Will Shepard, representing the Boulder Chamber’s Boulder Junction Transportation and Commuter (BTC) work, briefed the commissions at the Jan. 22 meeting on local commuter-benefit programs, upcoming events and a planned RTD transit survey.
Shepard said property coordinators for Depot Square residents can help residents access benefits such as free transit passes and the community e-bike share, and he named Sally Vigil as the likely property coordinator for the Depot building. He also reported that a tenant listed as TransPerfect (and related staff) plans to move back to its original office, and that change will remove roughly 60–85 names from the district’s EcoPass roster and reduce employee travel associated with that employer.
“Your property coordinator, is very likely still Sally Vigil,” Shepard told the commission, and he listed locally available commute options including the b-cycle electric bike share and Colorado Car Share vehicles in the neighborhood. Shepard highlighted winter bike-to-work day on Feb. 14 and other local bike-ride activations that attract regular participation. He also said the chamber is assisting city staff on planning for the core arterial network (including 30th Street and Folsom Street studies) and will post event invitations to the district calendar.
On a longer-range item, Shepard said the chamber plans an RTD transit survey for the Boulder Junction community to inform efforts to resume service at the Boulder Junction Depot RTD station. He said the chamber will share the draft survey with the commissions before distribution and that the survey is intended to provide evidence of rider demand to RTD as part of service-resumption discussions.
