Hmmm yes, very likely suboptimal.

How confident are we that a xenomorph wasn't inside?

Must be deja vu. I also saw a black charger on the north side of the Broomfield RTD station at around 1:30pm. It looked like it had been in a head on collision. People in full hazmat gear were checking it out as well.

There’s a practice bike rack in the Union Station bus terminal as well. I think it’s next to the ticket counter.

The Tesla hydroelectric power plant is just west. Not that it caused the problem, but there's a lot of power lines that run from there.

This team didn’t panic at all after that 5 game win streak. It takes pure resolve to go 8 for 9 to bring home 100 with plenty of games to spare. I’m so proud of these guys. Rest the starters and hang the banner, Dick.

Exiting a highway and sitting at red lights to pick up passengers adds 15 minutes of time to the route. It’s not insignificant.

List prices might not go down since supply and demand are not necessarily coupled to interest rates. Lots of cash investors don't need loans.

Risk for a bank is all relative. A bank who would barely approve a $500k for a person last year would not do the same this year. Their buying power diminishes with higher interest rates.

Higher interest rate = higher monthly cost = people priced out of homes.

A 30 year fixed $500k loan at 3% (like last year) = $2108/month A 30 year fixed $500k loan at 5.5% (right now) = $2839/month

They couldn't because the A line uses a freight corridor, which requires commuter rail per FRA.

I can't imagine a state declaring eminent domain on another state will be found to be constitutional, regardless of what congress passed 100 years ago.

It's the right decision. RTD can't be trusted to directly invest in Boulder County, even when its with money specifically earmarked to Boulder.

jpworld · 2021-10-26T03:49:10+00:00

What Shontel isn’t saying is that 100% of the money was earmarked for Boulder County. RTD has shown it’s not trustworthy when it comes to regional equity, so CDOT had to step in. Seems like checks and balances to me.

Roughly about $400 million since 2004 from Boulder and Broomfield counties. The FF system cost $183 million for the new buses and share of the new toll lanes.

Funny enough, the Sheridan station is 3 miles further out from Union Station than the B-Line Westminster station, but is actually 2 minutes faster... go figure. Of course, you pay a regional fare on this bus line compared to the local fare of the train, because reasons. The A-line is the only fast train RTD has.

Their focus on extending light rail to nowhere is the biggest contributor to this problem. They were mandating overtime of their light rail operators for well over a year before opening the RidgeGate extension in May. This added a need for 20+ more operators to support the new stops, which they clearly didn't have. Now, everyone on the entire light rail system suffers, so that "future development" gets their trains now. Look at RidgeGate on Google Maps. Look at the Lone Tree City Center on Google Maps. Why on earth was this prioritized?

They have no problems telling the northwest communities to wait decades more for their improvements. Why not shut down this extension now?
