Here are the top stories in Lakewood today:

  1. Will free transit actually improve air quality in August? As proposed, a bill moving through the Colorado legislature would give RTD $11M, but the transit agency would only use the grant funding to provide free transit in August, not the entire summer ozone season. (CPR)
  2. Permanent daylight saving time is a really bad idea. One group isn't opposed to locking the clock, they just think that locking it in the daylight saving mode is bad for humans. (CU Today)
  3. Heavy snow that fell earlier this year wasn't enough to stop NCAR fire. Despite large snow falls since the first of the year, the NCAR Fire spread fast in the dry terrain. Even with all the recent moisture, the fire season in Colorado is turning into an annual ordeal. (9News)
  4. Are rising Colorado COVID-19 positivity rates a hint of another virus wave? The state's COVID-19 positivity rate has increased ever-so-slightly, but it's too early to tell if the rates are going to rise even more at this point. (Patch)
  5. Man accused of damaging recreation center in Denver won't be charged. The Denver District Attorney announced yesterday that no charges will be filed against the 71-year-old man that allegedly caused thousands of dollars in damages to the floor at Denver's Central park Recreation Center.
