But now that the through streets are allowing Stapleton residents to speed through to cut a little time off their trips to Costco, Aurorans have found their sometimes peaceful neighborhood has become a little less peaceful.  \u201cWe have definitely noticed an increase in traffic,\u201d said Megan Glynn.  \u201cIt has been disruptive to our community.\u201d  Megan said that most of the damage is emotional.  \u201cYou see them driving by in their expensive SUVs not even making eye contact with us.  I bet when they drive in Stapleton, they acknowledge others around them.  When they drive through here, it\u2019s obvious they are just trying to get through without even smiling.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nStapleton residents have quietly enjoyed the new through streets.  \u201cI know it\u2019s not popular to like them,\u201d said resident Barbara Kabele.  \u201cBut it really has helped me out.  During the week, I bet I shave off an hour of my errands due to being able to cut right through there.\u201d\nShockingly, the through streets aren\u2019t having the negative effects that were expected for Stapletonians.  \u201cI really haven\u2019t noticed anything different,\u201d said resident Michelle Sellers.  \u201cIn fact, the only thing I can think of is one time I was crossing Fulton on 26th and an Aurora man almost didn\u2019t stop.  But, no one was hurt.\u201d  Some residents don\u2019t see any effects but still don\u2019t like it.  \u201cI really haven\u2019t seen anything bad yet,\u201d said Mark Kimball.  \u201cStill, I just don\u2019t like Aurora people in our neighborhood, even if it is just passing by.\u201d\nAurora residents are hoping Stapleton residents go back to taking the long way.  \u201cWe don\u2019t need the extra traffic, and we certainly don\u2019t need them snubbing their noses at us,\u201d said Glynn.  Unfortunately for Glynn, she knows there is not much she can do about it.  \u201cIn the end, it feels like rich white people got their way again.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4160","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-66","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4160\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
