The Denver City Council on Monday night approved an $828,904 contract with the nonprofit Montbello Organizing Committee to provide sustainable transportation services in the neighborhood through March 2025.
“It gives people additional options for traveling in and out of the community and it helps solve a lot of transportation needs that a lot of partners are facing,” said Mayra Gonzales, the Montbello Organizing Committee’s program director. “It helps us adopt new technology where infrastructure is not being built for us, we’re having to build it for ourselves.”
Of the money committed Monday, $312,669 is for capital investments, according to city documents. That means buying the bikes, converting a gas-powered shuttle into an electric vehicle and installing the charging station, Gonzales said. The remaining money will go to running the program for the next three years.
This will never happen…
