Why does DaVita get to settle?
I regularly commute via skateboard, and I am elated about the recent rise in popularity of escooters.
I find Denver to be a very carcentric city, and many inhabitants of our roads are intolerant and oblivious to everything that isn’t a car.
I get no respect as a pedestrian or skateboarder; people yell profanity out of their cars at me every week, when I know I’m following the rules (multiple representatives of the Denver Police Department have confirmed that skateboarders can be regarded like pedestrians or bicyclists).
I love anything that raises the potential awareness of our drivers on the roads, because I feel as vulnerable as ever out there!
Get off your phones and drive, Denver! Scoot or die!
Denver Mayor Hancock recently released his proposed 2019 budget, which is now under review by City Council.
One component of the proposed budget is funding for various projects and initiatives geared toward improving mobility across the city.
Kids and families in all neighborhoods should have complete sidewalks and safe streets built not just for cars, but also for walking and biking.
People friendly streets will help increase physical activity, decrease accidents and make our streets safer.
Forty percent of Denver’s streets have missing or substandard sidewalks.
Funding for active transportation including sidewalks, crosswalks, curb cuts, bike lanes and other traffic calming measures improve our streets for all users.
As a community, we can work together to demonstrate the need for continued and increased funding for Denver’s sidewalks
Your frontpage story of DaVita paying $270 million “to settle allegations” is the perfect example of crime and punishment in this country.
The street thug goes to jail.
The corporations pay back some of what they took from the people.
The DaVita scheme was probably planned and implemented by a small group of people around a single table.
Possibly the decision was made by one person alone. Why aren’t these perpetrators charged?
