Thanks for the link.  It seems to me that if they were willing to take out some parking in the area they could achieve their goal of getting a dedicated bus lane without taking out a lane for cars.  There is currently 5 lanes, two each, a shared turn lane and a row of parking on each side of the street.  There is lots of room on Colfax and the City should be able to get creative and come up with a better plan that maximizes both Bus and Car capacity.  Some bike infrastructure would be nice too.  Reducing parking is always a touchy subject but the City needs to figure out what it wants to do with Colfax.  Make it a thoroughfare that moves people from East to West, or make it a scaled out version of 16th St mall with public transportation and businesses as the main focus of the road. I like the idea of the buses getting priority traffic signals like they do along Lincoln during rush hour.  But it seems like a waste of space if the dedicated bus lanes are only operating during rush hour.
