Bus Rapid Transit is coming to Colorado Boulevard
News Release
Denver - The Colorado Department of Transportation will host an open house on Thursday, Sept. 12, for the public to learn about changes coming to Colorado Boulevard. As one of the busiest transit corridors in metro Denver, buses on Colorado Boulevard experience significant delays, resulting in long travel times. CDOT is working on a planning study to improve travel on parts of Colorado Boulevard through Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service in the area between I-70 and the Southmoor transit station south of Hampden Avenue.
Public open house
- When: Thursday, Sept. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m.
- Where: Hilton Garden Inn Denver/Cherry Creek in the Rainier Room (600 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80246)
- What: Attendees will learn more about the vision, purpose and benefits of the Colorado Boulevard BRT project and provide feedback on project priorities and areas for improvement along the corridor. CDOT representatives and project team members will be available to answer questions and provide information
Spanish interpreters will be available. Email us at [email protected] to request any special accommodations, including sign language. Food and refreshments will be provided, and an activity table will be set up for children. Transit riders can take the RTD Route 40 bus, which has stops near the meeting location. Pedestrians and cyclists can get to the location via Cherry Creek Trail. Parking is free.
About Colorado Boulevard BRT
The Colorado Boulevard BRT project will explore options for improving travel along Colorado Boulevard with attractive and efficient BRT service. The BRT routes will enhance transportation options on state highways and improve connections to the region's passenger rail system.
About BRT
BRT is a high-capacity, efficient bus service that incorporates elements of light-rail. These include stations, all-door boarding, purchasing tickets before riding, priority at intersections, and in some locations dedicated bus lanes. This attractive, high frequency transit service is designed to be more reliable, convenient, and accessible than traditional bus service.
Public input is critical!
