Yesterday Streetsblog reported that the Regional Transportation District and Denver Public Works will speed up buses on six streets by giving them more green lights as they approach intersections. Make that seven.
It's clear from the debate at the capitol that any legislative package of transportation funding will be more about pleasing constituencies who live a stone's throw from Utah, Oklahoma, and Kansas than about solving the unique problems of an urban, growing city.
Unlike most other transit agencies, the Regional Transportation District Board of Directors is elected. It turns out that some of those reps take their elected duties a lot more seriously than others.
