Details
In 2005 the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) initiated the FasTracks project that included future commuter rail service to Longmont. In preparation for construction of a supporting rail station in the vicinity of 1st Avenue and Main Street, the City a adopted master plan for the area in 2012. The City of Longmont and RTD have been partnering in the preparation of plans to locate and construct the transit facilities, including a bus station and parking garage, to provide more immediate bus-rapid-transit service, and future, long-term rail transit. In addition to the transit facilities, the project includes development of a high-density mixed-use project (residential units over commercial space) to be integrated into the construction of the parking garage. The facilities are due to be completed in 2027 allowing for RTD to initiate “bus rapid transit” (BRT) service to Boulder. RTD is also planning on constructing rail serving facilities in proximity in the future.
