Sustainable Communities Initiative

Help shape the future of the Gold Corridor!

What would you like to see in the Gold Corridor? Join us for a public forum and let your voice be heard! Now is the time to provide your thoughts on what you would like to see the corridor become. The Gold Corridor includes station areas and neighborhoods along the RTD Gold Rail Line, an 11.2-mile electric commuter rail transit corridor that connects Denver Union Station to Wheat Ridge, passing through northwest Denver, Adams County, and Arvada. With opening anticipated in 2016, planning and construction are already in full swing! Stations include:

Union Station 41st & Fox

Pecos Federal

Sheridan Olde Town

Arvada Ridge Ward Road

Over the past decade plans have been developed at the local level for individual stops along the line. The Sustainable Communities Initiative (SCI) looks at the entire corridor to create a unifying vision and goals, identify challenges and opportunities and develop transit-oriented development (TOD) implementation strategies. That's where you come in we want your feedback on how to make the Gold Corridor successful!

WHO: Anyone who lives, works or plays in the Gold Corridor - residents, community and business leaders,
elected officials

WHAT: A community open house where you can learn more about what is going on in the Gold Corridor and
provide feedback in a fun, interactive and family-friendly setting. Light refreshments will be served and Spanish translation services will be available.

We make life better!

The Denver Regional Council of Governments and its partners were awarded $4.5 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help get the greatest benefit from the investment already being made in transit throughout the region. This grant, along with additional investments from all the partners, is known as the Sustainable Communities Initiative, or SCI. SCI is helping make smart choices around transit so it works for people of all ages, incomes and abilities and preserves quality of life in the Denver region.
