Lately I have been walking downtown after work each day and taking the Light Rail (Rapid Transit) train home from Denver's Union Station. Not only is it a pleasant walk, but it helps keep the pounds off. Public transportation has made great strides here in Denver over the past few years. There are 5 new Light Rail projects currently being built here. Lines are being built to the airport (near the Kansas State line), to and through the suburbs of Arvada and Aurora, and to the north and northwest. The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is even thinking of extending a line into my favorite town - Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where I used to work delivering the mail. However, I must advise RTD to think very carefully about expanding to Highlands Ranch. As most people now know, it is overrun by wolves and/or coyotes (is there a difference?), and if reports of commuters being attacked and eaten while waiting for trains began airing on the local television news, it might seriously deter riders. I'm just sayin'.
