  • RTD I-225 Rail Line Montview Alignment Change
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RTD Board Approves Moving Planned I-225 Rail Station from Montview to Fitzsimons Parkway CU Officials Commit to Shuttle Service from Fitzsimons Station to Anschutz Medical Campus DENVER, June 25, 2013—The Regional Transportation District (RTD) Board of Directors has approved a request from the University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz Medical Campus to relocate the planned Montview Station on the I-225 Rail Line to a new location at Fitzsimons Parkway. CU officials requested the station be moved due to concerns for adequate mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and vibration near sensitive research equipment at current and future medical buildings. This decision by the Board of Directors will allow the I-225 project team to identify environmental impacts and propose mitigation before moving forward with design and construction. “We will continue to collaborate with our partners to ensure that our project meets the needs of the greater community,” said RTD General Manager Phil Washington. “We will develop a solution that keeps the project moving forward while staying on budget.” During the 2007 - 2009 environmental and early design process, RTD and CU evaluated options for mitigating EMI and vibration from the train, but found that previous measures identified might not be sufficient for future technologies. Additional methods of mitigation were considered but found to be too costly. The project team aims to have a new alignment and station site determined, with design underway, by the end of the year. The I-225 Rail Line is a 10.5-mile light rail extension that will travel through the City of Aurora and make key connections to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the future VA Hospital.

  • Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Veterans Housing Project City of Aurora, Colorado
    April 29, 2019 Gabe Bergeron Studio Completiva 3275 14th Avenue, Suite 201 Denver, CO 80204 Re: Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Veterans Housing Project City of Aurora, Colorado Dear Mr. Bergeron: This study presents the results of a traffic analysis for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) Veterans Housing Project. The CCH Veterans Housing Project is proposed to be multifamily mid-rise attached housing development on the northeast corner of the East 17th Avenue and Peoria Street intersection, in the Fitzsimons area of the City of Aurora, Colorado. The project is anticipated to consist of permanent supportive housing for homeless and at-risk veterans. This traffic study provides an expected trip generation, trip distribution, and project traffic assignment for the full build out of the project. Additionally, a multimodal transportation analysis was conducted for the project location based on the attached site circulation plan. This multifamily mid-rise development project is proposed to include 60 dwelling units anticipated to be completed for the current phase as well as an additional separate building containing 60 dwelling units to be completed for a proposed future phase. For purposes of this study, analysis was performed for the project’s future full build-out of 120 total dwelling units. Figure 1 illustrates the vicinity of the CCH Veterans Housing Project with respect to the surrounding area in Aurora, Colorado. Regional access to CCH Veterans Housing Project will be provided by Interstate 70 (I-70), Interstate 225 (I-225), and Colfax Avenue (US-40). Primary access will be provided by Peoria Street. The existing project site is bounded by North Quari Way and the existing Veteran’s Home to the north, North Quari Court to the east, East 17th Avenue to the South, and an existing structure to the west.
