Denver's $4 Billion Transit System
19 August 2001 - 10:00am
Denver has proposed a $4.35-billion, 10-year plan to expand rail and bus lines. The plan is funded by a 0.4-cent sales tax increase.
"The Regional Transportation District wants to spend $4.35 billion on an accelerated 10-year plan that would build light rail, commuter rail and express bus lanes throughout the Denver metro area funded primarily by a sales-tax increase. To pay for the massive project, RTD wants to ask metro-area voters to approve a 0.4-cent sales tax hike in November 2002. Construction could begin in 2003 and all lines could be completed by 2013."

Its very unsuitability for an urban center justifies its current usage as a suburban or ex-urban pattern.
