Proposal would provide more public transit options to Red Rocks and other area parks
DENVER (KDVR) — Getting to Red Rocks Amphitheatre and other parks in that area is not always easy. Under a new proposal, shuttles could be added to the public transportation mix, and those could be tested starting in August or September. Full list of concerts at Red Rocks in 2025 'The pilot will be a daytime pilot through the cities of Morrison and Golden, including Red Rocks,' said Denver City Council Member Darrell Watson. He says RTD's W line runs from Denver to Golden. Under the proposal, daytime shuttles would then be available to take people from there to Red Rocks, which is about three miles away, and to other parks in the area. The test run could happen over two weekends in August or September. Watson is working with Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr and others to apply for a grant from RTD. 'That could provide up to $1,000,000 to make sure that this pilot that we are doing this summer, that we can actually extend that to the entire summer for 2026,' Watson said. The city council member hopes that this will lay the groundwork to expand the service to nighttime hours in order to accommodate concertgoers at Red Rocks. Free on Your TV • New FOX31+ App for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV 'There are over a million concertgoers that go to Red Rocks every year, and most of those folks are driving from Denver,' he said. Public transportation, Watson said, could help address many issues. 'We believe it's a safety issue. We believe it's an environmental impact issue, and we see it as a great opportunity with the W line already going there,' he said. RTD says they will announce the latest round of grant recipients in August. The group is also looking for additional funding. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dennis Lehane Roasts ‘Draft Dodger' Trump's $45 Million Birthday Parade as ‘Height of Performative Masculinity'
Novelist and 'Black Bird' creator Dennis Lehane went off script Tuesday to call out Donald Trump's $45 million military parade Saturday commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary — and, yes, the president's June 14 birthday. He called the spectacle 'the height of performative masculinity.' Speaking to TheWrap for his new Apple TV+ project, 'Smoke,' the acclaimed author ('Gone, Baby, Gone,' 'Mystic River,' 'Shutter Island') briefly weighed in on Trump's antics, calling him a draft dodger and even comparing the president to a 'whiny little bitch' character from the new series. 'I usually steer away from politics,' Lehane said, bringing up the topic himself, 'but let's just say, on one very simple issue, to be a draft dodger who's trying to throw yourself a military birthday parade is the height of performative masculinity. I don't even know where to go with that. We've literally met the death of irony.' Trump is rolling out a military parade on Saturday to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. army — and it also happens to fall on his 79th birthday. An Army spokesperson said that the parade is expected to cost upwards of $45 million. On Tuesday, amid reports that protests against the parade are being planned online, the Trump told White House reporters, 'And if there's any protester that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force.' Lehane's comments sprang out of a discussion of the tightly wound arson investigator Dave Gudsen in 'Smoke,' played by Taron Egerton, reuniting with the creator after 'Black Bird.' Lehane explained, 'Taron and I wanted to get at that with Dave. He's so unempathetic, and yet he's such a whiny little sentimental bitch when it comes to his own needs.' In the series, which premieres with its first two episodes June 27, Dave is frustrated by being assigned a female partner (Jurnee Smollett) he never asked for to track down two serial arsonists. 'Taron and I are both fascinated by performative masculinity. It's just an interesting phenomenon that we're starting to see the worst end result of right now. We're living in it,' Lehane continued. Dave also clashes with his apathetic teenage stepson, who's made it clear David will never live up to his own father. 'That's what Dave Gudsen represents in a lot of ways. When he says to his wife, 'The kid just needs to f–king man up.' And she says, 'Oh, we're here for some truth?'' 'Some people are always like that. The people who were always like, 'Why should I feel anything for anybody?' are always the whiniest bitches,' Lehane said. 'Smoke' premieres with two episodes on June 27 and airs new episodes Fridays. Check back later for TheWrap's full interview with Lehane.
