A Line Opens Aprill 22 (Review of January East Rail Line Newsletter)

I have been thinking of writing the RTD Board with my reactions to the various attempts to keep people up to date with the FasTracks project. Communications with bus and train riders have improved some because some people, including me, complained. There is still some improvements that need to be made. Many of the contractors think they are writing construction porn rather than providing information for bus and train riders. Many forget that people walk and ride bikes, and that not everyone drives everywhere all the time.

To this edition of the East Rail Line Report. The East Rail Line has officially been renamed the A Line, and will open April 22. Trains are already running as drivers are being trained and trains are being tested. Drivers will blow the train horns during testing as quiet zones do not come into operation until everything is fully operational.

Benches and signs are being installed at the stations as we speak. Does anyone know if either is likely to be adequate?
