Reynolds: Driving saturation

Here it comes again. Just when we were hoping for road ease from summer tourists departing, school is starting.
On our geographically constrained roadways from Rifle to Aspen, expect over 12,000 students, faculty and staff, Thursday, Aug. 15 and beyond. On the roads for morning commutes, during the day looking for lunch and continuing with after school activities.
Take a minute, think about everyone who we share our roads with, drive focused and
slow down in town.
