On Wednesday, April 22, in Canon City, CO, ROAR presented construction, environmental and safety concerns to the Front Range Regional Advisory Council (RAC).
Dan Ainsworth, president of ROAR, detailed some of the construction equipment proposed in Christo's plan as submitted to the BLM for the EIS. Paired with photos and descriptions in a PowerPoint presentation, it brought a compelling sense of scale to the impacts of this proposed industrial assault on Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Safety, economic and environmental concerns rounded out the program. An extended Q&A followed, demonstrating the council's commitment to hearing and understanding all the processes and considerations involved in the OTR proposal. Along that line, it must be mentioned that a pro-OTR contingent presented at a previous RAC meeting.
An abbreviated version of the PowerPoint slide show will be added to ROAR's website within a few days.
