Letter: Turtles could have planned race better
I was going to submit a rather enraged piece I wrote while sitting on the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority bus for two hours during my arduous journey from Rubey Park to the intercept lot Monday evening.
I have since had time to process the 120 minutes of my life that was wasted because of the city’s complete lack of planning and disregard for its local residents — and I’ve decided what I think would be a fair retribution:
The genius(es) responsible for allowing the race to end during rush-hour traffic, trapping hundreds of Roaring Fork Valley residents in Aspen, should be fired from their job(s) and given a new one: schlepping iPads around on their backs on the roof at the new Aspen Art Museum.
The turtles could have done a better job planning this race. They also could have traveled back to Snowmass faster than I did yesterday.
I’d call that fair.
