Two much anticipated safe outdoor parking spaces for people experiencing homelessness in Denver won’t be opening after all. A contract with Colorado Safe Parking Initiative will become final at Tuesday’s Mayor-City Council meeting. The new contract removes the requirement for the initiative to add two more lots serving a total of 16 vehicles. That leaves just two lots that the initiative already operates. The city will pay $350,000 for the initiative to operate the lots.

Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.
