A thread 🧵 of car-centric uses on E Colfax Avenue and their acreage. Working on a blog post about this. 1 acre surface parking lot at NE corner of Lincoln St and Colfax. 1/2 acre of tucked-under parking that leads to a surface lot behind NE corner of Grant St and Colfax.

@dannhave Until looking at the development plans, I had no idea this project included a grocery. Once this part of the neighborhood gets a grocery, I think people who vocally opposed this project might sheepishly retreat from their earlier statements.

Went on a walk and talk around Curtis Park with John and others yesterday, then ended a very warm afternoon walk with gelato at his new business in the neighborhood! Nice write-up in Westword. Check it out:

@sentientapathy IMO, unless we repeal TABOR (and 10x the volume of state/local government spending in Denver) there’s never going to be another urban/regional train line built for Denver. Litigation isn’t something I consider a meaningful obstacle
