Mayor and Council will likely vote to defer approval of the 74M 30% RTA plan for further study to correct serious problems on April 19, 5:30 @ M&C chambers. Check for meeting location. Under desperate inside pressure, they can also vote to move forward on the flawed plan. Check out the above links. The plan on the table is a downtown killer. The RTA is pushing an “effective” 8 lane plan that disguises itself as a 6 lane context sensitive plan. The 16 bus pullouts split over both sides of the short stretch invalidate outside lanes 5 & 6 as “bus” lanes. So, why does the RTA want 6 traffic lanes of in & out of downtown at the end of Broadway? This moves more traffic to a bottleneck @ 4th Avenue & Congress.
What about the “downtown congestion stigma”? The west end of the Broadway Corridor is an opportunity we need to jump on, hard. An intentional urban corridor for both cars and pedestrians can be part of the destination; a collection promenade; a narrow continuous rubber tired shuttle system to all points with 3 minute leads. It is an obvious extension of the downtown business explosion we see before us. We can coat tail on to this economic phenomena; making a worthy urban destination more accessible to all. 
Think about the 16th St. Denver Mall and then imagine an urban concept, even greater without compromise to the vehicular access we currently enjoy; but vastly smarter than the blinded 75M 30% plan.
