GRDad,
I was expecting you to show up at the AIA Charette 2 weeks ago, thought I saw your name on the list. Anyway, I was part of the South Division team and we were working directly with Wyoming, Kentwood and ITP staff when we were looking at design solution for that area. The outcome should be released soon, but our recommendation was to put the commuter station at 54th and Division, rather than 60th. The bus would have its own dedicated lane, ONLY during rush hour times. Cars can use that lane anyother time of the day, but can only use it to make right turns during rush hour. It would only stop at major intersections (60th, 54th, 44th, 36th, 28th, etc).
It was really exciting to see the city staff and ITP staff so excited about the BRT line. We also had a few business owners along Division talk with us and they were really supportive too.
I think the 19 stops include all the stops they'll be making at Saint Mary's, Spectrum, etc. Sound like alot but I think its still pretty limited. I hope these changes get implemented, it'll make a drastic change to the landscape of Division into the city.
