It is time to rethink how we address living space for our unhoused neighbors--the current situation is not working for them or for the city. We know that helping people get back on their feet requires stable housing, but the very first step is getting people inside to safe places--ones where they feel comfortable and secure. In addition, we will expand street outreach, addiction treatment, and harm reduction to ensure that people facing a crisis are aware of these new solutions. Bold action is required to change the trajectory of the city, and we can develop solutions that are both safe AND caring. Learn more
Leslie envisions a Denver in which car ownership is not a prerequisite to getting a job or getting around. Leslie will ensure our city has safe, convenient, affordable transportation options for everyone that lives here, so that those who want to bus, bike, or walk can choose to do so.Many residents will still have cars and use them, within an efficient transportation system that is shared equitably with other modes of transportation. Creating balanced options will benefit our economy, reduce pollution, increase safety, and help ensure that our city is fair for everyone that lives here. Learn more
