I thought the Twin Cities had already done some BRT?


Awhile ago PLANSIT and I posted back-to-back posts of Denver Moves Frequent, High-Quality Denver Transit. Since it has a City of Denver focus there's only half-dozen routes to focus on and two: Colfax and Broadway are already a work-in-progress.

Denver News7 had a recent, decent overview of the proposed Colfax remake to a BRT corridor. Then there was this: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/new...-rapid-transit

Any guesses as to when the study after study will end?

Two separate but linked efforts:

1. Alternatives Analysis - Figure out what the transit/multimodal vision for Colfax is. The City is just about done with this as it recommended Center-Running as its Preliminary LPA. Public feedback was positive based on survey results shown last week to the Task Force. Next step is 30% Design, NEPA, and FTA Project Development.
   
   
2. Land-Use Planning - This is what the $2M is referring to in the above story. This money will be used for the East Central Area and East Area Neighborhood Plans already in progress. Denver received a $1.35M grant to prepare the corridor for the BRT's arrival by focusing on land-use planning (TOD opportunities), investment w/o displacement strategies, business retention, etc.
