Regional Transportation District <br />safely connecting <br />your city <br />3. Improvements to the vertical circulation at the Westminster Park-n-Ride. RTD is currently <br />proceeding through the site development process for the installation of an elevator, which <br />will be located on the east -bound side of the Westminster park-n-Ride. Construction is <br />expected to begin in the third quarter of 2018. <br />4. Expansion of the Broomfield Park-n-Ride to the north (east) side of US 36. RTD will <br />continue to monitor usage of the existing Broomfield Park-n-Ride on the south (west) side <br />of US 36 and determine when it would be appropriate to respond to additional demand. <br />Current usage for the existing Broomfield Park-n-Ride in the period from January 2017 to <br />January 2018 was at 63 percent of capacity. <br />Consensus Item: Conduct advanced planning/environmental/design work for <br />proposed new arterial BRT corridors on SH 119 from Longmont to Boulder <br />and US 287 from Longmont to Denver Union Station, <br />Progress: RTD has undertaken the following activities for each corridor: <br />a. SH 119: RTD began the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review and <br />preliminary engineering (PE) for the SH 119 corridor in the fall of 2017. Funding <br />for the NEPA and PE is from a $1 million DRCOG Transportation Improvement <br />Program (TIP) grant and from an additional $2.5 million in RTD funds for the local <br />match to the DRCOG TIP grant. The NEPA and PE process is anticipated to be <br />completed in 2019. With the completion of this process, the corridor will be ready <br />for final design and RTD will be in a position to pursue grant opportunities for <br />construction. Through the current six -year Strategic Budget Plan (SBP), RTD has <br />allocated $30 million in 2023 for construction. These construction funds will also <br />provide a strong local match for potential grant or other funds. Additionally, RTD <br />has been in regular discussions with CDOT regarding potential partnership <br />opportunities for joint mobility improvements, such as managed lanes, in the <br />corridor. <br />b. US 287: In April 2014, RTD applied for a Transportation Investment Generating <br />Economic Recovery (TIGER) Planning Grant. The grant application included both <br />SH 119 and US 287. While this grant was not approved, a coalition of stakeholders <br />and RTD has conducted conceptual -level discussions to determine how additional <br />planning work could advance forward <br />Consensus Item: Work with CDOT to evaluate bus -on -shoulder and other near - <br />term improvements to improve the I-25 reverse commute between Denver <br />Union Station and Pecos Street, <br />Progress: CDOT, with the participation of RTD, completed a Bus -on -Shoulder (BOS) <br />feasibility study in December 2017. The study found that a combination of factors, <br />including the number of multi -lane on -ramps and off -ramps, limits the feasibility of BOS <br />on I-25. The study did not recommend the implementation of BOS at this time. However, <br />the study did note that the feasibility could change over time as bus service in the corridor <br />increases, and, correspondingly, as traffic congestion worsens. <br />1660 slake Street Denver Colorado 80202 303.299.6000 39 Regional Transportation District rtd-denver.com <br />
