'Your City Could Be Better': How Denver Is Fixing Its Sidewalks — Presented By City Cast Nashville
Just how good are the sidewalks in Nashville? The state of a city’s sidewalks can be a good indicator of how healthy that city is — and pedestrian safety is just the beginning.

City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Denver podcast host Bree Davies about what drove this initiative, how it’s going, and who’s paying for it. And speaking of sidewalks, do bikes, scooters, and people playing music belong on public sidewalks?
