I worked for over a decade as an elected official trying to bring some rationality to the planning of Denver’s massive fixed rail transit system. One would have thought watching the issues with DIA would have created a collective consciousness so as to not repeat the same errors with “Guide the Ride” and “FastTracks”. The project went ahead with similar results to DIA. The experiential lesson is that even within a population that has experienced the results of a planning fallacy, they will do it again.
