Agree with #2.
#4 - BAD pet owners (not all but many). Wash Park: woman doesn't have dog on leash, dog knocks young boy riding to bike to school on ground; woman said, "things like this happens; my husband falls off his bike too". There used to be flocks of ducks with their babies; unleashed dogs terrorized them, no baby ducks for a few years. Where are the Park & Rec officers?
Another problem: Rollerball cyclists are dangerous - knocked over my elderly neighbor who is in great shape (he stopped long enough to tell her while she was on the ground that he wouldn't have hit her. As soon as two other passerbys stopped to help, he took off without giving her his contact info. She had 2 broken elbows). These guys fly from street to sidewalk so a red light won't stop them. Witnessed a car turning right who didn't see the cyclist flying back and forth, the latter is lucky to be alive. City cutting down lanes to add a bicycle lane that hardly gets used. The city isn't ready for such growth, they don't have the smarts.

Disappointing Denver -
10/28/2017Loved Denver up until the passing of the marijuana laws. The taxes were great for the city BUT it's killed the quality of life. Vagrants and hoards of homeless, parks and greenbelts are filled with them. The Broadway Bridge sidewalk between Lincoln & Broadway and 6th and 7th are thick with unslightly heaps of stuff; grocery carts line the Cherry Creek path. 'Travelers" along the 16th St Mall help themselves to diners' food & drink; robberies skyrocketing; people sleeping on walks; hardly a corner without panhandling; walk out of any building along Colfax and you're approached by someone asking for money. Cheap looking highrises renting at exorbitant prices; highrises not including enough parking spaces for # of units/tenants main street parking worse than before (tenants in Cherry Creek began parking at the Cherry Creek Mall to the point the mall added paid parking barriers (1st hour free). I-25 is trash lined. Traffic has become horrible, infrastructure not ready for the masses. A once wonderful, civilized city now disgraceful and grungy, and sad. We want our old Denver back, please.
