What do you think about BRT on Colfax Avenue?

Public Meetings Scheduled to Discuss Bus Rapid Transit for Colfax Avenue

Wednesday, January 20, 5:30-7:30 pm (presentation at 6)
Knights of Columbus Hall
1555 Grant Street
Denver
Bus: 15, 15L (The 6 and 16 also stop across the street just before they turn to head south. The 10 and the 20 are also within walking distance.)

Thursday, January 21, 5:30-7:30 pm (presentation at 6)
North Middle School
12095 Montview Boulevard
Aurora
Bus: 20, 89, 121 (at two different stops)

The City of Denver may build BRT along Colfax. This has the potential to be a good idea if it is planned well. We need to keep the well-being of the people of Denver and Aurora kept in mind. But is this really about widening Colfax? Does the City of Denver really understand what frequent service is? Are any other bus routes going to be improved?

A fellow bus rider who also has experience encouraging people to go to meetings and comment is concerned that not enough bus riders have been involved in this process. So if you can, please go to this meeting. And tell us what you think of the City of Denver's plans in the comments here or by sending us a message.
