reporter inquiry
Leigh Paterson
Hey there Mayor Hall,
Just left you a voicemail, following up with an email in case it’s the best way to reach you right now.
I’m working on a short news item about the status of the Loop project and what visitors to Estes can expect this summer. Do you have time for a quick phone interview tomorrow or next week?
Thanks!
Leigh

Hi! Maybe that was with a reporter from CPR? Nobody from my station has covered the Loop recently….

Thanks, got it! I hear that there was an NPR discussion of construction challenges in Estes yesterday, Monday? Do you have a link that I could listen to what was said in that before we meet? It won’t impact my comments, but it would be
good to hear, if possible. Thanks!

Mayor Hall! My apologies for forgetting to email the segment to you. It aired on June 20th and 21st. There was no online version but here is what we broadcasted:
HOST INTRO: Road construction on a controversial traffic project in Estes (ESS-tess) Park continues this summer as tourists pass through en route to Rocky Mountain National Park. KUNC’s Leigh Paterson has more on what visitors can expect.
AUDIO: LP_0620_LoopLag_Wrap.wav (:45 sec)
The goal of the Downtown Estes Loop Project is to ease congestion in town and get drivers to and from Rocky Mountain National Park quicker. But construction of The Loop has taken over parts of the small downtown. Mayor Gary Hall says tourists will have to navigate new one way roads and signals.
(SOUNDBITE MAYOR HALL) Speaker 2: [00:05:15] word's gotten around that while it, it's a bit of a traffic jam up in Estes. Well, you actually can get through downtown most of the time in 3 or 4 minutes..
Economic disruption due to the construction recently prompted town officials to approve $200,000 in grants to impacted businesses. The Loop project is set to be completed in January of 2025. Leigh Paterson, KUNC.

Leigh, I think the item aired a week ago Friday; I had a couple of folks mention they heard it.
I can't find it online on the website -- can you send me a link for that broadcast, or direct me to where it can be found? Thanks!
