Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:34:01 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — RTD's Board of Directors was holding a vote Tuesday to fortify the "Respect the Ride Code Of Conduct." The meeting comes after ongoing demand for enforcement based on reports of violent threats, lewd behavior, drug use and trashed buses and trains. Rider Brandon Cobb uses the train daily and witnesses open drug use and threatening behavior. “With the kids that ride, that's not safe at all, so I think they should limit the people that are doing drugs on the train and just cut that immediately,” Cobb said. Camping ban passes in Douglas County Bus drivers and passengers made public comments at the meeting, citing incidents of assault, discoveries of human waste on seats and on stairs, noxious smoke from drugs inhaled on the train or bus and dangerous threats.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:34:01 GMT

WINDSOR, Colo. (KDVR) — A popular waterway in Northern Colorado is once again allowing visitors to rent or use inner tubes. Windsor town officials have opened the access point at the Eastman Park River Experience. Authorities made the decision after carefully monitoring the Cache la Poudre River's height and current speed. “It’s amazing,” said resident Rachel Tofflemoyer, one of the first to float down the river on Tuesday. Flooded paths lead to Bike to Work Day detours “When the water’s moving too fast, a lot of times, people don’t necessarily have control on a vessel," the Northern Colorado native said. Tofflemoyer said it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. Windsor is approximately 55 miles from Denver.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:34:01 GMT

The turmoil in Russia is giving Ukraine’s allies on Capitol Hill new ammunition in the fight to secure more weapons and aid for Kyiv.It’s still unclear what the brief mercenary rebellion will mean for Russia and Ukraine, but lawmakers argue the schism between Vladimir Putin and Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is a sign Western-supplied weapons are working, and that Washington needs to navigate skepticism in Congress to keep the tap open.Bipartisan pressure to spend more on the military was already brewing in Congress, and specifically on more aid to Ukraine, even if that means breaking the debt limit deal that capped defense funding at the administration’s request of $886 billion. On Friday, hours before Prigozhin’s forces charged into Russia, the Senate Armed Services Committee released its version of the defense policy bill and called on President Joe Biden to seek more money for Ukraine.“I would hope what [the Wagner rebellion] does is reinforce to members of Congr...

Cavanaugh & James: Mass. patients need choices, not roadblocks

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:34:01 GMT

Expectant mothers need quick access to care when labor begins, but their options are dwindling in Massachusetts. If UMass Memorial Health receives regulatory approval to close its Leominster maternity ward on Sept. 22, the shutdown would continue an alarming trend.Birth centers, midwifery practices and hospital obstetric units have disappeared across the state in recent years, along with behavioral health and primary care clinics. Policymakers have vowed to intervene to stop the bleeding, but proposed solutions are upside down.Rather than making it easier for health care investors to launch and run new facilities in Massachusetts, state lawmakers want to make it harder for existing providers to close. One measure, S.736/H.1175, would extend the mandatory wait time to shut down “essential health services” from six months to one year — not counting 30 days of advance notice for hospital staff, labor unions and local officials.Before filing any of this paperwork and starting the clock,...
