The largest component of FasTracks, the Eagle public-private partnership (P3) project, united three corridors and more than doubled the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) existing transit system. The project stretches 36 miles from Wheat Ridge in Denver’s west suburbs to Denver International Airport on the city’s eastern side. In June 2010, RTD selected the Denver Transit Partners (DTP) team to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Eagle P3 project. This includes the University of Colorado A Line from Union Station in downtown Denver to Denver International Airport, the electrified portion of the Northwest Rail Line (B Line) to Westminster, the Gold Line (G Line) to Wheat Ridge and Arvada, and a commuter rail maintenance facility.
Our primary role on the DTP team included complete corridor management and design for the trackway, roadway and structural elements for portions of the University of Colorado A Line and design for trackway, roadway, drainage and structural elements of the B Line to Westminster. This also included maintenance-of-traffic plans for grade crossings, overhead structures and underpasses in these jurisdictions. With a significant number of stakeholders and multiple projects in progress, effective coordination and communication was critical to manage interfaces with outside projects, internal project components and operational requirements.
The University of Colorado A Line is particularly important to Denver residents and visitors as it extends the existing rail line to Denver International Airport—located 25 miles outside of downtown Denver—providing cost-effective and reliable transit to the airport.
Prior to the start of this project, we worked closely with RTD to conduct an alternatives analysis and prepare the Environmental Impact Statement and preliminary engineering for the I-70 East Transit Corridor. The study, which included extensive public outreach, documented the transportation and environmental impacts associated with transit improvements in the area. A wide range of possible alignments, technologies and station locations were examined to support the development of the FasTracks program.
