It’s a question Coloradans have been asking themselves for decades: When will we finally see the promised RTD train connecting Denver to Boulder and Longmont?
I'm surprised RTD isn't using right-of-way transportation to access via the 36. It's a highway with quite a bit of space on either side for transit development, hence why there are tons of bus-only exits. I'm sure there's a good reason why--I'm just curious.
Denver 7, please do a story on why the elevators and stairs are closed at Union Station? These elevators and stairs connect the underground bus gates with the tracks behind Union Station (tracks 1 to 7). This makes commuters coming up the East escalator go around the South end of the tracks to access tracks 2 through 7. Thank you
If the tax players demanded their money back for a tax that has not been used to do what it promised, it would have to scramble. I love my job, don't get me wrong. The boats needs to be replaced and the system completely overhauled
The only real timely solution here would be to secure Federal funding for this project; the Colorado Constitution's "Taxpayers Bill of Rights" says the state government cannot increase tax levels without a vote of the people, and since the people in Boulder and Longmont have such little trust for RTD, it is incredibly unlikely that they would ever vote to increase taxes to finish FasTracks. Now, Amtrak is expressing interest in opening a rail line along the Front Range, and if they were to utilize the CO-119/US-36 corridor it could help finish the B line; allowing RTD to operate their commuter rail and Amtrak to operate their inter-city rail on the same tracks would cut costs for RTD, and inter-city rail could be a great way for non-commuters to get to Denver and for Amtrak to expand its network
Don't worry, the D's will come up with another tax increase to ensure this project gets delayed again. Oh, sorry, I mean the state will get more fed $'s as they support the failed admin.
I hope this is finished eventually. How the heck did it get so expensive to build???
Where has RTD spent the money they were given by the taxpayers for the B line?

We wanted it, we voted on it, we never got it. We want our tax dollars back.
So, RTD promised a train, took the money, and then decided to not provide said train? I think that's called theft.

But why would you want it now if it is just a “homeless people moving platform” as I’ve heard so many call it?
😌after they done handed out the millions to friends and loved ones they out of cash😅😅😅
