    Is it time to say goodbye to Lime and Bird? Denver City Council is set to vote Monday evening on a new contract with Veo Micromobility to be Denver’s exclusive scooters and e-bike provider, but the lobbying has been intense and the votes could still fall either way. Denver Post city government reported Elliott Wenzler joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the vote and what would change with Veo. Plus, Elliott recently sat down with Melat Kiros, one of two challengers hoping to unseat Denver’s longtime congresswoman, Diana DeGette, so we’re digging into an unexpectedly interesting race. Paul discussed the Kalshi market for the CD1 Democratic nominee and the uncertainty around how many of the 30,000 Denverites enrolled in Lime’s equity access program will experience a gap in service with a changeover to Veo. Lime is partnering with Servicios de la Raza on two mobile food pantry events to say thank you and help people transition: Saturday, April 25, 2026, 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Athmar Recreation Center 2680 W.
