Not Everybody Hates Gov. Polis’ Big Bridge Idea


Listen Later

When 9News’ Kyle Clark was on the podcast last week talking about Governor Jared Polis’ new proposal to build an elevated pedestrian walkway outside the Capitol, he said that the most telling weakness of the proposal was the fact that no one was making a good argument for it. So we found two people who are really excited about the project to make the case. Host Bree Davies sits down with local AAA spokesperson and Capitol insider Skyler McKinley and Bree’s friend, artist Moe Gram, who is contracted for community engagement work on the bridge project. 

Skyler mentioned a proposal for a different kind of pedestrian bridge in Civic Center Park from back in 2006.
