Does RTD's CEO 'Despise' Denver? Plus, Mayor Mike Takes on Parking and Elon Musk vs. Denver Water
Will Denver take the lead and embrace housing density? Or will car lovers prevail and get their coveted parking spots? It’s Friday, and we’re looking back at the news of the week — including Mayor Mike Johnston’s new plan for eliminating minimum parking requirements and CPR’s explosive story on RTD CEO Debra Johnson reportedly “despising” Denver. Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by fave guest Deep Singh Badhesha to dig into these parking and the messy politics of transit, as well as the Nuggets’ stinker of a loss, Elon Musk’s comments on a Denver Water project, and more wins and fails of the week.
Join Paul and Deep next Tuesday, December 17, at Town Hall Collaborative for some festive holiday fun and a live debate with candidates vying for the Senate District 31 vacancy. We’re bringing this traditionally secretive vacancy process out of the shadows! RSVP for free to save yourself a seat!

Paul talked about our show with CU Denver professor Ken Schroeppel about why he thinks Denver should enact parking maximums; he also discussed RTD’s new tap-to-pay system. Bree mentioned the passing of Barnum gardener and resident Kurtis Keele, the screening of Joshua Emerson’s documentary this weekend and his crowdfunding campaign, and the Latkes and Lights event at the JCC. Deep talked about the Nuggets’ embarrassing loss and the potential implications of Albertsons pulling out of the merger with Kroger in Oregon.
