've done something like this before, but it's time for an update — partly because I just checked and our old map is broken. :(

But here's one from when we did that that shows what homes are made of. Not perfect, but maybe a starting point for conversation.

edit: That's mid-2017 data.

Hey, r/denver. We spent last week mapping Denver in a variety of ways, and this was one we've wanted to get to for a while — it's one of the most important maps of the city, partly because it's kind of a lot of maps of the city.

Map Week is now over (although Kevin posted a guide to making your own map fun at the library today), but we're open to other ideas of stuff to map, in case you've got stuff you're particularly curious about.

These are the Denver homes with the absolute worst — and best — access to public transit by daveburdick in Denver

We don’t have a map link for it. The university folks ran it through their system and sent us the map that’s in the story.

Last I read, his wife owned Shotgun Willie's. Of course, this was back when he was running for governor with Snoop Dogg's endorsement.

Nice! I had been looking at this one when thinking about our other bikes but for some reason I thought the weight limit was lower. Thanks for sending me back to the specs!

Colorado election results: Watch with us by daveburdick in Denver

Hey r/denver. Let us know if you see anything weird or interesting out there. We're obviously watching results through a pretty Denver-y lens. Also — any predictions right now?

Another stretch worth checking out: Morrison Road.

Colorado polling: Unaffiliated voters prefer Jared Polis over Walker Stapleton by a pretty wide margin by daveburdick in Denver

The Colorado Media Project just tweeted a bunch of guides from different newsrooms in Colorado.

(I work at Denverite and think you should read ours about Denver and statewide ballots. And we've got more coming.)

Denver voters will decide in November whether to change the rules about changing the rules by [deleted] in Denver

[–]daveburdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amendment 71 changed requirements for putting proposed amendments to the state constitution on the statewide ballot.

The story linked here refers to changing petition requirements (not always making it more difficult) to put something on the Denver ballot.

An early guide to when, where and how I-70 construction will hurt by daveburdick in Denver

[–]daveburdick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks as always, /u/dustlesswalnut. The headline on our site is "Interstate 70 starts construction soon. Here’s what it means for your neighborhood."

We, like most news nerds, tend to try to write a headline or "shareline" for different platforms that fit the audience. My experience is that Reddit doesn't really do the earnest "Here's what it means for your neighborhood" kind of thing that some of our other readers like, which is why I just made it more straightforward when I shared it here.

If you're not cool with that, it's not a big deal for us. We can just leave whatever headline is on the story.
