\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Erin Logan was walking along the trail on 29th St. when she saw an RTD bus<\/a> heading her way on the street. She quickly ducked behind a tree in case the driver lost control of the vehicle. The bus continued on its way without hitting her, and made its passenger pickup on 29th. Luckily, there was no incident. This time. \u201cI am okay, and no one was hurt,\u201d said Logan. \u201cYeah, I was a bit lucky, so I am going to make sure I check the bus schedule and just avoid being on 29th Street during those times.\u201d\n\nLogan says the bus wasn\u2019t very loud, but certainly was big. \u201cIt was actually really quiet. But maybe that\u2019s a bad thing. What if kids are riding their bikes and simply can\u2019t hear it coming? Are RTD bus drivers taught how to avoid hitting kids? I just don\u2019t know. I mean, it was really big. Much bigger than a car.\u201d\nSo far, amazingly RTD buses in Stapleton have been able to sneak through without incident. \u201cThat\u2019s incredible to me,\u201d says Logan. \u201cThat just means we are going to have a pretty bad streak of bus issues out here since so far we have not.\u201d RTD officials mention that there haven\u2019t been any real complaints. \u201cSo far, so good,\u201d said RTD Director of Operations Steve Harold. \u201cWe have received a handful of complaints from people in that area, but nothing we consider legitimate. For example, one of the complaints had to do with the bus being dirty and that all buses traveling through Stapleton should be cleaned prior to driving through. We really don\u2019t even consider things like that.\u201d\nDespite the lack of issues from the buses, Logan will continue to fight against them. \u201cI know we live in the city,\u201d said Logan. \u201cBut, I want the things from a city that I like, and don\u2019t want the things I don\u2019t like. I will continue to fight to make Stapleton a safer and better place.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
