AI Summary
Plans are moving forward to connect Denver and Boulder by train. The first phase, called "starter service," will have three daily train trips going up to 79 mph. This service is planned to start by January 2029. It will also stop in Westminster, Broomfield, Louisville, Longmont, Loveland, and Fort Collins. The cost for this starter service is $331 million. Many people at a recent meeting supported the plan, but some wished for faster and more frequent trains. This project aims to eventually offer more train service between cities from Fort Collins to Pueblo. This new train service is a step towards fulfilling a long-standing wish for a rail link between Denver and Boulder. Money that was collected over the last 20 years for a previous train plan may help fund this project. Officials say more money will be needed for future, expanded service. The trains will use existing tracks, but plans still need approval from transportation groups.
