  • May 2019 Proposed Service Changes
    May 2019 Proposed Service Changes BUS Route 0 – South Broadway Running time analysis resulting in schedule adjustments. Route 1 – 1st Avenue Move east terminal from Birch/Virginia to Virginia/Cherry, immediately behind King Soopers at Leetsdale/Cherry for operator restroom and customer convenience. Route 15 – East Colfax This proposal is an effort to relieve passenger overloads east of Monaco to VA Hospital by adding selected trips between 9:00am and 1:00pm. Move short turn recovery location from Oneida/Colfax to Leyden/Colfax, for operator restroom access. Close to Walgreens, McDonalds, 7-11. Add weekday bus for recovery and on-time performance. 16/16L – West Colfax Running time analyses on weekend services. Route 33 – Platte Valley Due to low ridership performance, it proposed that this route service be discontinued. Current ridership performance stands at 10.3 passenger per hour, which falls below the Urban Local ridership standard. This proposal would impact approximately 55 weekday passengers. Alternative service to the Route 33 can be found in using combinations of Central and West Light Rail corridors, Routes 4, 9, 30 and 30Limited. Route 36L – Fort Logan Limited Running time analysis, for operator recovery and on-time performance. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 44 – 44th Avenue Reroute eastbound buses via Larimer Street instead of Lawrence, between Broadway and Downing. This change consolidates service onto the historic transit corridor, instead of being split between two streets. Bus stop improvement along northbound Larimer are currently underway in support of this reroute. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 51 – Sheridan Boulevard This proposal would, formalize the current 4-block route detour in Englewood, which was put into effect due to the City having converted a part of Elati Street into a one-way operation.

  • Southeast Rail Extension Denver, Colorado New Starts Engineering (Rating Assigned April 2015)
    Southeast Rail Extension Denver, Colorado New Starts Engineering (Rating Assigned April 2015) Summary Description Proposed Project: Light Rail Transit 2.3 Miles, 3 Stations Total Capital Cost ($YOE): $224.29 Million Section 5309 New Starts Share ($YOE): $92.00 Million (41.0%) Annual Operating Cost (opening year 2019): $3.45 Million 5,000 Daily Linked Trips Current Year Ridership Forecast (2014): 1,503,600 Annual Linked Trips 11,500 Daily Linked Trips Horizon Year Ridership Forecast (2035): 3,438,900 Annual Linked Trips Overall Project Rating: Medium-High Project Justification Rating: Medium Local Financial Commitment Rating: Medium-High Project Description: The Southeast Rail Extension project is a double-track, light rail transit (LRT) extension of the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) Southeast LRT line. The project, which will begin at Lincoln Station and end at RidgeGate Station, is located in Douglas County, south of the Denver metropolitan area, and is included in RTD’s ongoing FasTracks long range transportation program. Eight new light rail vehicles would be procured as part of the project. Service would be provided every six minutes during peak periods, and every 7.5 minutes during off-peak periods in the opening year, and, every five minutes during peak periods and every six minutes during off-peak periods in the horizon year. Project Purpose: Development combined with a limited transportation network surrounding the corridor is causing congestion along I-25, which is the only major thoroughfare in the Southeast corridor connecting Douglas County with the Denver metropolitan area. The project will provide a more reliable alternative to automobile travel in the corridor, where connections can be made to the Southeast E, F and Z LRT lines in RTD’s FasTracks system, giving greater access from Douglas County to the Denver metropolitan area.
