A reminder: Judy is asking folks to speak out in favor of electric trains at tonight’s meeting about the East Corridor commuter-rail line (the DIA route) of Fastracks. The meeting takes place at the Swansea Rec Center, 2650 East 49th Avenue, beginning at 6 p.m. The RTD Board is still deliberating on which technologies to use on which commuter-rail lines, and citizens throughout the transit district are speaking loudly in favor of EMUs and against diesel trains. Tonight’s meeting is one of the last opportunities to add your voice to the chorus; the Board is expected to make a final decision next week.
Whether or not you can be at tonight’s meeting, you might like to attend another event taking place this weekend: The dedication of the Downtown Children’s Playground will occur on Saturday, June 21, at 11:30 a.m. It’s gonna be a big party, celebrating the many months of hard work that LoDo residents and neighborhood groups put into this project. The playground is more than just a climbing structure and a bunch of swingsets; it’s another step toward realizing the vision of a livable downtown. The same principle lies at the heart of the Downtown Area Plan approved by City Council last week.
