Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:48:51 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Are you looking to move and leave the hustle and bustle of Denver behind, but you don't want to move too far from the Mile High City? You might want to consider one of the small towns in Jefferson County. The county, located north and west of Denver, is home to multiple Census-designated places. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, these areas include unincorporated communities without "a legally defined boundary or an active, functioning governmental structure."There are also multiple cities and towns in Jefferson County. To be considered a "city" in Colorado, the place must have a population of 2,000, Census records show. Reaching "town" status isn't as straightforward: a petition must be signed by at least 40 registered voters in counties with a population of less than 25,000 people and in counties with more than 25,000 people, at least 150 registered voters. There must also be at least 50 people per square mile. These are the safest suburbs in Colorado, study says...

MBTA Lifts Some Speed Restrictions Along Red Line Stretch

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:48:51 GMT

The MBTA lifted speed restrictions along nine Red Line stretches between its Park Street and JFK/UMass stations following service disruptions that enabled crews to expedite track work over the past week.The T announced Tuesday morning that more than nine miles of the Red Line, or nearly 20 percent of the branch, remains under speed restrictions, which the transit authority said is the lowest amount since March 8 when the MBTA initiated slow zones systemwide.The slow zones — which in this case limited train speeds to 10 mph or 25 mph – are in place because the T determined it would be unsafe to run trains at normal speeds until fixes are made. The latest work involved replacing more than 2,000 feet of rail and 115 rail ties.Once considered rare, the MBTA is now routinely taking portions of its core subway service offline to make repairs in less time than it would take to make them during overnight shifts.  The T believes it can use this approach to address all slow z...

What truck attack against a Muslim family can teach us about hate in Canada

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:48:51 GMT

In today’s Big Story Podcast, in June 2021, Nathaniel Veltman intentionally ran his truck into the Afzaal family, who were simply out for a walk. All but one member of the family was killed, and Veltman later said he did it because he was looking for Muslims to run over. Last week, Veltman was quickly found guilty of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Related: Nathaniel Veltman guilty on all counts in London, Ont., attack His trial, the first in Canada to officially associate terrorism with white supremacy, offered a glimpse into where he found his hatred, how it twisted him, and how similar attacks might be prevented. His sentencing may also indicate just how the courts will treat terrorism charges in cases like these going forward.Wendy Gillis is the crime and police reporter for The Toronto Star. “Traditionally, we have not seen white nationalism be designated to the level of terrorism,” said Gillis. “We haven’t seen...

Deliveroo riders aren’t entitled to collective bargaining protections, UK court says

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:48:51 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s top court ruled Tuesday that riders for one of the U.K.’s biggest meal delivery companies aren’t entitled to collective bargaining protections because they aren’t employees, in what is seen as a landmark decision in the gig economy.The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain sought to represent Deliveroo riders to improve working conditions for the people who scurry around the nation’s streets delivering takeout meals to customers. When Deliveroo refused to negotiate with the union, the workers appealed, arguing that the company was violating rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights.The court rejected the appeal, ruling that the right to collective bargaining is only guaranteed when there is an “employment relationship” between the workers and the company. Deliveroo riders aren’t employees because their contract with the company gives them the “virtually unfettered right to appoint a substitute to take on their jobs,” the court said.Del...
