About

Streetsblog Denver publishes news and commentary about safe streets, effective transit, and walkable development in the Mile High City. Denver is growing at a rapid pace, and it desperately needs streets and transportation policy that respond to these changes with intelligence and foresight.

While there’s a huge grassroots appetite for walkable, bikeable neighborhoods and excellent transit access, for the most part the city’s streets remain stuck in the cars-first status quo. Working with an energetic advocacy community and the support of dedicated readers, Streetsblog Denver aims to change that.

Streetsblog Denver is part of the Streetsblog family of websites. Since 2006, Streetsblog has covered the movement to transform our cities by reducing dependence on private automobiles and improving conditions for walking, biking, and transit. Our reporters have broken important stories about transit funding, pedestrian safety, and bicycle policy from day one. And our writing makes arcane topics like parking prices and induced traffic accessible to a broad audience.

Today, hundreds of thousands of readers rely on Streetsblog, and our online community is the connective fiber for people all over the country working to make their streets safer and more sustainable. Streetsblog USA, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and the national Streetsblog Network connect local, grassroots livable streets advocates with one another and to a national movement for reform.
