Will Denver’s Car Culture Ever Change? Plus, Vision Zero, a ‘Diverging Diamond’ and a Spicy Prediction

The conversation around transportation in Denver can often feel like two steps forward, one step back. RTD built out a massive network of light rail lines thirty years ago, but now thousands of Denverites have abandoned the trains. Our elected officials talk a lot about ending traffic fatalities, but hesitate on making transformative changes to our streets. For almost ten years, Nate Minor has reported on Denver’s unique transportation quandaries and challenges, driving the conversation on everything from RTD to bike lanes. But now he’s leaving town for a job in Minnesota. So he’s back on with host Bree Davies one last time to look back and share a few predictions.

Nate mentioned Mayor Johnston’s comments on transportation on our show back in February.
