The car haters are firmly in control in Denver, but I did not realize they also have Colorado Springs. They are busy here stripping out car lanes for bike lanes nobody uses.

There is a ballot measure on today's ballot claiming to raise money for roads and schools. I have no doubt it is yet another bait and switch. People want roads and roads in good repair, but as soon as the politicians get their hands on the money, they spend it on their pet projects.

Light rail has never made it's projections. They are cannibalizing RTD bus service to pay for a rail system few people use. And they want to build more. Like Jon Caldera said when light rail was on the ballot, it would have been cheaper to buy every projected light rail rider a car.

CC is a blank check to the legislature. They lie, cheat, and steal.

Polis appointed 35-year-old Shoshana Lew as his new CDOT Executive Director, a history major with no background in engineering nor construction management..

She likes bike lanes, big buses, walking paths, light rail, and electric cars.

Are our darn roads even on her list?
