Denver 2018?

Today's Denver Post outlines preliminary discussions about Denver making a bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics. One of the civic characteristics I have always admired about the Denver Region is its aspirational nature. The region seems to be at its best when it is pursuing an exciting long-term goal. I think that this is an interesting and worthy endeavor loaded with economic development potential. Perhaps this could be the catalyst needed to invest in public transportation linkages between the Denver Metro Area and the mountain resorts.
