Public commenter praises Colfax bus-stop upgrades, urges continued Elevate Denver Go Bond funding

A public commenter said a local workforce program helped them move from the restaurant industry into transit work and asked Denver voters to continue funding upgrades to bus stops on Colfax through the Elevate Denver Go Bond.

The commenter said the program "opened up doors," allowing them to work on projects to update bus station infrastructure. "What we're currently doing out here is we're updating bus station infrastructure," they said, adding that the upgrades will include "platforms for busses to make it more efficient" and that "it's much more safe with the designs that we're doing." The speaker called the improvements "a great addition to Colfax."

The speaker tied the project to the Elevate Denver Go Bond, thanking "Denver voters" and urging continued support: "Keep funding us because we love to be out here. Elevate Denver Go Bond, we appreciate the Denver voters." The remarks were framed as personal testimony and a request for continued voter-funded support; the transcript does not record any formal motion, vote, or staff response.

The comments underscore local public support for visible transit improvements on Colfax and highlight one participant's account of workforce benefits from the program. No additional details about timelines, contractor names, specific dollar amounts, or formal board action were provided in the transcript. The public commenter repeatedly emphasized personal satisfaction with the program and its role in their employment transition.

The meeting record ends with the speaker's appeal to voters; the transcript does not show any formal vote or next procedural steps related to the project in these segments.
