RELEASE OF THE NORTHWEST RAIL LINE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Since 2007, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) has been studying the impacts of providing rail service from Denver to Longmont in the Northwest Rail Environmental Evaluation (EE) as part of the voter-approved RTD FasTracks Program. Northwest Rail Line (NWR) is a proposed 41-mile commuter rail line from Denver Union Station to Longmont passing through North Denver, Adams County, Westminster, Broomfield, Louisville and Boulder.
RTD is now releasing the NWR Final EE to the public. The release of the document concludes the environmental study and planning phase for this project. This action allows the project to move towards final design, construction, and operation as funding becomes available for the FasTracks Program.
As the project advances, RTD will continue to work with local, state and federal agencies, local jurisdictions, stakeholder groups and members of the general public along the Northwest Rail Line to address issues or concerns relating to this project.
