Reduced-fare taxi rides for transit-dependent Castle Rock residents will be available on Saturdays and some holidays in 2012, in addition to during the week, Town Council decided recently.

The taxi service started this year, after the Town bus service was eliminated. The Town pays a maximum of $10 per trip, and passengers must pay charges in excess of that amount.

The final phase of concrete (red median cover) is nearly complete.

Due to the colder temperatures and precipitation in December, crews are not able to complete the seeding on the eastbound shoulder and retention ponds. This means that the project will be put on hold until early spring, when conditions allow work to continue.

Press Release

DENVER -- The Regional Transportation District (RTD) started a new way of reaching out to the public Monday, Nov. 28 through telephone town hall meetings. RTD Directors Bill McMullen and Tom Tobiassen each called residents of their districts to talk about RTD’s programs, services and projects.

The first two telephone town halls of a 15-meeting series occurred Monday evening, with residents of the two districts participating to learn about local bus and rail service, RTD’s FasTracks transit expansion program and other projects underway. Through the town hall series RTD will randomly call more than 400,000 people through innovative telephone technology and invite them to participate in the telephone forum. This allows board members to reach out and speak directly with members of the community.
