Friednash: Denver Public Schools leadership should resign

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:45 GMT

The sideshow has taken over the Denver Public School circus. The release of video footage from the board’s 5-hour illegal executive session in March provides yet another profound reason why this board and its leadership must resign and begin to restore the public’s trust and the institution’s integrity.After news outlets sued for recordings of the board’s crucial executive session, the trial judge held that the board violated the open meetings law by failing to notify the public about the topics school officials would discuss behind closed doors and then unlawfully crafting its public policy reinstating police officers to local schools.The board and its legal team fought for months to keep their unlawful shenanigans from the public. The board should have known on its own they were violating Colorado law in that executive session. But, it was malpractice for their counsel, Aaron Thompson, to repeatedly advise the board that they could have policymaking conversations behind closed doo...

Denver’s new City Council aims to slow, or even reverse, the trend of gentrification

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:45 GMT

Denver is a less diverse place than a decade ago. It’s a demographic shift that has played out in many of the city’s traditionally Black and Latino neighborhoods as tremendous population and economic growth has driven gentrification in previously marginalized corners of the city.But the makeup of the Denver City Council bucks that trend. Voters earlier this year elected perhaps the most diverse council in the city’s history, including six Latina members and two out-LGBTQ Black councilmembers. It’s a record amount of Latino representation on the Council regardless of gender, a near majority of that 13-member legislative body.Don’t expect those diverse leaders, hailing from districts spread all across the city, to agree on everything.But in interviews with councilmembers both new and returning, it’s clear there is substantial overlap on many priorities for the next four years. Denverites should expect a focus on efforts to stabilize low- and middle-...

The final ¡Viva! Streets cycling event is Sunday; organizers don’t know if it will return in 2024

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:45 GMT

Thousands of Denver cyclists got to traverse the city like cars do this year during events that shut down major streets to automobiles and turned them into bike-friendly pathways.Inspired by ciclovía events in Latin America, the ¡Viva! Streets series aimed to get residents out to engage with the Mile High City in a new way, increase foot traffic to local businesses and infuse some activity into downtown on Sunday mornings.By those metrics, Ellen Forthofer and Andrew Iltis of the Downtown Denver Partnership, which hosted the monthly series, consider ¡Viva! Streets to have been a success, even before the last event on Aug. 6.In May, about 10,000 people took to the roadways for ¡Viva! Streets and, in July, that tally was up to about 14,000, said Forthofer. The Downtown Denver Partnership decided to cancel the June event midway through because of the weather forecast and did not collect attendance estimates, she added.Cyclists ride down car-free Broadway near 12th Avenue in Denver, Colo...
