Transportation is a big part of urbanism, as is evident by the impact the automobile has had on our cities in the past 60 years, the impact that streetcars had on our cities in the decades before that, and the way transit and other alternative modes of transportation influence the design of our cities today and in the future. Nevertheless, transportation issues (plans, funding, design, construction, policies, etc.) have been generally underreported by the mainstream media. One exception was Kevin Flynn’s transportation column in the Rocky Mountain News. The Rocky may be gone, but Kevin is still reporting transportation news, this time at his own blog, the Inside Lane. But unlike before when Kevin had maybe an article a week in the newspaper, he’s now posting great content on a daily basis.
Here at DenverInfill, we’ll cover transportation news in Downtown and Denver’s urban core, as well as major transportation issues impacting urbanism elsewhere in the region. At the Inside Lane, Kevin covers the full spectrum of transportation news from throughout the state, making it a great complement to DenverInfill for all you transportation geeks out there. Thanks, Kevin, for your exceptional coverage of a topic that is critical to Colorado’s future.
Wow, I am truly honored by your recognition of what I have been doing. I appreciate it very much. While at the Rocky I checked Denver Infill from time to time for information and to keep up with the discussions. I am a fan of urban living and efficient reliable multimodal transportation networks to serve them.
It is hard to say how long I will be doing Inside Lane, because it depends on whether I can make a living at it. I am having the site redesigned to me more of a news site than a blog, and to have more utility to it. Brand new logo, the works. But what makes it work best is content and for that, I need to stay in contact with stakeholders. Story tips are welcomed as before. Working from home unplugs me from the live scene in a way. But in freeing me from the printed page/beast, it re-plugs me into a much more interesting network of information.
