Potentially, they could happen at the same time. That’s a major impact.

I don’t fault anyone who’s a neighbor for being here and protecting what’s important to them. But the entire community is the beneficiary of what we approve at this table.

I think [traffic] is the biggest issue the city faces this year.

Clearly we’ve seen congestion as we haven’t seen it before. The main concern is the length of time it’s taking RFTA buses to get out of town.

Every time we have one of these, the community gets polarized, which is why we want to bring it to the community to get direction.

I think one of the things we’re interested in looking at is, we’ve talked about some of the contractors providing shuttle service for their workers.

I don’t believe there is an emergency. I believe there are perceptions of an emergency. I believe this emergency ordinance is not necessary at this time.

What I’m interested in is why there was such little voter interest in this runoff.

We need to find out what will create a better solution than we currently have.

I love the X Games, Aspen loves the X Games and it’s a great event for this community. It really takes us into the future.

It’s Aspen. If you go to these parties, people are dressed in everything from very casual to very sophisticated. And even the casual is sophisticated. You can wear just about anything.

We should aim high, but not be disappointed if we don’t achieve it.
