Protect Safe Streets Funding

A fund created for safety is being treated like a slush fund

denverstreetspartnership.org

With 93 traffic deaths last year, it's clear Mayor Johnston isn't prioritizing street safety, but his new $5 downtown parking scheme—actively encouraging people to drive to go drinking—goes beyond unconcerned to downright dangerous. Instead of paying $5 for parking, consider the following:

"Preventable deaths and injuries in car crashes, unacceptable violent outcomes from the most common form of police community member contact — these are both public health crises . . . It’s an opportune time to learn from the progress we’ve made on both fronts, and to double down on that progress."

"The choice isn’t between supporting businesses and building better transit. We can, and should, do both. What Denver needs now isn’t hesitation. We need leadership that acknowledges short-term challenges, addresses them directly, and keeps our city moving forward, not stagnating."

Noticeably absent from the Mayor Johnston's "Vibrant Denver" dashboard? Any mention of traffic violence, even in the "safe" category.
