What's CITY Talking About?
🏭 City Passes on Old Zuni Plant Purchase
Preservationists and neighbors have pushed city officials to acquire and repurpose the 122-year-old defunct power plant in Sun Valley. But apparently the reported $7.5 million price tag was too high for Mayor Johnston. If a different buyer doesn’t swoop in soon, the plant will likely be demolished. [Denverite]

🛴 Can Lime Earn Back Denver’s Trust?
Councilman Chris Hinds proposed some new regulations last week, citing a recent increase in scooter-related injuries and the clutter on our streets since fleets of the micromobility machines were unceremoniously deployed in 2018. So we asked Lime for an apology. [City Cast Denver 🎧]
🇺🇸 Micheal Bennet for Governor?
Two of Sen. Michael Bennet’s senior aides said that the senator is “very, very seriously” considering a run for Colorado governor in 2026. Bennet would join Attorney General Phil Weiser in the race for the Democratic nomination. [CO Sun]
⛔ Staff Walks Out at Bib Gourmand Restaurant
