Which speaks to the importance of improving transit on East Colfax and getting it done right with center-running BRT.
Perhaps using not bus-friendly Orange County's favoring investments in enhanced bus service along with Cleveland's Health Line could help convince the naysayers. Hopefully a little salesmanship along with a great presentation can mitigate the stubbornness of skeptics. I'd even accept a near-term off-peak sharing of the dedicated lanes which I assume would be a disaster for everyone, lol, but whatever will get to center-running bus lanes is all I care about. It's a Big investment and it's too important to get it right from the get-go.

This suggests that Federal should be the next focus after East Colfax. Broadway/Lincoln is already a work-in-progress.
I wasn't aware that Havana had that much ridership although I'm not shocked. At the point where voters approve more funding for RTD, then Havana is a corridor I assumed should be improved. Just another good example why passing
D-Met Transport is a critical piece.
