The local historian Mark Barnhouse described 16th Street as “the heart of a great city” in his book about the 1.7-mile commercial strip. But lately, that heart has been struggling to pump blood. Mayor Mike Johnston and downtown boosters are betting big that a $175 million construction project and a $100,000 rebranding will bring life back to the former 16th Street Mall — now renamed 16th Street.

Some Denver city workers lack basic “psychological safety,” according to a new report from Denver Auditor Tim O’Brien. The audit was released the same day Mayor Mike Johnston announced a massive restructuring of Denver government. Johnston is attempting to close a $250 million budget gap and quit spending more money than Denver is bringing in. This long-term practice has depleted the city’s emergency funds. New hiring is already frozen. In the months to come, employees will experience furloughs.

Denver City Council deleted its X account, citing concerns about Elon Musk's conflicts of interest in the Trump administration and bias on the site. The Denver Police Department and Mayor Mike Johnston are still here. https://t.co/X6z51k8Uk2
