\t\t\t\t\"train<\/a>The Central Park Station<\/a> is in full throttle, and overall, Stapletonians are enjoying either taking the train or having it as an option. \u201cSuddenly opening up every Lo-Do restaurant as a place to go to dinner is really cool,\u201d said resident Amy DeLay. \u201cWe went down for Mother\u2019s Day, and it was so easy and so much fun.\u201d Other residents agree. \u201cWe will definitely see more Rockies games this season,\u201d said Benjamin Dreesman. \u201cNot having to worry about driving and parking is truly a game changer. Hell, I\u2019m even considering seeing some Avs games this winter. I hope everyone will appreciate how great this train dealio is.\u201d\nNot all Stapleton residents are so enthused. \u201cWestbound comes every 14 minutes and Eastbound every 24 minutes,\u201d explains Central Park North resident Mark Wiley. \u201cWhich is great, except they sound that horn each time they approach the station. Is that necessary, or is it some sort of tradition? Just seems a little unnecessary.\u201d North Eastbridge resident Dawn Buenger agrees. \u201cIt is pretty loud and annoying,\u201d says Buenger. \u201cIs it really that common for people just to walk out in front of a commuter train? They have bells at the station, too. Can\u2019t we just have the bells? It is very disruptive to people close to the area.\u201d\nPark Hill residents remain fairly unaffected by the new transit system, but do have some encouraging news for Stapletonians. \u201cI have lived in Park Hill for 30 years,\u201d exclaimed Randy Day. \u201cWe used to have jets flying over our heads every five minutes. From 6AM until 11PM, every day. Now, I don\u2019t know a ton about decibels, but I do know I would rather have a train horn once in a while than the constant sound of jets taking off and landing.\u201d Long time Park Hill resident Eric Drenner also recalls the noise prior to the Stapleton Airport closing in 1995. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine a train could be any worse,\u201d said Drenner. \u201cMy house would literally shake, almost all day. Does the train make your Stapleton house shake? Probably not. I guess my advice to Stapletonians would be to enjoy the quiet horn of progress, and be happy you never have to worry about a plane crashing down on your house.\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
