    The Marolt Open Space is a beautiful place. Imagine driving into Aspen going into the roundabout and following the same Hwy. 82 alignment as

    The future of public transportation is unpredictable, autonomous vehicles? Build now a new 3 CC bridge that can be adapted to future needs

    Build a new bridge now in the same location. That is the quickest solution.

    More asphalt lanes has never worked to solve congestion. Anywhere. Ever. Aspen's brand is forward thinking, not 20th Century solutions.

    Build a 3-lane bridge over Castle Creek in the current location. Faster, Cheaper, Less Divisive. The people have spoken on the straight shot (again and again and again). The only time it (narrowly) passed was when coupled with light rail, now no longer feasible. Use "slide in place" technology like the Grand Ave. bridge to speed construction (only 120 days in Glenwood, on a more complex project). Redesign Power Plant Road with a new bridge to give the West End some relief from Sneak congestion during rush hour. Ease the S-curves to increase through-put. Implement the Upper Valley Mobility Study recommendations. There is no silver bullet in this, the Mobility Age, but multiple solutions are out there & we can adopt them all for less cost than a 6-lane straight shot freeway across cherished public open space.

    This is a terrible way to treat your friends neighbors co workers and guests invited to your City. Construct adequate infrastructure now!

    Make buses more appealing

    Do everything possible to have more buses, less crowded, more frequent, and faster and easier than driving. Tourists should be served too but if there’s a way to separate services/buses it will make busing for commuters much more tolerable. There should never be standing people on a BRT. Make the BRTs all coaches. Save the little buses for everything up valley from intercept and push tourists towards those. Build housing for bus drivers to get out of the driver shortage. New straight shot into aspen with dedicated bus lanes all the way in and out. Place vehicle number restrictions on construction projects to incentivize more commuting/bus riding to reduce traffic. Make the bus so chill and enjoyable that it’s the most desirable option- have so many buses that they’re never full and are always available. For skiers- frequent buses from intercept to each mountain. Focus more on bus maintenance- too many breakdowns and rattly buses. If a bus is full, it should not pick up any more passengers- always have another one within 5 minutes or less. Faster Wi-Fi on buses and get rid of dead zones down valley. Thanks
