Late
Implementation for this is later than originally projected due to cost increases in this project with the inflationary environment after 2020. The City is currently working closely with RTD in the planning phase and will be starting construction on the 1st and Main Station in 2026, as well as, a northern RTD station near CO 66 and US 287.
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 2027, 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.
