RTD maps future amid declining ridership Transit agency announces launch of effort to collect input from public

to run from Denver to Arvada. The .04 is the streetcar model of this specific trolley.

“This was the last car to ever run through Arvada,” said Walter Weart, president of Friends of the .04. “We have documentation that showed it arrived on July 2nd after midnight when the other cars quit the day before.”

Weart bought the streetcar 15 years ago. He and his wife Susanna had spent the last several years renovating street and train cars, including a caboose.

The Regional Transportation District has launched an outreach program to put a long-term plan in place for changes in transportation demands in the Denver area.

Reimagine RTD is a project aimed toward creating a vision for the transportation district as ridership is in decline. Ridership has declined from 103.4 million annual boardings in 2015 to 97.6 million annual boardings in 2018, despite RTD’s total operating budget increasing by more than 44% in that time frame, according to statistics found on RTD’s website, rtddenver.com.

“The landscape is changing, and we need to change along with it,” said RTD CEO Dave Genova. “We know we have a big role to play in that, and how we integrate with other options.”

RTD will collect feedback from the public and consider expert consultation to determine a plan.

Christina Zazueta, community engagement manager for RTD, said this will provide input to help RTD better optimize its current systems.

The streetcar returns Preservation, city officials work to restore historic trolley

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the pavement is stripped on busy roadways, glimpses of the old streetcar line that dominated Denver during much of its early days can sometimes be found. They paint a picture of a bustling and growing city not unlike what you’ll find today.

“If you look, there’s remnants everywhere,” said Kim Grant, director of the Endangered Places program of Colorado Preservation Inc. One example, he said, is the downtown REI building, which used to be the power plant for the Denver Tramway Company, one of the trolley systems.

Although the streetcars shut down as the main way of transportation in 1950, several organizations and metro area residents are working to preserve their history.

Colorado Preservation Inc. and Friends of the .04 Trolley held an event recently to raise funds for their restoration efforts of the last trolley

Meeting people ‘where they’re at’ Denver nonprofit looks to convert former church into affordable housing

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A nonprofit has set its sights on an old church near Cheesman Park as the home of a new affordable housing project. While some residents think the project will serve a need in the community, others have voiced concern over bringing more density into an already dense neighborhood.

St. Francis Center, which is buying the Warren Methodist Church building for $1.25 million, will renovate the building to have 42 units. Because the building is considered a historic landmark, Denver law states that the outside of the building and its structure cannot be changed without approval. Tom Luehrs, the executive director of St. Francis said the nonprofit does not plan on filing for a zoning change since the building is already set for mixed use. This makes the project a use-by-right development. St. Francis is a 36-year-old nonprofit that works to provide housing, jobs and other services to the metro area’s homeless community.

Each unit will be 125 square feet and will be furnished. Instead of having individual bathrooms and kitchens in each unit, there will be communal ones in the building. The renovations will cost around $7 million, Luehrs said.

Luehrs said that the project will be meant for people using St. Francis services who already have a job. The housing will provide them that last step of stability to get them on track to more permanent housing options.

The rent of a unit will be based off the individual renter’s income.

“The idea of the program is really to help people who are employmenteligible, and maybe working already, but can’t find housing at this point to kind of balance their job and a place to live,” Luehrs said. “We’re trying to give people the opportunity to be stable in their jobs with the housing.”

The Warren Methodist Church, 1630 E. 14th Ave., has been closed since July 2014. Since then, the building has been used as temporary event space or for other community needs. St. Francis has worked out of the building providing employment services for the last 10 years.

The affordable balancing act Adam Larkey, a resident who lives across the street from the church, said that one of his biggest concerns is the cost of the project for so few

He and a group of neighbors also had other concerns about the project as well. Larkey is also the director of sales and leasing with Zeppelin Development.

“The need in our community for these services is clear,” he said in an email, “but the group has concerns about issues such as density of similar social services on the same city block, parking, zoning as it relates to a historic property and the best use of government funds for building a project of this type.”

In order for nonprofits such as St. Francis to offer units at an affordable rate, they use tax credits and other funding avenues to make up for the market-rate difference.

The problem, Luehrs said, is that land has gotten expensive in Denver.

It is hard for a nonprofit to find locations that fit all their needs — the right price, the right location and the right number of units.

It can be a balancing act to find the number of units that’s feasible in an affordable housing project, he added.

Indeed, Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church, which owns the building, originally offered it to Warren Village, which neighbors the church. For the last 45 years, Warren Village, 1323 Gilpin St., has provided housing to low-income single parents who are working or going to school.

Warren Village has its roots in the church’s history, said CEO Ethan Hemming. Dr. Myron Waddell, an active member of the church, saw the needs of single parents in the community and worked with the congregation to provide them with a space to live in 1974.

Hemming said that it wasn’t feasible for Warren Village to use the church building for housing because they serve families instead of individuals. The nonprofit was unable to find a ratio of units that accommodated families with children and subsidies that would work.

Although he said Warren Village would be unable to use the building itself, Hemming is looking forward to the possibilities of collaborating with St. Francis on programming for the different communities the two nonprofits serve. He added that he prefers to “start from the assumption that partnership is possible,” rather than the differences between the two organizations.

“(St. Francis is) going after the same things we are: working with people where they’re at,” he said.

Noreen Keleshian, the treasurer and director of administrative services with Mountain Sky, said that it is part of the church’s overall mission to make a difference in the communities they are in. Because of that, she said, it was important to them to find a new owner for the church building that had a mission to help those in need.

“We were very fortunate that the St. Francis Center had an interest in buying the building to do just that,” she said.

Density concerns In addition to costs, Caroline Schomp, the vice president of the Neighbors for Greater Capitol Hill, said they had concerns about the particulars of the zoning for group housing in this project, as well as parking concerns when bringing more people into the neighborhood.

The building is zoned as G-MU-3, or General Urban-Multi-Unit with three stories max height. Luehrs

different, many of the services the nonprofit provides will be the same.

Luehrs said that St. Francis has staff on hand in their buildings to help residents with job and housing resources. Part of this is helping guide residents toward more permanent housing options. He added that there will not be a time restriction for how long tenants stay in the new Warren church units.

As for cars, Luehrs said that often people who were formerly homeless did not have vehicles to begin with.

Only 4% of the tenants living in their Curtis Street units have cars.

He said he expects the new project to have a similar ratio.

Luehrs is hopeful that the residents with concerns over the project will come around. The nonprofit will continue working with the community to address questions that they have. Increased services is the best way to help get people out of the homeless cycle, Luehrs said, but for him, the project is about providing people in need with a private space to call home.

“These type of programs are very effective,” Luehrs said. “Just being able, when you have your own place, to shower when you want to.

A lot of those things are taken for granted.”

Use a Reverse Mortgage to Fund Retirement To qualify for a government-insured reverse mortgage (aka HECM), at least one borrower must be 62, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 40–60% equity. Most types of properties are acceptable. A HECM is also a non-recourse loan, meaning even if your home loses value due to a market downturn, you or your heirs can never be “under water.”

by Kathy Muni According to author Wade Pfau, PhD, CFA, finanical planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage early in retirement outperforms a “last resort” reverse mortgage.

A reverse mortgage is a retirement tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall retirement cashflow plan.

The benefits of a reverse mortgage are numerous.

Coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage reduces strain on the investment portfolio.

This helps manage the risk of having to sell assets at a loss during market downturns. Reverse mortgages can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternate source of cash during market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

Additionally, opening a reverse mortgage early—especially when interest rates are low—ensures the principal limit (loan balance plus remaining line of credit) that you can access will continue to grow throughout retirement.

Show me the gore, I’ll show you the door

F

or unknown reasons, I have never wanted to enter the rhythm of a Black Sabbath concert, or walk down the mall with fake blood on my face, or a fake severed head under my arm.

Maybe you can tell me where the entertainment is in pretend zombies and vampires, and in haunted houses drip- QUIET ping with viscera.

DESPERATION Fangs for the memories?

Death has fascinated the living: forever.

The Egyptians spent their lives preparing their royalty for death. More specifically, afterlife. And they have provided us with ev- Craig Marshall erlasting memorials, Smith and archaeologists with everlasting employment.

Author (“Peter Pan”) J. M. Barrie said, “To die will be an awfully big adventure.”

That’s one way to look at it. However, I have no plans to precede death with faked death, via violent video games, or action films, or staggering through Douglas County looking like I survived a shooting.

I admit I was a fan of Universal’s 1930s horror films, especially “Frankenstein,” “The Wolfman,” and “The Mummy.”

Additionally, “The Invisible Man,” directed by James Whale (the subject of 1998’s “God and Monsters”), while not exactly a horror film, is close to one, and holds up to this day as an example of exceptional filmmaking.

For part of the film, actor Claude Rains resembles a mummy.

Those films, while depicting violence and death, were bloodless.

Along the way, films changed along with everything else.

Actual deaths have been shown on television, and are readily available online.

“Simulated Deaths” is director Quentin Tarantino’s middle name, but he wasn’t the first.

Director Sam Peckinpah, and others, choreographed death and made it look fashionable.

When I was in college, I heard about a band named Alice Cooper. A band comprised of young men named after a female would have been enough to counter the Beach Boys, for example, but when I heard their live act (as it were) glamorized death, I veered away from them.

It turned out “Alice” was a scrawny kid from a Phoenix suburb who became a pretty good golfer, and not much of a threat to the women and children of America.

Nevertheless, I don’t comprehend the attraction.

I am not a deep-dish philosopher, but if I were one, perhaps I would say that we sometimes offset the fear of death or the reality of death with things like “Day of the Dead” and zombie crawls.

Perhaps there is a factory-installed gene we share that makes us want to create and watch and play violent video games. I just wasn’t given one.

There have been discussions for years about the relationship, if any, between real-life horrors and shock films that feature exceptionally realistic decapitations, severed arms and legs, and buckets of blood.

The thought of being the director of what are called “splatter films” in the aftermath of something like the Las Vegas mass shooting would be untenable to me.

If there were no real-life instances of horror perhaps I would have a better understanding.

When I hear about two children being submerged in an oil tank by their father, I am not tempted by a matinee of anything similar.

Many others can find a significant difference between actual gore and staged gore. Not me.

Spoilsport? Absolutely.

My porch lights are off on Halloween.

Finding the value in our values

I

f you have never taken the time to identify or define what your values are, or what your belief system is, don’t sweat it because you are not alone. As a matter of fact, most people just assume they know what their values are — they know what belief system they follow to make decisions in life and in business. WINNING Recently I found WORDS myself going through this exercise again with a few people whom I coach, and a company I work with. We talked about what their mission was, we discussed and strategized on their vision, and when it Michael Norton came to values, well, they either struggled a little bit or came up with the most common values that almost everyone starts out with; honesty, integrity, continuous learning, engagement, open communication, etc.

DENVER Since 1926

Here is why they struggle or come up with those common values: They get the order wrong. What happens most times is that individuals and organizations typically start out with trying to define their mission, vision, and values. And it’s usually attempted in that order. Maybe they begin with a mission statement or a vision statement. And once they have completed those, then they try and come up with the values that best represent them or their company, or the values they hope to be recognized by as a person or organization.

My suggestion is always to reverse the order. If we know what we value most at work and in life, we can begin to place a value on that. And once we truly know what it is that we value, and the foundation of our belief system, we can then create the vision for how we can live out those values personally and professionally. And now that we know the values that drive us, and what we see as our vision and opportunities ahead of us, we can now determine our mission and how we can be the best person we can pos-

sibly be, providing the best service to others we can possibly provide, and be better positioned to live out our mission and purpose.

It starts with valuing our values.

What currency do we place on our values? Where are we willing to compromise on our beliefs? If we are not rooted in our values, how can we even attempt a mission, mission statement, or vision for our lives or for our company? Will we compromise our values for money? Will we discount our belief system to work at a company where we know our values are not aligned? Will we concede on what fundamentally drives our company in order to hire someone who is not a fit culturally or aligned with our values?

Too often, we all, or at least most of us, make this mistake.

Why does this happen? Why do we make this mistake? Because we assume that we know what our values are — I mean doesn’t everyone? Of course we think we do. And maybe we even think that we ourselves live and work by the virtues we respect the most. But until we take the time

to write them down, identify them, define them, understand them, and commit to them, we can never place the proper value on what it is that we value most and what we will not give up or compromise.

One of my very favorite quotes when it comes to personal and professional values comes from Roy Disney, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”

So how about you? Have you gone beyond just assuming you know and live by a certain belief system, and have identified and understand what you value and why? Are you confident that your belief system is driving your vision and mission? I really would love to hear your value, vision, and mission story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can place the right value on what we value most, it really will be a better than good week.

TROLLEY FROM PAGE 1

But the Wearts’ restoration efforts fell through, and since then it’s been sitting in storage.

During the event, members of Arvada City Council and the Friends of the .04 took a ride the on the Denver Trolley, run by the Denver Tramway Heritage Society, a nonprofit that also works to preserve the history of the streetcar line.

To Ethan Yazzie-Mintz, president of the board of the tramway society, the streetcars give you an idea of what life was like in Denver’s earliest days.

“It was a city that was built on rail,” he said.

The Denver Trolley runs along the Platte River, stopping at locations such as the Downtown Aquarium and the Children’s Museum. It follows an old bypass track that national trains could use when the rail traffic in Denver was heavy.

Restoring the .04 Colorado Preservation Inc.’s Endangered Places program focuses on saving historic buildings and resources like the streetcar, said Grant. Since it was founded, the department has saved 47 sites and has an additional 44 on its “in progress” list. The Weart’s trolley was first put on the preservation list in 2015.

“These are the kind of sites and resources that tell the story of Colorado’s development,” Grant said. He added that the streetcar presented more of a challenge to the organization since it was once a vehicle and not a building. Finding people to restore a historic item like that can also be tricky.

Susanna Weart said they also worked to get the car put on the state’s register of historic places. The Friends of the .04 would also like to have it put on the national list.

Grant was working for the city of Arvada in 2014 when the Wearts started to bring people together to restore the car. Several people joined together to form the Friends of the .04.

Staff at the city of Arvada wrote and received a State Historical Fund grant for $200,000. The groups are trying to raise an additional $200,000 for the project through events and a GoFundMe page.

Grant estimated that it will take eight months to restore the streetcar.

Once it is completed it will be put on display somewhere in Old Towne Arvada. Grant said a final place has not been decided on, but most groups are hopeful it will be in an area where the streetcar tracks used to bring the trolleys in from Denver.

“Until the ‘30s, that was the main way to get from downtown Denver to Arvada, and back,” Grant said.

h

Streetcar history The streetcar system started with .horse-drawn trolleys in the 1872. Then, the system was converted to the more modern electric car. Some, like the Denver Trolley that runs by the Platte River downtown, ran on an electricdiesel engine.

For Ryan Keeney, the streetcar become an obsession. Keeny said he had

The trolley is run by the Denver Tramway Heritage Society and operates during the summer season.

Trolleys stop at the flagship REI in Denver, and follow the Platte River to stops such as Broncos Stadium and the Downtown Aquarium. Streetcar trolleys first came to Denver in the late 1800s and were the main way of getting around town until 1950.

KAILYN LAMB always been interested in land use and how it was used for transportation.

While working toward his master’s in Geographic Information Systems at the University of Denver, a professor suggested Keeney look into the streetcars.

The suggestion became a capstone project: an in-depth map of the streetcar system that eventually grew to all of Denver and reached out to the suburbs. The streetcar system eventually had 250 miles of track and around 100 trolleys.

To Keeney, the streetcar system’s legacy is the Regional Transportation District. Denver Tramway Corporation continued to run the city’s transit system after the streetcars were discontinued in 1950. The organization ceased operations 21 years later, when the city took over under the name Denver Metro Transit. Voters approved the creation of RTD in 1974.

The expansion of the trolley lines built entire neighborhoods in the city, Keeney said, calling them “microtransportation districts.” Yazzie-Mintz agreed, adding that the expansion into the suburbs allowed people to live out there and still get into the city for work.

The Denver Tramway Heritage Society has been trying to expand its footprint in Denver. For many of its 31 years, the trolley only ran on weekends and was run almost entirely by volunteers. About five years ago, the nonprofit expanded its trolley services to five days a week during the summer season, Yazzie-Mintz said. They also added a seasonal staff.

The organization received a little more funding this year as well. The Scientific and Cultural Facilities

District, which provides grants to nonprofits around the state through tax funds, upped Denver Tramway Heritage Society’s grant from $8,000 to $11,000 this year, Yazzie-Mintz said.

Those funds mostly go back into the trolleys, he added. Recently, the company had to rewind its trolley’s engine, which cost around $30,000.

Parts for the historic cars can also be hard to find.

“There’s no AAA for trolleys,” Yazzie-Mintz joked.

But keeping the history alive is im-

portant. Yazzie-Mintz said that many of the volunteers that kept the Denver Trolley going was due to their passion for the streetcar system. The trolleys give you “a sense of the history of the city,” he added.

With the city investing in new light rail systems, Yazzie-Mintz said it’s interesting to see the state going back to train tracks. The trolleys were the transportation of Denver’s past, but the still seem to influence the future, he said.

“This trolley really bridges that.”

Events are among many happening around Denver metro area

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

L

eaves are changing colors and falling from trees; the cool, crisp fall air can be felt in the morning; and costume shops are starting to pop up. October is here.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate fall and Halloween across the Denver metro area. Here are some ideas for how to get out of the of the house and get festive through the rest of the month.

Contact: www.cityofwestminster. us/HalloweenHarvestFestival The scoop: Westminster’s Halloween Harvest Festival will feature trick-or-treating, live music, food trucks, jumping castles, arts and crafts, a barbecue competition, a pumpkin patch and more. The event will feature a hot-air balloon glow, paying homage to the old Westminster Mall.

“It’s different than your typical fall festival, because we have different aspects with it,” said Lauren Gladu, marketing analyst for the City of Westminster.

there will be a Halloween pet costume contest. Event organizers recommend a $5 donation for the contest to benefit the Foothills Animal Shelter. Live music will also be at the event.

“It’s a blast. People really get into (the pet costume contest), and it goes to a good cause,” said Janelle Hinton, marketing director for Belmar.

Families also get an early start (on the holiday),” said Josh Rivero, president of the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker.

RTD FROM PAGE 1

Zazueta said RTD wants to hear equally from longtime bus and rail riders as well as those who don’t use public transit as much.

“We realize how important it is to hear from riders as well as nonriders,” Zazueta said. “We consider them both part of our community and it’s everyone’s system … Even if it’s a non-rider, we want to know their experience that would make them consider using the RTD system.”

RTD hosted the inaugural telephone town hall Oct. 2 to introduce the project. Each of RTD’s 15 internal districts will have its own telephone town hall to solicit feedback. Callers will be able to ask questions over the phone and answer questions about how to improve things like service demands, alternative transit options and RTD’s driver and rail operator shortage.

RTD is no stranger to complaints from rail and bus commuters regarding inconsistent arrival times and overall lack of service. RTD has said it does not have enough rail operators or bus drivers to handle RTD’s service demand.

RTD serves an area that spans eight counties with a total popu-

lation of 3.1 million. RTD owns 1,026 buses and has 58.5 miles of light rail track and 40 miles of commuter rail track.

RTD is celebrating 50 years in operation. Light rail was introduced to Denver in October, 1994.

RTD operates eight light rail lines and three commuter rail lines.

The Denver Regional Council of Governments is also in the midst of drafting its 2050 plan, which will take into consideration input received through RTD’s Reimagine program. Jacob Riger, manager of long-term transportation at DRCOG, said the Denver area’s ensuing growth means addressing safety needs, first and foremost, while needing to consider changing technology and finding creative ways to build partnerships to help fund transportation projects.

Riger said DRCOG and RTD have not announced specific long-term project partnerships yet, but said DRCOG will be fully participatory in the work RTD is doing.

Riger said the DRCOG 2050 transportation plan is expected to be finished in 2021.

“I could see a future where transportation solutions are customized to community needs,” Riger said. “I think we need to think differently about our transportation needs as this area evolves.”
