Has DIA Finally Fixed Its Delayed Train Problem? Plus, the Fight for Police Reform in Aurora

About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing police reform efforts in Aurora following the shooting of Kilyn Lewis and the improvements at DIA regarding its delayed train problem.

The family of Kilyn Lewis – a 37 year-old unarmed Black man shot and killed by Aurora police in 2024 – filed another lawsuit against the City of Aurora last week, this time alleging systematic failures within the police department leading to his death. This comes after his estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit last year and as APD is still under a consent decree to change excessive use of force policies and discriminatory practices against people of color. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love dig into the state of the APD in this moment, and what these two lawsuits are aiming to address. Then, DIA is finally getting pedestrian walkways and we hear from listeners about their fave cheap meal hacks around the city. Olivia mentioned linking something and I can’t remember what it was now??
