Hi Pam-
Thanks for your thoughts on the 144th station location. As you know, we have received feedback on all three of the current options, and the feedback certainly varies on which option the residents prefer. RTD has not yet made a decision on the location but all of the feedback we have received will be part of the decision-making process, along with feedback from the City of Thornton and other stakeholders.

Sorry it took longer than we wanted. They are through the review process and are being posted this weekend. We did not have many materials -- just drawings of the three options, which we will link to on the site. But we do have a meeting summary. We will post to the Web site, but in the meantime, I've copied most of the text below.

While I certainly understand your concerns about the 144th Avenue station (believe me, I do), I'd respectfully ask you to consider the safety of the hundreds of Rocky Top students. Depending where they live, they are already going to have to navigate a much busier 144th Avenue and York Street, or actually have to cross the tracks themselves, both options fraught with danger. I'd like to not introduce a train station to that equation, with its hundreds of hurried, distracted, cell-phone talking commuters in cars and buses. Further, a train station creates a huge opportunity for people of unknown intent and origin, who aren't members of our community, to get dropped off literally at the steps of the school, creating another huge potential risk.
The east option is the furthest from the school, and in my opinion mitigates danger to children more than the other two options. The "split" option puts the entry from 144th DIRECTLY behind the Detroit St. houses, the parking lot DIRECTLY behind your house, AND puts kids in danger on the west side too, so it's a triple loser.
Of course, another option is no station, but the only way to get behind that is to vote No in November, when RTD will likely ask voters to approve doubling the sales tax to cover cost overruns on this thing.

Can you post the presentation materials and any other information for the April 9th meeting you had regarding the 144th Avenue station?
Thanks.

The change to the BNSF Railway alignment was roughly about $89 million.

About how much more expensive (ballpark estimate) is the North Metro Corridor because UP wouldn't sell the land around 40th/40th and let RTD use the ROW going north (than RTD's initial estimates)? How much did this change add to the Fastracks cost separate from the effects of materials prices and other changes from the original plan. Just curious.

The new stimulus money will benefit RTD as a whole. With passage of the $787 billion economic stimulus package (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), the State of Colorado should receive approximately $538.6 million for infrastructure. From that, RTD is expecting $72 million, half now and the remainder within one year. Our staff is currently prioritizing
