I’ve ridden that scary section from CU campus towards Pearl and back many times and it’s sketchy with all the cars. So glad to see plans to improve it.

My latest Charting Boulder column in @boulderrl.bsky.social: "That’s the promise of public interest data science: not just to mythbust, but to make arguments about our community more accountable and actionable." boulderreportinglab.org/2025/07/22/b...

Opinion | Brian Keegan: Rethinking Boulder’s growth debate — with data, not nostalgia

In an age of misinformation and partisan posturing, let’s use open data to raise the bar for public arguments and hold each other accountable.

Bradford, this year’s UK city of culture, has removed cars from its city center and invested in new landscaping and cycling infrastructure. It’s a city center that is compact and walkable with stunning architecture and a new indoor market that just opened last weekend.

Thank you to @boulderrl.bsky.social for bringing me on as a regular columnist.

My first piece is on the consequences of a half-century of population anxiety and debunking myths about Boulder being "full".

boulderreportinglab.org/2025/06/29/b...

Opinion — Brian Keegan: The myth of a 'full' Boulder — and how our policies are driving people away

The idea that Boulder is full because its population is 'exploding' is not supported by the data.

My friend visited and left me the Tshirt I was admiring. As a school kid I went on BART when it opened as a field trip so have ridden it now for the 50 years and then some.
