Denver Moves: Federal Blvd. Transit Study
Now to Feb. 1
This is an online open house. You can participate any time until Feb. 1.
Why it matters: Denver Moves: Federal is a high-level study of transit improvements on Federal Boulevard, the second-most-used bus route in the RTD system. We are excited that the City is proposing to add Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along the full corridor. However, north of 20th Avenue, the proposal does not include dedicated transit lanes, which we say falls considerably short of true BRT.

Why it matters: The City is considering providing a continuous, uninterrupted multi-modal roadway along 52nd Avenue between Brighton Boulevard and Vasquez/Colorado Boulevards. Denver is also studying ways to improve the narrow, low-clearance underpass beneath the freight rail line at Brighton/York Street immediately northeast of the Riverside Cemetery, and how to improve connections to the National Western Center RTD N Line station.
