What happened to “keeping it local”?<\/p>\n
Did Aspen City Council and Mayor Steve Skadron forget that small transportation businesses and High Mountain Taxi are local folks who live in housing that the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority requires employees \u2014 such as drivers, dispatchers, mechanics, etc. \u2014 to prove they work X amount of hours and make X amount of money annually?<\/p>\n
How is that possible when jobs are at risk by bringing in outside companies?<\/p>\n
And giving Lyft priority<\/a> to bus lanes? What about the taxi cabs, too? Have you seen Highway 82 eastbound on a summer day around 9 to 11 a.m.? Share the wealth, Mayor Skadron.<\/p>\n As far as the scooters go, I bet the ER at the hospital is thrilled.<\/p>\n Please consider how this will and could affect the people who live here and try to make a living in the already-established transportation industry. They are right under your noses.<\/p>\n Cindy Fioroni<\/p>\n Aspen<\/p>\n Aspen City Council takes local workers for a ride<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRecommended Stories For You<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
