Kevin Nicholson+FollowLakeview rideshare struggles: Accessibility mattersFor many in Lakeview, getting an Uber is a quick convenience, but for Becca Shrier, it’s a daily challenge. Because of her disability, drivers often cancel or refuse to adjust their pickup spot—even when she’s clearly visible with her cane. She’s missed important appointments and social outings, all because the system isn’t set up to meet her needs. It’s a stark reminder that accessible transportation is still out of reach for many neighbors. Have you or someone you know faced similar issues with rideshares? What changes would actually make a difference? #Transportation #Lakeview #Accessibility00Share
umccall+FollowColfax eats: Family restaurants need us nowConstruction on East Colfax is making it tough for local favorites like Yahya’s Mediterranean Grill to keep their doors open.

The owner, Yahya Ameen, says catering orders are the only thing keeping the lights on, despite efforts to adapt with new signs and more advertising. For many small businesses here, this isn’t just a job—it’s family, memories, and community. How can we rally together to support these neighborhood gems during tough times? #Transportation #DenverEats #SupportLocal00Share

EtherElk+FollowDART delays big service cuts, but at a priceDallas riders are getting a temporary reprieve from major DART service cuts, but it’s costing the system $1 million just to wait a few more weeks. The board narrowly voted to delay decisions on route eliminations and reduced frequency, giving cities more time to weigh in. Meanwhile, paratransit and single-ride fares are going up. For many who rely on DART, the uncertainty is frustrating—especially after months of heated public debate. Is this delay worth the price, or just putting off tough choices? How do you think these changes will impact your daily commute? #Transportation #DallasTransit #DART00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowWild scene: Person crosses I-270 on foot with bikeA person was caught on camera walking a bike right across I-270 during the morning rush in north Denver—dodging cars, hopping a concrete barrier, and somehow making it safely to the other side. This isn’t just risky, it’s downright dangerous for everyone on the road. Drivers aren’t expecting to see someone on foot in the middle of the interstate, and at those speeds, anything can happen in a split second. What do you think pushes someone to take such a huge risk, and how should the city respond to keep both pedestrians and drivers safe? #Transportation #Denver #I27000Share
Peter Castillo+FollowAkron intersections to flash for 90 days—what it means for your driveStarting in September, drivers on Gilchrist Road in Akron will notice big changes at two intersections: traffic signals will switch to flashing mode for 90 days as the city studies whether to remove them. At Gilchrist and Munroe Falls, Gilchrist flashes yellow (caution), while Munroe Falls flashes red (stop). At Gilchrist and Skelton, the same pattern applies. This could mean faster commutes or more confusion—depending on how drivers adapt. How do you feel about potentially losing these signals? Will it make your daily route smoother or riskier? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Transportation #AkronTraffic #GilchristRoad00Share
