Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Denver affordable ADU program at risk of losing funding even as demand increases (denver7.com) — Denver's city-backed Single Family Plus program, which helps homeowners build affordable accessory dwelling units, is at risk of losing expected funding after falling short of its original construction goal. With ADU demand surging since citywide zoning changes, Denver Housing Authority and the city's housing department are negotiating an extension and revised scope so current projects can be finished and unspent dollars used effectively.
2. Denver's $70M Summit FC stadium commitment could grow by nearly $20M (denvergazette.com) — Denver City Council's $70 million commitment to the new Summit FC stadium could grow by roughly $20 million to cover a new North Bridge near I-25 and Broadway, potentially straining the city budget. Council also approved a police-misconduct settlement and a sizable increase to the Denver jail food-service contract, raising questions about rising city costs.
3. Denver police respond to another street takeover on Broadway (kdvr.com) — A late-night street takeover at North Broadway and 10th in Denver brought burnouts, fireworks, and blocked traffic, but no arrests or citations. Neighbors described loud crashes and explosives-like sounds as Denver police's street racing team moved in to clear the area. Officers say such takeovers are now a higher enforcement priority, though safety concerns can limit on-the-spot arrests.
4. Denver mayor safe after security detail draws gun on knife-wielding man; "Over in a matter of seconds," office says (cbsnews.com) — A member of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's security detail briefly drew his gun on a man carrying what turned out to be a plastic knife near Union Station last week. The guard ordered the man to drop the weapon, then holstered his gun when the blade was revealed as fake, and no one was hurt or arrested.
