Statement from President Joe Biden on Protecting 600,000 Teamster Pensions: “As of today, over 600,000 Teamster workers and retirees have pensions protected from devastating cuts.

The idea of establishing the DU-area slow zone on Evans followed a crash in April where three students were injured at a signalized pedestrian crossing just east of High Street and sun glare was a factor.
