In releasing the design of the project twoweeks ago, Governor Jared Polis remarked:“Now, when Coloradoans of all ages come tovisit our State Capitol, they can more easilyaccess and enjoy Lincoln Veterans Park,while enjoying and learning from art fromlocal artists.”But after surveying that same design, thegroup History Colorado, which is the state’sofficial agency tasked with historicpreservation, has said that the new walkwayis “highly out of place” for the Civic CenterPark where it will be built.In a statement, John Deffenbaugh, chiefexecutive officer of History Colorado, hasargued that the proposed walkway “servesno functional purpose and is a response to aproblem that does not exist.”The agency has since launched a petitiondrive, noting that the proposed curvedraised walkway will do “extensive damage”to a historic site. Within one hour of thepetition being posted, it had alreadyattracted more than one hundredsignatures.Critics of the project have also noted thatthe capitol building, which was completed in1894, is listed on the National Register ofHistoric Places, and should be best left alonewithout any structural attachments.A statement from the Governor’s office hassince said the project’s team of “expertlandscape architects and designers is wellversed and supportive of the NationalHistoric Landmark guidelines that governthe park and Capitol complex, and lookforward to engaging in furtherconversation.”Earlier reports indicated that work on thewalkway was expected to begin later thisyear.BUILTENVIRONMENT33Design work may soon begin on therestoration and upgrading of one of theSouthwest’s most popular attractions.The Wyler Aeria Tramway in El Paso,traveling up the side of the FranklinMountains, was built in 1959 and providessweeping views of more than 7,000 squaremiles of land, two nations, and three states.FAMOUS EL PASOTRAMWAY GETS NEWFUNDING FOR UPGRADEWORKBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 06/06/2025Copyright: Canva pro, Franklin MountainsCopyright: Canva proIn 2018 the tram was closed due to safetyconcerns, with both state and local officialspondering exactly how much it may cost toput it back into operation.Now the project has secured $7 million infunding via the Texas State Legislature,money that will be added to the $27 millionearlier appropriated by the state for thework.

BUILTENVIRONMENT65CONGRESSMOVES TO BLOCKLOCAL BANS ONRENT-SETTINGALGORITHMSFederal, state, and local authorities haveincreasingly sought to restrict companies likeRealPage and Yardi from selling data andalgorithmic tools to multifamily propertyowners and operators aiming to optimize theirpricing and net operating income. Critics arguethat such software has played a significant rolein the sharp rent increases witnessed during thepandemic.The House of Representatives recentlyadvanced a sweeping legislative package thatincludes a notable provision for datacompanies. As reported by The Wall StreetJournal, this provision would block state andlocal governments from regulating automateddecision systems, including rent-settingalgorithms, for the next ten years. This movecomes as part of a broader federal effort topreempt state-level regulation of artificialintelligence, though the measure still facessignificant hurdles in the Senate.CONTINUE READING >
