I think folks vastly underestimate the cost of car ownership. I had a friend who just bought a Toyota 4runner and it cost like $2500 just to register it and then she needed new tires so that was like another $1000. Stuff adds up real quick.

I found unplugging from national news helped my mental a ton. There is to much to worry about and I don’t think as humans we are supposed to consume so much β€œnews” all the time. If you can even call it news. Hang in there and ride your bike!

Welcome to America where we wonder why no one takes transit…

While peer transit agencies across the country return to pre-pandemic ridership levels, RTD is still 45 million riders below its 2019 ridership total.

There have been trailers and other vehicle stored in the parking lot for years

The communism of removing zoning and parking restrictions to allow people to build what they want.

You can’t have good public transportation without good land use. These cities are refusing to do the ladder and then complaining about their the lack of RTD services.

Just allow density around transit. How hard can it be…

Shout out to the new RTD board members for pushing for more ambitious short term goals. A new tone has been set and I feel real change is coming.

2 forms of transportation, both parked at the same coffee shop. One looks like it should be at Monster Jam, the other looks like it should be at...a coffee shop.

Removing parking minimums makes it easier for all builders and developers to build the structures they want. Letting the market decide how much parking is really needed not some outdated β€œstandard”.

I agree with that. It seems like it would be a hard battle to fight. People freak out when they can’t see the mountains but idk isn’t that what all the open space is for.

We let the city be the city and the open spaces be open spaces.

I think removing or raising the high limit would be politically impossible in Boulder. However there is still so much opportunity for infill development.

Clear roads for drivers and excuses for everyone else.

How would someone with a mobility device cross over these mounds of snow?

This is a brand new protected intersection near a major university. What a joke.

I echo GDT’s points about this meeting.

Limiting the public’s ability to speak while allowing the GM/CEO to speak with no pushback is how we got to this point in the first place.

I encourage our RTD board members to reconsider these goals to more aligned with what voters indicated they want.

Turns out you don’t need to drive a 5000 lbs SUV to drop a package off at the post office

Adding to the fun. This is outside a thrift store and they assume everyone who goes to the thrift store has a car…

I think @bouldercolorado.bsky.social should change up its website to feature a "Guide to Biking" and "Guide to Transit" right on the home page rather than a "Guide to Parking"

Design choices like this show us what our cities real priorities are.

@ryanwithboulder.bsky.social what do you think?
