What Does Denver Need to Become a “Great” City?

Howdy neighbors! I’ve lived in Colorado, and the Denver Metro area since 1988. There’s a lot I love about living here but there’s a lot I would change, too. I feel like we have grown from a little city with big city aspirations, to being on the cusp of being a “major city” So, in your opinion, what does Denver need to cross that threshold? What would make this city great?

I, for one, would love to see more walkable neighborhoods, more consistent and reliable public transportation, and more emphasis on the arts, education and cultural exchange.
