RTD service reduction proposalDraft proposal presented December 19
On December 19, RTD presented a service reduction proposal to their Board. If approved, the impacts to Lyons would be effective in late May 2020. The service reductions to the Y route (Lyons- Boulder) propose to cancel the 5:35 am southbound service and the 6:39 pm northbound route, primarily due to very low ridership. The other two morning southbound routes, 6:37 am and 7:47 am and the afternoon northbound routes 4:09 pm and 5:26 pm would remain.
