Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
According to the Vail Daily's Scott Miller:
[T]he report isn't a firm estimate of what kind of system would be used or where it would stop. Schroeder said the latest report is the next step needed to get Colorado designated a "High Speed Rail Corridor" in order to be eligible for federal funds.
What's next? [Eagle County engineer Greg] Schroeder said the next steps include developing a state rail plan and coordinating with freight railroads.
Sure, it sounds like a faraway fantasy, but at least we'll have something to fantasize about on our five-hour drive back from Breck on a Sunday evening.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
