All meetings are on Monday, December 28.
Noon and 6 pm
RTD Administrative Offices
1600 Blake Street, Basement
Denver
Bus: Free Mall Ride, 0, 6, 28, 32, 44
6 pm only
Clements Center (Look for the signs pointing to the room.)
1580 Yarrow Street
Bus: 16 (Also in walking distance of the 76.)
Most of changes are schedule adjustments and the end of school service which actually takes place later than April.
The real changes are ending the 16 at Civic Center instead of 10th and Broadway. I think that these meetings are not being announced because the last time that RTD tried to shorten the 16, public pressure made them drop their plans.
RTD may be also trying to avoid outcry over the cancellation of the Belmar Call-n-Ride. The service could be a success if people knew about it.
In positive news, Longmont is getting evening and Sunday service. I bet that is the result of public pressure, not just on RTD, but the Longmont city council.
Finally, we need to be putting pressure on our local governments as well as RTD. It looks like the City of Denver is kicking RTD off of the downtown mall. Is the City of Denver going to have any public meetings to announce this, or is it just going to be a surprise?
If you can't go to a meeting tomorrow, you can send a comment to service.changes@rtd-denver.com until Thursday, December 31.

Tell the City of Denver we need more buses and sidewalks
Brighton Boulevard Design Public Meeting
Thursday, June 18, 5:30 - 7:30 (presentation at 6)
The Summit Church
3300 Larimer Street
Denver
I hope that people will ask the City of Denver to do more to build and maintain sidewalks. I hope that people will ask what the City of Denver means by multi-modal. Denver is in the bottom nationally for its support of buses and trains. Is any funding going to go for better bus service? Are people going to be able to get to and from the new commuter rail line? Are the bike paths going to be safe for people to bike on? Is there going to be any enforcement of traffic laws?
This may also be an opportunity to oppose the widening of I-70.
