FasTracks Through Thornton
The North Metro Corridor is a proposed 18-mile rail transit corridor between Denver Union Station and 162nd Avenue. On the way, it passes through Thornton. The project is now in the Environmental Impact Statement phase.
RTD has a large informational Web site dedicated to all its different FasTrack corridors, including the North Metro Corridor. On its site it has meeting info, maps, an events calendar, and more.
The purpose of our own Thornton FasTracks Web site is to provide supplementary information specifically targeted toward our Thornton citizens.
