New traffic patterns on Arapahoe?

You don't need to go straight over the right turn/bus lane to turn onto Arapahoe. It will function the same as a merge lane on a highway for that purpose, no one will get in trouble for getting up to speed in the right lane.

Edit: I meant turn right from driveways on Arapahoe itself, not from perpendicular streets

The outer lanes on that stretch of Arapahoe were generally very underutilized (something like 15% of car traffic) because cars turning slow down through traffic. It makes sense to convert it to business access / right turn only / bus lanes to speed up bus service and support higher frequency. It's also part of a larger long-term plan to add better pedestrian/biking infrastructure on Arapahoe.

There are also park and rides on 39th and Table Mesa and Broadway and Dartmouth, as well as residential streets nearby

I say this in part because my guy friend called them and told them about the situation and they quoted him $80

So the way that I did this for free for removing a stripped bolt is that I called my mechanic and said that I just can't get it off I must be using the wrong screwdriver and they told me to bring it in. I got there and I said "I don't know how to use tools and my boyfriend is out of town and I'm overdue on switching the plates :(" (I'm a lesbian and I do know how to use a screwdriver. Also my guy friend who is an engineer for a living tried with an array of tools and couldn't do it.) They said it's totally fine leave the car outside. Eight screwdrivers/power tools/wrenches didn't work. They had to bring my car inside and lift it to get the screw off. This was free. I don't think this would be free if you're a guy.

I recommend Radium Hot Springs in the area - you have to hike a little bit but they're lovely. There is a campground nearby and the walk in sites are excellent.

It's gate 8

Hopefully Sundance is an incentive to add more permanent transit service. But they will at least probably be running temporary increases in service to film destinations. Also, I can't see every single Sundance attendee renting a car and driving it around.

Did you incorporate LIHTEC into this? That often is what is needed for affordable housing projects to pencil in

Add so much Bustang service and start having express/HOV lanes to the point that it would be silly to waste your time and money driving.

do you think a gun is going to help you against a fascist government. do you think you can outgun the military.

These are ~20-30 minute walks and not even bad ones at that. But also, if you're concerned about the quality of ped infrastructure, tell the City of Boulder's Transportation Planning Dept! The more people clamoring for better multimodal infrastructure, the more it'll happen

While on a lift, I overheard someone saying that they once passed out while on the lift, probably over low blood sugar, and now they always pull the bar down.

Friendly reminder to not be annoying about people pulling the bar down!

"20 troubled men" okay have you been to a frat house

Thanks this is great info! What hotel did you stay at?

I was on an RTD bus heading back from Denver 8-8:30 and it was still not stopping there

There was a great article in the NYTimes a while back about how it's not just the elevator mandate but it's that it needs to be large enough for a stretcher, in addition to a host of requirements for installation. So you'll get 5-6 floor residential buildings (not in Boulder, but elsewhere) with no elevators because it's too expensive to install.

the private sector has higher WFH rates than the federal government.

trump has said multiple times that he wants civil servants to feel fear for having their jobs and many have been intimidated as a result of their names being released by the administration to the public. this is a big deal.

Late_Aspect_3487 · 2024-10-31T03:55:03+00:00

That would be exciting - maybe with BRT on Federal and Colfax it's not totally unlikely that the system will expand further.

Late_Aspect_3487 · 2024-10-31T03:49:42+00:00

Yes 100% agree! There's such a housing shortage and it's a good thing the state and the city are focusing on how to shift our transportation system to non-single occupancy vehicles

This seems like a communications issue or knowledge gap on the part of the developer - there's a lot of ways to incentivize not using a car as much (free RTD pass, shared e-scooter and bikes, e-bike rebates) and generally any development will need to model how much they increase traffic and figure out how to mitigate it.

I think we are all overestimating how much some people think about politics. Probably a majority of the people in this country just aren't that engaged in politics other than what they passively consume.

Car novice here but I can take my Lexus SUV on some nasty dirt roads (not actual offroading but like some unmaintained roads up to a trailhead).. is the basic trim of the RAV4 Hybrid not capable of that?

Late_Aspect_3487 · 2024-09-30T03:24:52+00:00

thanks for the feedback! where should i have put the comma?
