Now for a story that's sure to ruffle some feathers. The rising cost of eggs has some Denver residents looking to produce their own.

Shifting gears to a local hero, meet Denver native Ashley Williams. Her abstract paintings and sculptures are currently on display at the Denver Botanic Gardens in an exhibition called "Language Without Words." Williams' work invites viewers to reconsider the natural world through non-human perspectives, offering a unique lens on our relationship with nature.

Expect vibrant performances, traditional crafts, and delicious food.
As for the weather, we're in for a typical March mix. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-50s for the next few days, but keep an umbrella handy as there's a chance of afternoon showers on Sunday.

20 MAR 2025 · Welcome to the Denver News Update. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from the Mile High City.
Word on the streets of Denver is that our city is gearing up for some major events this week. But first, let's dive into our top story.
The Denver Public Schools Board has announced the cancellation of classes at more than half of its schools this Thursday. This decision comes as hundreds of teachers plan to attend a daytime rally at the state Capitol to protest cuts to education funding. The Colorado Education Association is organizing the rally, calling on state lawmakers to preserve K-12 funding amidst a projected $1.2 billion state budget deficit next year. This move follows similar announcements from Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Boulder Valley School District.
In weather news, Denver residents should brace for a chilly week ahead. After enjoying temperatures in the 60s and 70s, we're in for a significant change. Today's high will only reach the mid-40s, with clearing skies throughout the day. The good news is that spring officially arrives on Thursday, bringing sunshine and a return to the 60s. The weekend looks promising with a mix of clouds and sun, and temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
Now, let's turn our attention to a local story that's warming hearts across the city. The Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month. For three decades, this beloved institution has been educating visitors about the importance of invertebrates and their role in our ecosystem. The pavilion's commitment to conservation and hands-on learning experiences has made it a cherished destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
Looking ahead, Denver is set to host some exciting events in the coming days. Basketball fans, mark your calendars for March 20th and 22nd, as the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship rounds 1 and 2 come to Ball Arena. This March Madness extravaganza promises to bring high energy and potentially some Cinderella stories to our city.
For those looking to embrace Irish culture, don't forget the Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday, March 15th. Starting at 9:30 AM from 19th and Wynkoop streets, the parade will wind its way through downtown, celebrating Denver's rich Irish heritage.
As we wrap up today's update, it's worth reflecting on how these events - from education rallies to cultural celebrations - showcase the diverse and vibrant community we have here in Denver. Whether we're standing up for our schools or coming together to cheer on our favorite teams, it's clear that the spirit of our city remains strong.

12 MAR 2025 · Denver is experiencing a dynamic period of growth and change, with key developments in economy, housing, transportation, and local government initiatives. The city's economy remains strong, buoyed by a thriving tech industry and continued investment in downtown commercial spaces. Major companies are expanding, and the job market remains competitive, attracting professionals from across the country.
In housing, rising rent and home prices continue to challenge residents. While the city has implemented measures to increase affordable housing, demand still outpaces supply. New apartment projects are underway, but housing advocates stress the need for long-term solutions to support lower-income and middle-class residents. The local government is exploring rent stabilization policies and incentives for developers to prioritize affordable units.
Transportation improvements are a priority, with the Regional Transportation District working to expand public transit options. Investments in electric buses aim to reduce emissions, and bike lane expansions are encouraging more sustainable commuting options. However, traffic congestion remains a concern, and city officials are debating solutions, including potential toll lanes and infrastructure upgrades.
Denver’s political landscape is also seeing shifts, with upcoming elections focusing on issues such as crime prevention, homelessness, and environmental policies. City leaders are addressing homelessness with new shelters and supportive housing programs, including an initiative to convert hotels into temporary housing. Officials are balancing enforcement efforts with strategies to provide long-term solutions for unhoused residents.
The city’s cultural scene continues to thrive, with events, festivals, and new restaurant openings bringing energy to the metro area. The upcoming summer concert season at Red Rocks Amphitheatre is drawing significant attention, with performances spanning multiple genres. Local restaurants are gaining national recognition, solidifying Denver’s reputation as a food destination.
In sports, the Denver Nuggets are making headlines as they navigate the playoffs, aiming for another deep postseason run. The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of a challenging season, while the Denver Broncos are preparing for the NFL draft with hopes of strengthening their roster for the upcoming season.
Environmental concerns remain a point of discussion, with efforts to improve air quality and water conservation amid rising temperatures. City officials continue to promote sustainability initiatives, including expanded recycling programs and incentives for renewable energy adoption.
As Denver continues to evolve, its residents, businesses, and leaders face both opportunities and challenges that will shape the city’s future.

10 MAR 2025 · Denver is experiencing a dynamic period of change, with major developments shaping the city’s future. One of the biggest stories is the ongoing housing market adjustment. After years of record-breaking home prices, Denver’s market is showing signs of stabilization. Recent reports indicate that home prices have plateaued while inventory has increased, giving potential buyers more options. However, interest rates remain a key factor influencing affordability, as many residents weigh the cost of homeownership against rising rental prices.
The city’s infrastructure is also undergoing significant changes. The long-awaited expansion of Interstate 70 continues, with construction aimed at improving traffic flow and reducing congestion. The Central 70 Project, designed to enhance mobility and replace aging bridges, is progressing toward completion, although delays have frustrated commuters. Meanwhile, the Regional Transportation District is focusing on service improvements, including increased bus and rail frequencies to accommodate growing ridership as more people return to public transit.
In environmental news, Denver’s air quality remains a concern as summer approaches. Officials warn of possible high ozone levels, prompting renewed efforts to reduce vehicle emissions. The city has introduced new electric vehicle incentives and expanded bike lane projects to encourage eco-friendly commuting. Additionally, Denver’s sustainability initiatives include stricter building efficiency regulations and incentives for solar energy adoption, reinforcing the city’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
Downtown Denver is seeing fluctuating business activity, particularly in the commercial real estate sector. Office vacancy rates remain high following pandemic-related shifts in remote work, and property owners are looking for creative ways to attract tenants. Some buildings are being repurposed for residential use, aligning with city efforts to address housing demand. At the same time, tourism is rebounding, with major summer events like the Colorado Rockies season, festivals, and concerts driving increased hotel bookings.
Public safety remains a key topic of discussion, with city officials working on strategies to address rising concerns about crime. Recent trends show an increase in certain property crimes, prompting debates about law enforcement policies and community-based solutions. Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration is prioritizing initiatives to enhance mental health resources, expand homelessness services, and improve policing efforts.
As Denver adapts to economic and social changes, the city continues to balance growth with sustainability. Residents and officials alike are looking ahead to long-term solutions that will shape Denver’s evolving identity while maintaining its reputation as one of the most livable cities in the country.
