Better Buses Inbound! Plus, How Will Denargo Market Reshape RiNo?
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
It’s Tuesday, and we’re talking about all the local stories that matter this week. First, local officials are officially hyped about BRT, aka “bus rapid transit” aka the hottest thing in public transportation! Local, state, and federal officials gathered recently to talk about all the exciting new bus rapid transit projects coming to the Denver metro, but something was missing. Producer Paul Karolyi is looking into the story behind the press conference with our green chile and politics correspondent Justine Sandoval. Plus, they piece together the truth behind all those weird Denargo Market questions that fewer than a hundred Denverites voted on last week. And finally, we address a listener comment on our episode about the crackdown on unauthorized weed parties and ask, are “white weed bros” really the problem? For more on the old Denargo Market, Paul wrote this short history, including a cameo from Jack Kerouac, for our newsletter Hey Denver recently. We also learned more about how metropolitan districts work and how prevalent they are in Denver in this article from the Denver Post. What do you think about BRT? Or the future of RiNo?
