Transportation
Denver has better public transportation than many people
realize, and a lot is going on to improve this. There's an
ambitious plan to expand the public transport system called
Fastracks, which
needs to be funded by a sales tax increase which will be
voted on in the November 2 elections (proposition 4A). If
you're a Denver area voter please support this!
Denver Union
Station will be at the center of the regional
transportation network, which will be great for those of us
who live across the street! RTD Denver (the Regional
Transportation District) has recently added a pretty cool
trip planning
feature to their web site, where you enter the start and end
addresses for a trip you'd like to make, and it tells you
which trains and/or buses you need to take. I'd like to see
them add a few more features, but it's heading in the right
direction! Until the light rail down I-25 is finished and
some of us still need to drive down there, the
T-Rex site has a
great real time traffic map - you need to click on "Maps,
Photos and Images" and then on "Real-time information". You
can even click on real time webcams all the way along I-25!
