Mayor Johnston on His Big New Idea to Fix Parking Downtown

from City Cast Denver · host City Cast

There’s one issue Denverites can never seem to agree on – parking. Does the city have too much or too little? Is parking too expensive or too cheap? Mayor Mike Johnston has his own idea of what’s wrong with parking in Denver, especially downtown, and he joins Westword editor-in-chief Patty Calhoun and producer Paul Karolyi today to discuss it. Plus, the mayor shares some thoughts on America’s semiquincentennial ahead of the Fourth of July holiday this weekend.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
