Description
The City is currently pursuing new transit systems through the Bus Rapid Transit improvements on the Colorado State highway (CO) 119 corridor which will travel on Hover, Ken Pratt Blvd (CO 119) and Main Street (US 287). This new service, set to start in 2026, also includes reconfigured and new local transit routes, a new mobility/transit hub at 1st/Main, and a new multimodal corridor to bypass buses and people on bicycles (on Coffman Street) away from Main Street, but still within the Main Street corridor.
