Denver November 2004 Election
Here's an article about the West Corridor portion of the FasTracks project, from the Rocky Mountain News [January 21, 2004, "RTD seeks West Corridor OK"]. An increase in the RTD tax is expected to be on the ballot for voters in November. From the article, "The Regional Transportation District on Tuesday asked the federal government for final approval of the environmental study authorizing construction of the light-rail extension to Lakewood and Golden. The RTD board voted unanimously to apply for a formal "record of decision" from the Federal Transit Administration for what it calls the West Corridor, the last step in a study that has stretched over three years. If the FTA issues the approval, then RTD would have clearance to build the 12.1-mile line. The West Corridor would connect to the existing system at the Auraria West Station on Seventh Street near Colfax Avenue and use the abandoned Associated Railroad freight right of way along West 13th Avenue for much of its length. From the Federal Center at the Sixth Avenue freeway and Union Boulevard, it would then follow the freeway to the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden."
Update: Phil Windley: "Scott Ritchie, a California college student has proposed bringing open source eVoting software from Austrailia and modifying it to meet the demands of the California Secretary of State." Here's the coverage from Wired.
Update: Steve Gilmor: "Rss for president."
