What's CITY Talking About?
🚍 Could Red Rocks Get a Public Shuttle Service?
Activists have been talking about it for years, and now local officials are seriously considering public transportation to and from the iconic amphitheater. The proposed shuttle service would ferry concertgoers from the W Line stop at the domed Jefferson County Government Center. At the same time, however, RTD is considering service reductions along the W Line that would have rail service stop before most concerts let out. [The Denver Post]
💰 Cracking Down on Unlicensed First Friday Art Sales
After receiving complaints from businesses along Santa Fe Drive, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure issued warnings to vendors who have been setting up unlicensed tables on the sidewalk. Fines for violating this law range from $150 for the first offense to $999 for repeated violations, but city officials say they prefer education to enforcement. [Westword]
🍺 Alpine Dog Brewery Closing, Again
Just 14 months after reopening at the site of the former Denver Bicycle Cafe, Alpine Dog Brewery is closing its doors on March 31. Founder Gardiner Hammond, who first opened Alpine Dog next to the Ogden in 2014, says they hope to sell the operation to an investor who will help the space live on as a brewery. [The Denver Post]
