Article Summary

State and regional transportation planners endorsed a $364.3 million project to extend RTD light rail service along I-225 and widen the freeway to eight lanes from I-25 to I-70. The plan envisions RTD light rail service in the median of I-225 with a major station at the developing Aurora City Center on Alameda Avenue. Other stations would be located at Parker Road, Iliff Avenue, 4th Avenue, at the former Fitzsimons Army hospital and on Smith Road at Peoria Street, where light rail would connect with commuter rail service to downtown Denver and Denver International Airport. No time schedule was announced for construction, which depends on finding adequate funding.
