Completely understand, but it should be something to consider. Obviously the current buildout would be difficult to adjust considering the amount of growth around the tracks as is, but the issues stands. Back to my question though, public transit should be a big part of a large city... not just to ease congestion, but as a means of transportation that assists in the reduction of green house gasses. How do you plan to move that forward in the future?

I lived in CO for nearly 15 years through the buildout of the light rail system, moved away for a while, and am happily returning soon. My question relates to the light rail. Why is it that the system is only one track? Wouldn’t it make more sense to put in a secondary track to allow for non-stop trains from say the Lincoln station (or other large hubs) into downtown for games etc? I feel this was a missed opportunity.

If elected what would you do to help this situation? It always feels as though CO is expanding to meet the need that exists when the project starts, not the need that will exist when the project completes (TREX is another example).
