Title: THE DENVER EXPERIENCE: STARTING SMALL
Accession Number: 00749878
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) successfully implemented a 5.3-mi (8.53-km) starter light-rail project solely with local dollars on time and under budget. The Central Corridor light-rail line opened on October 7, 1994. The $116 million project was designed and built through the heart of downtown Denver in 4 years. The Central Corridor alignment and operations and how they fit into the RTD system both today and in future planned expansion are described. The focus is on the strategy of using local funds for a starter project and the prospects for completing and implementing the Southwest Corridor light-rail extension (currently near the end of the preliminary engineering and draft environmental impact statement phase).
