City Business and Weekend Music

Public Transit in Golden Colorado

City Council meets tonight at 6:30 in City Council Chambers.  Here are a few of the topics.  See the meeting packet for more details.

A group of concerned citizens will visit council to request a meeting to discuss concerns about growth and density in Golden.

RTD Collision of Purposes
On July 27th, Council voted to fund an additional green bus. Their objective was to increase bus service to and from the light rail station from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes, thereby encouraging more frequent use of public transportation. On August 10th, our representative to the RTD board visited Council and let them know that RTD planned to reduce the frequency of light rail service to Golden from every 15 minutes to every 30 minutes at certain times of day. Council is understandably nonplussed about this decision and will vote on a resolution to request that RTD reconsider their plans.

City Staff will present their proposed 2018 Capitol Improvement Plan to Council.

Council will acknowledge an agreement that the Public Art Commission has made with Foothills Art Center and Golden High School to install a mural along north Washington Avenue. The theme will be Help, Hope, and Strength. It ties it with the High School’s suicide prevention program.
