He's not meeting his ghost bike quota. Brian Hopkins wants more cyclist blood on his hands.

So I immediately submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request for Ald. Hopkins' letter and associated emails. CDOT fulfilled my request in an unusually swift six days.

LOL CDOT wanted this guy exposed.

Funny how this guy tries to present as pro-bike: https://www.aldermanhopkins.com/bike-the-ward

I assume there's some special interest who wants these lanes gone.
