Both Governor Jared Polis and Mayor Mike Johnston are very excited that Waymo is bringing self-driving cars to the Mile High. But what will these autonomous vehicles mean for our already congested streets? And where will they park??? Probably not along Colfax, as BRT construction is eating up spaces and business owners are stressed about it. Host Bree Davies is joined by Jill Locantore, executive director of Denver Streets Partnership, to talk about Waymo’s relationship to pedestrian safety and share her big idea that could change Denver’s parking scarcity mindset. 

Bree and Jill talked about the Denver Streets Partnership’s East Colfax parking management study and what a parking benefits district could look like.
