Shape Denver's Future: Vibrant Denver 2025 Bond!
Denver is planning its next investment in our city's future – the Vibrant Denver 2025 General Obligation Bond! This bond will fund vital projects like roads, parks, and public safety – without raising taxes!
Your Voice Matters: Join a Committee!
Councilwoman Sandoval is looking for Northwest Denver residents (Council District 1) to serve on bond committees. You'll help recommend projects and ensure our community's needs are met.
Commitment: Attend scheduled meetings starting in March.
In January 2024, RTD made service changes to multiple bus routes, reducing routes during commuter hours. This has caused disruptions for many who rely on public transit to get to work downtown.
RTD is reassessing these changes and seeking public input for adjustments in May 2024. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ensure Sunnyside continues to receive reliable transit service. Please review the bus routes that run through Sunnyside and provide your feedback.
The routes that run through Sunnyside are: 19, 31, 44 and 52.
Please use the link below to see the changes, attend a meeting or contact a planner with your feedback.
Your input matters—let RTD know how these changes have affected you so they can make improvements that serve our community better! 🚎💬
