August Service Changes Mean June Public Meetings

For once there are few service cuts. There are some routes that are losing an individual run, but they are all getting another somewhere else in the schedule.  The two routes that are losing service are the 9 and the 121. Hopefully, if people are unhappy with these changes, they will get Aurora, Denver, or Lakewood to pay to keep those routes. We need to start shifting funding away from cars to buses.

This location is a five to ten minute walk from the Lakewood-Wadsworth Station. The 76 and 26 are also close.

I am curious to find out if a lot of the students who are losing their school trip ride are in Lakewood. I would think that a meeting about the 9 would be further east in Denver. I am also curious to find out what is happening with the 225. The online information says that the Saturday schedules will be changing, but the 225 does not run on Saturday. It should run on Saturdays; maybe it will after it gets extended to Broomfield.

When I was young, many years ago, there was a bus that connected Lafayette to Broomfield. I am thinking that instead of having these long routes that can't be on time linking Broomfield and Lafayette, there should be a shorter one that does only that. That would be easier on the bus drivers and more reliable for the passengers. I wish there was a public meeting in Lafayette or Broomfield to discuss this.
