RTD holds public meetings about changes to west side service

RTD is adjusting bus service both to match anticipated revenue and to better serve the NW Rail Line (B) and the G Line to Arvada and Wheat Ridge. Here are the remaining public meetings.

Wednesday, September 11, 6pm
Irving Street Library 
7392 Irving Street
Westminster
Bus: 31

Friday, November 13, 6 pm
Arvada Municipal Building
8101 Ralston
Arvada
Bus: 52, 72
Within walking distance of the 76 and 100.

Wednesday, November 18, 6 pm
YMCA
6350 Eldridge Street
Arvada
Bus: 52 (Last bus goes by shortly after 8.)

Sorry for not getting this up before the first meeting. I went to the meeting tonight at the RTD Offices, and I am concerned. The person running the meeting did not do anything to explain the changes or anything else. He did not even use a map to help answer questions.

Personally, I am concerned about the Oak Street stop being cut without the people who use that stop being notified. A lot of people get on and off the bus at Oak Street, many more than use the Federal Center, which is being kept.

I am also confused about the situation with the 76 and the 51. I thought that the 51 and 50 were being combined and that the frequency of the 76 was being increased but now I am not sure.

You can go to http://www.rtd-denver.com/servicechanges-b-g.shtml, and see all the changes for yourself.
