Denver November 2004 Election
Here's the second opposition piece to FasTracks from the Rocky Mountain News editorial staff [September 9, 2004, "Bill for FasTracks should derail it"]. From the editorial, "We also worry whether even $4.7 billion is enough to pay for FasTracks. In one respect, we know it's not enough because RTD says so. It would like to provide a designated lane of bus-rapid transit along U.S. 36, one of the more jammed corridors, but under FasTracks it will have to limit improvements there to providing slip ramps and stations. Meanwhile, genuine bus rapid transit along U.S. 36 - the most cost-effective of the proposed rapid-transit projects - will have to wait until the state comes up with about $200 million, money it simply doesn't have."
