RAMEY JOHNSON SEEKS RTD BOARD SEAT
Longtime Lakewood resident Ramey Johnson has announced her candidacy to represent District M on the Board of the Regional Transportation District. The election will be held in November of 2008.
Ramey is a former State Legislator with experience in both public and private sectors. Having grown up in the heart of Lakewood near the new Fastracks Lite Rail line and whose husband has continuously ridden the bus for 40 years, she believes her in-depth understanding of the complex issues facing the community and RTD as it begins construction of the 13th Avenue Lite Rail project is invaluable. Johnson expects that the rising cost of gasoline will continue to encourage the use of public transportation, thus requiring RTD to not only be more efficient, but more responsive to the growing demands that will be placed on it. Johnson is best been known for building partnerships and working with people, so everyone feels a sense of win-win.
Johnson’s priorities include:
- Watch dogging the projected current cuts to the West Corridor line and demanding to reinstitute the previously promised original number of security cameras at the stations. Johnson states, “Decreasing cameras gives a false sense of cost containment at the expense of passenger safety.”
- Ensuring that District M has a strong voice on the RTD Board that will fight for this district’s needs by listening and working with the citizens of this district.
- Assuring the very best use of tax payer dollars through efficiency , technology, and especially common sense.
Johnson notes that District M is entirely in Jefferson County stretching from Morrison Road to I-70 and portions Sheridan and Wadsworth on the east to C-470 on the west. Additionally, Johnson states, “I have always remembered who pays a public servants salary- the taxpayer- that is who I am responsible to and always will be. My loyalty is to the citizens. This is a huge district, and deserves an RTD representative who will work with all people”.
