Denver November 2004 Election
There will be debate about continuing the Scientific and Cultural District tax tonight on KBDI, Channel 12, 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.
Here's the third editorial speaking out against FasTracks from the Rocky Mountain News [September 10, 2004, "Too many eggs in one FasTracks basket"]. From the editorial, "So what is the answer? Despite our strong skepticism of FasTracks, we are not opponents of rapid transit. We supported regional Referendum 4A in 1999, which authorized the Regional Transportation District to float bonds to build the southeast rail line that is now under way, and are pleased with the relative success of the southwest line that preceded it. We'd support a third line of rail between downtown Denver and the Jefferson County government center as part of a regional plan, as well as a designated lane of bus-rapid transit along U.S. 36 to Boulder. Beyond that, however, further rapid transit lines need to be assessed in light of the competing need for additional revenue to improve metro roads and highways, on which the vast majority of us will continue to travel."
