What Should We Name the New Front Range Train? Plus, Veo’s Scooter Takeover
Big changes might be coming to Denver’s scooter and bike share scene – the city chose a new operator, Veo, and if city council signs off on the deal, Lime and Bird are out of the picture. Joining host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi is Andy Cushen, co-host of the Denver Urbanism podcast, to discuss what this impending shift means for everyday scooter and bike share users, plus the future of Lime’s very popular equity access program. Then, a sales tax increase could land on November’s ballot that would fund a Front Range Passenger Rail – but before that happens, boosters want Coloradans to pick a name for the train. Will having a cute moniker for the rail line endear voters to say yes to a sales tax increase?
