    Lite Rail is finally making it down Colfax! Lol we need to shout down all the NIMBYs. We need housing and transit yesterday. But money prevents human development at this point.

      That construction right now on East Colfax is for a center bus lane. It’s got a name but I can’t remember what they call that style of bus route.

      Not light rail, because light rail makes sense there. Denver doesn’t do stuff that makes sense.

          One bright spot is that if RTD already owns the right of way it’s easier to put rail in at a later date. Might have been that climatetown YouTuber who clued me into that factoid, if not him someone in that circle
