“Denver’s most known commercial corridors — Tennyson Street, South Pearl, South Broadway, Colfax and more — are destinations today because of that urban planning effort 100 years ago.

So there’s a little irony here …that the old rail has been exposed by an effort to improve transit in the city.”

Denverite · Colfax's old streetcar tracks are peeking through its construction chaosPreparing Colfax for a Bus Rapid Transit future is unveiling a slice of the street's past.

CDOT is going to spend $300M on Federal #BRT in #Denver, not on the bus but on widening the road so that drivers dont lose a lane. then for two miles they're just leaving the bus stuck in traffic bc they can't widen the road. so all this money being spent and no improved transit. then they'll be upset that no one is riding the very expensive bus that's stuck in traffic. weaponized incompetence.
