For more information, visit the City of Westminster website: http://www.ci.westminster.co.us/CityGovernment/CommunityDevelopment/PlanningDivision/CommuterRail/WestminsterStation

Unfortunately, Westminster does not seem to realize that people who currently take trains and buses will be taking this train. Hopefully, that fact does not wreck B Line operations. The new train will run between Westminster Station (71st and Hooker) and Union Station. It is a commuter rail train like the train to the airport, not a light rail. The area may be served by the 31 bus but I don't think that the City of Westminster has thought about walkability or bikeability in the area.

Update: Apparently, the 31 and the 72 buses will serve this station.

The B Line also has its own page on the RTD website: http://www.rtd-denver.com/b-line.shtml
