  • I’d really like to see fiber and banking as services at the municipal level that could lilely pay for themselves. However services needing to support themselves encourages short term solutions. Libraries, parks, and schools are unlikely to turn a profit but are critical to providing a minimum quality of life. Public transportation investment pays off over decades not a financial quarter and provides long term tangible benefits to the city beyond the fare box. If it pays for itself it’s a no brainier, but many things that cost more than they make or have long term payoffs that are hard to measure are critically important.













  • The Johnson transition team recommends 20mph for through roads and 10mph for residential. Traffic enforcement is low but these speed limit adjustments would raise the amount of drivers being considered criminal drivers with serious consequences. Right now you can be going 55 mph on a city street and still only be considered for a trivial fine despite creating violent and dangerous situations. The signs indicate the maximum speed you are supposed to go but most drivers treat it as a minimum. It’s almost like people consider driving a right. It’s a privilege and you should have to strictly follow the rules of the road of you want to keep a license.









  • I also ride a aluminum hybrid bike from working bikes. I try to do the majority of my local trips by bike and also really enjoy group rides. I’ve been working to improve bike infrastructure on the southwest side. Really excited because CDOT is currently working with us and we also have a supportive alder for the first time.
