The RTD Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility (CRMF) Environmental Assessment (EA) team is writing to provide an update on its plans for the proposed CRMF and to encourage you to attend a public meeting on Jan. 22, 2009, 6 p.m., at the Stapleton Recreation Center (5090 Broadway).
Late last year, RTD began work minimizing the required footprint for the proposed facility to address recommendations from the public and a panel of independent transit experts that reviewed the current plans. Based on this minimized footprint and additional information, RTD reconsidered several sites previously dismissed from consideration for the CRMF. That analysis identified a second candidate site to evaluate for the new CRMF, in addition to the Platte site at 31st Street and Ringsby Court. A map of the two sites accompanies this letter.
The second candidate site, Fox North, is located at 48th Avenue and Fox Street, just north of I-70 and west of I-25. The site warrants further evaluation and input from the public because, among other reasons, locating the CRMF on this site eliminates the need to relocate the Platte Division Bus Maintenance Facility (BMF), saving approximately $100 million, and the site is zoned industrial with no adjacent
residential or commercial sites.
RTD will hold a public meeting on Jan. 22, 2009, to provide an update on the CRMF and BMF projects and to gather input on two potential options for the CRMF project,
including:
Option A
- Advance Platte as the preferred CRMF site;
- Relocate the BMF to one of three potential sites: Fox South (southwest corner of I-25 and I-70), Fox North (48th Avenue and Fox Street), or 51st East (northeast corner of E. 51st Avenue and Emerson Street); and
- Finalize the CRMF EA on the Platte site.
- Advance Fox North as preferred CRMF site; and
- Evaluate and document any environmental impacts of building the CRMF on the Fox North site in the revised EA.
- Attend a Meeting - Thursday, Jan. 22, 6 p.m., Stapleton Recreation Center (5090 Broadway)
