DENVER — More than 20,000 people ride the RTD 15 and 15L buses every single day, which travel east and west on Colfax, with thousands more driving through the busy corridor. In the next few years, it's likely that all those who use the roadway to travel will be impacted by the East Colfax BRT Project, which broke ground Friday. 'This is a very, very welcome, long overdue project,' said Richard Bamber, with Greater Denver Transit.

It's something business owners, like Holly Brooks, who's owned the Capitol Hill Bookstore for about 20 years, isn't excited for. 'They came and told me that they were going to do that, and I screamed,' she said. Brooks told Denver7 her business relies primarily on customers who drive there. Inherently, those commuters require a place to park. The problem for Brooks is the project will reduce 970 parking spots in the area by 300.
