Public Engagement

Mountain Rail Open House in the West Metro

As part of the Mountain Rail Project, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) invites community members to attend an open house regarding the site selection of a West Metro station.

The open house will provide community members and stakeholders a chance to learn about the project’s progress and share perspectives that will help the planning team evaluate and select a preferred West Metro Station location. Input from the public will support ongoing efforts to understand concerns and community considerations related to the potential station locations.

Through a series of guided activities, participants can share feedback on potential station locations, preferences, and key considerations to support evaluation and selection of a preferred West Metro Station location.

A survey will also be available at the event and online for those unable to attend in person. Project leaders will share updates on anticipated timelines and next steps, and CDOT will continue to offer both in-person and virtual opportunities for community engagement and feedback.
