You may have read the news that federal funding will help kick start Colorado’s Front Range Passenger Rail between Fort Collins and Pueblo, a project that will bring passenger rail service to many towns along the Front Range, including Broomfield.  You may also have seen the periodic references to the long-postponed extension of the RTD B line from Westminster to Broomfield, Boulder, and Longmont.  We know that the renewed interest in passenger rail service as an alternative to expanding road networks is a national trend with distinct motivations and challenges at the local level.
