Email City Council

Your Denver City Council member has a direct voice in how the city responds to CDOT's Colorado Boulevard BRT proposal. A flood of constituent emails gets noticed. This takes five minutes and it matters.

Step 3 — Send This Email

1. Email your own council member directly. Find your district using the lookup tool above, then send a personal email to your representative. Emails from constituents carry the most weight — so if you only do one thing, make it this.

2. CC everyone else. Copy and paste the full list below into your CC field. Every council member and the mayor's office will see that opposition is coming from across the entire city — not just one neighborhood.

Subject: Oppose Colorado Boulevard BRT — Please Support No Build

Dear Council Member [NAME],

I am a Denver resident writing to urge you to oppose the Colorado Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit project and support the No Build alternative in CDOT's current alternatives analysis.

CDOT is planning to make a decision on this project this summer — before the Colfax BRT has carried a single passenger, before traffic modeling is complete, and before we have any evidence that this model works in Denver. That is not responsible planning. That is rushing a $300 million commitment based on projections, not results.

According to CDOT's own data, the most aggressive alternative would double southbound commute times on Colorado Boulevard — from roughly 25 minutes to 50 minutes. Businesses along the corridor face years of construction disruption. We have already seen what that looks like on Colfax, where businesses reported 20–50% drops in revenue and some closed permanently.

I am asking you to:

• Publicly support the No Build alternative

• Call on CDOT to delay its decision until the Colfax BRT has completed revenue service and produced real ridership data

• Demand complete traffic impact modeling before any alternative is selected

Denver residents deserve evidence-based decisions, not experiments repeated before the first one is finished.

Thank you for your time and your service to our community.

Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
