Denverites Fleeing to Mexico, Gov. Polis’s Big Beautiful Bridge, and the New RiNo Rhino’s Real Name
City Cast DenverAbout this episode
The debate over Gov. Jared Polis’ proposal to build an elevated walkway outside the Capitol has taken a turn, and for the first time he wants to hear what you think . So host Bree Davies is talking about the governor’s new survey with producer Olivia Jewell Love and our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval about what this new survey is all about. Plus, why are Denverites in particular clamoring to move to Mexico lately? And why are they particularly susceptible to scammers? Plus, our wins and fails of the week. Bree talked about the passing of Colorado poet laureate Andrea Gibson , the California Pizza Kitchen in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, and the Sonic in Edgewater . Justine talked about accessibility at Rocky Mountain National Park , Margaret Atencio , and wildlife crossings, which are increasingly popular across Colorado. Olivia talked about this post on r/Denver about the patios at DIA and EV technician training in Aurora Goodwill. What do you think we should call the new Rhino in RiNo? We want to hear from you!
