DENVER — The Front Range Passenger Rail District has scheduled the first in a series of town hall meetings to hear from residents as part of the ongoing planning for proposed service between Fort Collins and Pueblo, Colo.
The first meeting is Thursday, Feb. 26, in Colorado Springs, followed by meetings in Pueblo on March 8, Denver on March 19, and again in Colorado Springs on March 26.
Attendees will hear a brief overview of the proposed service and have the opportunity to ask questions to project officials and share feedback and local priorities. Residents, business owners, and local leaders are invited to take part.
The district describes the meetings as part of outreach “designed to provide clear, factual information about the project and gather community input as planning advances.” More meetings are planned in the months ahead.
Both sessions in Colorado Springs will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, 530 Communication Circle. The Pueblo meeting, on a Sunday, is set for 1-3 p.m. at Pueblo Union Depot, 132 W. B Street; the Denver session is from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton Street.

If coal (Wyoming to Texas) is as strong as it used to be, good luck getting a passenger train through. If coal diminishes, then this project has a chance.
