RTD Board Not Considering All Options

Wednesday, February 22 at 6 pm (Doors open at 5 pm)
Omni Interlocken Resort
500 Interlocken Boulevard
Broomfield
There is no bus service to this location, but a shuttle will run from the Church Ranch ParknRide from 5 pm.

There is going to be a public meeting this Wednesday where RTD will try to justify the three alternatives that they have chosen, even though they are not considering some of the very good alternatives. I wonder who is going to get in front of that crowd and claim to be an "expert".

Just so that everyone knows, it is possible to construct a rail line to Longmont that almost completely avoids BNSF tracks. More details to follow.

The Fastracks project team needs to realize that eliminating NW Rail would be a huge mistake. So-called BRT service from Boulder to DUS and back isn't a viable alternative for the NW corridor since many communities wouldn't have access to the bus way. Further, US 36 "BRT" wouldn't operate as a true bus rapid transit system since it is considerably substandard of NBRTI guidelines.
