Due to some additional revenue that RTD will be securing next year, I joined my RTD Board colleagues at last Tuesday's committee meeting in a vote to eliminate most of the planned January service cuts. This includes the proposed changes to Route 205. We will be taking final action on all of the proposed January service adjustements at next Tuesday's Board meeting. I will report on the final outcome in an update to my website. In the meantime, thanks for your advocacy on behalf of the 205.

Ramirez-Aguilar Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:02:04 +0000 http://www.johntayer.org/?p=236#comment-1237 John, I strongly oppose the cutting the 205C service. It will devastate our service along Spine Rd. in Gunbarrel. This cut would equates to a 2/3 loss of service along Spine Rd. Not only does that mean a loss to us, but a loss to RTD as well since Spine Rd provides RTD's system with many riders from our many neighborhoods, condo complexes, and businesses (Celestial, Covidian, Leaning Tree, etc.). Please do whatever you can, John, to not let this happen. We need this service. Plus we have been putting money into RTD through a couple of neighborhood Eco-Pass programs as well as a tax, I believe, which we passed a couple of years ago with Boulder County which I believe listed the 205 (I know the J bus was listed).
