in denver, $500k could pay for:
- yearly salary for 8 rec center employees
- a new sidewalk for up to ~15-20 blocks
- ~2.5k bike racks
- ~260 ADA compliant ramps
- ~18 raised high-vis crosswalks
bloated police budgets make our streets unequivocally less safe. and yet but still
Denver to pay $500,000 to settle misconduct lawsuits against police officers, sheriff’s deputies

the very top earners working at denver rec centers make $2k less than an entry level DPD officer
*all* rec center employees provide infinitely more community value & safety than any cop ever has
City of Denver says it IS NOT laying off employees to pay for the migrant crisis
But the city IS telling hourly employees they may have their hours reduced to zero
For now, It could impact coaches, lifeguards, front desk staff etc. at rec centers
But don't call them layoffs...
