Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyisendaweni noma umvakashi, uhlelo lwe-RTD lwe-lightrail yindlela elula yokuzulazula ezungeze i-Denver kanye namadlelo ayo azungezile, ukusiza ukuhlukumeza ukupaka kanye nezinhlekelele zomgwaqo lo mgwaqo okhula ngokushesha.
Umzila omusha, obizwa ngokuthi yi-B Line, uzokukhipha phakathi kwedolobha laseDenver's Union Station naseWestminster. Amaqiniso ambalwa okusheshayo: Ukugibela ukugijima okusheshayo, ukuhamba ngamaminithi angu-11 futhi isitimela sigijima ngehora, kulindeleke ngesikhathi samahora okuphakama uma kugijima ngehora lesehora.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba izivakashi zigibele, zikwazi lokhu: Akukho okuningi okukulindele endaweni yesehlakalo sase-Westminster - kodwa nokho kunjalo. Kodwa, uma uzimisele ukuhamba eduze kwamanye amazwe, uzothola ezinye zemibukiso yobuciko obuhlukile, i-zoo yezinambuzane kanye nezinye izinto ezikhangayo zomndeni, njengeklasi legalofu elincane kanye ne-go-kart ithrekhi.
Abathuthukisi banezinhlelo ezinhle zezindawo esikhathini esizayo, noma kunjalo. Ngesikhathi sokugubha ukuvulwa kukaJulayi ka-2016, abahleli bomuzi nabomphakathi babonise izinhlelo zekusasa, okuhlanganisa nepaki yama-acre angu-40 eduze ne-Little Dry Creek. Amalungiselelo afaka i-amphitheater yamakhonsathi kanye nebala lokudlala lezemvelo ezinganeni ezingaphansi kwemigoqo yensimbi yensimbi, okuningi mayelana nokukhuphuka phakathi kwezinhlaka zemithi.
Abahleli balinganisa indawo ehlanganisayo yomhlangano, mhlawumbe ngamaloli okudla, i-yoga yelanga, amakhonsathi nemikhosi. I-pier yokudoba, amapikiniki wepikinikini kanye nezitidi nazo zikhona ezinhlelweni.
Isigaba sokuqala sepaki sihlelelwe ukuqala ngo-2017.

Futhi, ubuciko bomphakathi buzoboniswa endaweni.
Nansi konke okudingayo ukwazi nge-B-line ye-B.
I-B-line ineza imitha engama-6 emgwaqeni wesitimela omusha wezokuhamba komgwaqo futhi yingxenye yokuqala kumzila wesitimela ohamba ngamakhilomitha angu-41, ohlongozwa emgwaqeni, uzoxhuma iBroomfield, eLouisville, eBoulder naseLongmont.
