Glad he has kindness to save his life - because infrastructure is doing him no favors. Since Henry asked, let's look at this intersection - Holly and Evans. The latest Google image (Nov 2022) shows both curb ramps are angled...

Here's the one on the southwest side of the intersection where this man was walking from.

No ADA ramp, btw.

THREAD: On June 10, 2022 Christian Glass called 911 after his car got stuck on a road in Silver Plume.

70 minutes after Clear Creek County deputies arrived... he was dead.

Newly obtained body camera video is raising some serious questions about how police handled this call. Image In a 911 call, obtained by 9NEWS, 22-year-old Glass tells the call taker that he's stuck. He also appears to be delusional and paranoid, saying he's seeing skin-walkers and he might have to go kill them.

The call taker asks if he has any weapons... Image

QUICK THREAD: RTD's new police chief, Dr. Joel Fitzgerald, has had a tough few years leading up to his hiring by RTD.

It includes a still active whistleblower lawsuit in Texas and what appears to be some pretty serious racial tensions in his last job in Waterloo, Iowa... Fitzgerald made national headlines while in Waterloo.

He was the first Black chief in that predominantly white city and faced a lot of external backlash for changes he made, including removing a griffin that resembled a KKK dragon from the dept's logo.

🧵A #HeyNext viewer asked a question: What ever happened to the old #GoAvsGo mascot: Howler the Yeti?

And it sent me down a fantastic rabbit hole this afternoon.

Join me.... Howler was the Avs first mascot when the franchise moved to Denver from Quebec City. He's the reason the classic Avalanche sweaters have a foot patch on the shoulder.

Then all of a sudden... around the turn of the century... Howler disappeared...

.@RideRTD told me today that it's tough to find a correlation between gas prices and transit ridership. They do point to 2008 though - when gas prices skyrocketed to $4 a gallon over the summer and ridership shot up too.

Credit to @fake_dante for this cool graph... "The idea that gas prices and ridership are highly interrelated was gutted in 2014, when gas prices fell but ridership stayed about the same," @lauriesstory told me by e-mail today.

She also pointed out that nationally - as gas prices have risen, transit ridership declined...

More detail on this... CDOT now says this man was on board a Greyhound Bus headed eastbound around 3:20. CDOT says he was kicked off the bus in the parking lot on the west side of the tunnels (near the eastbound lanes).... According to Hoover, the man tried to gain access to a mountain residence building for CDOT workers on the west side of the tunnel - but couldn't.

Sometime before 5... this man was seen crossing westbound traffic and walking into the Eisenhower tunnel....

NEW: We're going through body camera video of the arrest of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. After Peters is escorted out, she continues to accuse officers of hurting her. An officer suggests she "stand up like an adult"

Peters: "Shut up. What an a**h*** thing to say to me." As officers place Peters in a patrol car, Peters, who'd been loudly accusing officers of hurting her for several minutes, lowers her voice and asks if officers know what they're really doing... "You're assisting Merrick Garland to not show truth about election machines."

NEW: By a 3-2 vote, Adams County Commissioners join Douglas County in opting out of the @TCHDHealth public health order mandating masks in schools. #9News #HeyNext Interesting comment from Eva Henry, chair of the board, responding to Comissioner Emma Pinter’s suggestion that the board support recommendations from the health department it trusted with making this decision…

Henry said by allowing an opt out - @TCHDHealth made it political.

I just bought an e-bike to commute to and from work. I plan on riding it to the light rail station...then riding from the light rail station to work...doing some quick calculations...

I'll do it 3 days a week. RTD doesn't run late enough when I work weekend nights...(thread) My Mazda CX-5 gets about 28 mpg on my typical commuting pattern...(not on the sticker - I mean what the actual MPG gauge tells me).

Gas in Colorado right now is on average...about $3.63/gallon.

My commute to work is roughly 12.5 each way.

🧵 I’ll never forget this day. I was going into my senior year in high school. I was in a guitar lesson at the Music Castle on Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, MI. The power went out - we thought it was people across the street setting up for the Woodward Dream Cruise…. My instructor finished my lesson acoustically, we walked out of the little studio and I overheard the owner of the shop listening to @WWJ950 on a battery-powered radio. The anchor said there were reports of power out along the entire east coast….

NEW: The Rockies tell me last night’s incident was a fan shouting to get the attention of the Rockies mascot Dinger, not a racial slur. The Rockies have spoken to the fan who confirms this is the case. They’ve also reviewed video from the local broadcast. #9News Here's the video by the way. I've highlighted both the fan and Dinger in the the first clip, then zoomed in on the fan in the second clip. And Dinger in the third.

THREAD: Let me attempt to walk you through this word salad we just received from the state of Colorado....

We asked them about the 5 Star Program, which allows certified businesses within counties to jump up a restriction level if they pass an inspection. #COVID19colorado Technically that would mean counties that are shifting to orange tomorrow would be able to let 5 Star Businesses move to yellow. For example, that might mean a restaurant could allow 50% capacity inside a dining room instead of 25%....
