But to build a $6 billion rail transit network but neglect accessibility is just plain dumb... and lazy.

Very true and a big reason that metro Denver should't be looked at as a transit model. As a former metro resident prior to FasTracks passing it was various communities all trying to get "my slice of the pie" after the first 5.3 mile line of light rail was built (I worked as a part-time consultant on the southwest corridor to Littleton plus on the Arvada transportation committee) so yes when will we get our corridor was as much a part of DRCOG planning as the plan itself.
RTD promised that once the rail lines were in place that the current bus service would be re-deployed to service inner neighborhoods with higher frequency service which did not seem to happen..
