Create a high-speed railway connecting major urban areas of Colorado: Pueblo-Colorado Springs-Denver-Longmont-FtCollins.

Created by D.W. on November 15, 2012

There are a few areas in the western US where large centers of population density are in close proximity and are connected economically. One of these areas is the Front Range Urban Corridor of Colorado, whose population is 4 million. It includes the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Denver metro area, Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs metro area, and Pueblo.
Traffic between these cities is heavy, with few public transportation options. The total distance between Fort Collins and Pueblo is 175 miles.
A commuter rail would offer an alternative to driving, alleviate traffic, and reduce gas usage and traffic accidents.
This would make sporting events, arts, entertainment and the outdoors more accessible. This would create jobs in its construction and operation.
