i live in denver. winters are getting warmer and drier but the summers lately have been very very hot and wayyy too much smoke from fires. still amazing weather though! you're right on the traffic it's always sucked but not as bad as like LA of course. with the population growth it goes right back into highways.. always building/expanding ;( i feel like in theory we should be super bike/walk friendly; if Minneapolis can build bike highways that are used in the dead of winter we should be able too. but we don't. my neighbors prioritize and fight politically for street parking. you can't even see into intersections because they let cars park right up to the edge. they're trying to make a street near me a bike corridor - put in fake roundabouts - but it's not a protected lane and they still have parking on the street ffs. the light rail should have been more promising too. we do have good buses though and the train to airport is nice. maybe can someday finish the boulder extension. we're building a ton of condos in the center of denver so i really hope we get more pedestrian first voters. And also please let's keep outdoor dining/drinking post COVID. take back the streets from cars! I don't drive and live purposefully where i can walk or uber. it's great unless you go to the mounatins a lot. i supported a mayoral candidate who really wanted to restore the street cars - it makes a ton of sense would love to see it return on a few of the major streets like colfax downtown to CU hospital.
