Denver's drug market has shifted from one RTD site to another.
While Raville says she's pleased that"RTD boardmembers have been willing to come to the center and talk about what's going on there,
"I, along with then-Chief of Police and Emergency Management Bob Grado, visited the Harm Reduction Action Center in December 2021 to educate myself regarding substance-abuse issues experienced by individuals in the Denver metro area and to better inform myself as to the motivations of individuals who were utilizing Denver Union Station, and specifically the restrooms in the bus concourse, to use illicit substances," Johnson confirms.
Johnson says she's grateful to Raville"for her passion and compassion, and for taking the time to educate me on substance-abuse issues from a humanitarian perspective." But she stresses that the district wouldn't be in favor of hosting a safe-use site:"As a steward of taxpayer dollars, RTD’s core mission is transit-service delivery, and the agency is not in a position to authorize the use of transit facilities for sanctioned safe-injection or drug-use sites.
That approach may not include a position on safe-use sites."The RTD Board of Directors sets policy for the agency, and I, as the general manager and CEO, with the support and assistance of the agency’s employees, implement those policies," notes Johnson."Hence, I am unable to speculate as to the board’s position, as that subject has not been formally discussed."
