The 2900 Block of Larimer Street in RiNo is no longer an open, pedestrianized space. On Sunday, 2/2, the last barricades that kept this place open to pedestrians were removed, and the block is now just another block with traffic and parking. We interviewed people who were there on the last day - many had no idea it was the last time they would see it car-free. The audio was really terrible due to crowds and wind, but I hope you'll indulge us to hear what folks had to say.
