Sen. Crowder's bill isn't about "find a solution to rail now." It's about "getting Amtrak to Pueblo and I guess get a committee to look at rail, like we've been doing since 2012. Report back in 2018. See if the findings were different than 2014."
The findings will be different than in 2014. A couple of slow-speed Amtrak trains per day is infinitely easier and more affordable than actual high-speed rail.

Not Front Range, but really don't feel like starting a "COLORADO | HIGH COUNTRY THREAD #82"

Silverthorne making history with downtown plans

“The opportunity to develop property that will define the identity and character of an entire mountain town for decades to come is rare, and that’s just the opportunity we have in Silverthorne today,” according to Silverthorne Mayor Bruce Butler.

Town officials and owners of the downtown Silverthorne land expect to spend 90 minutes to two hours today interviewing the teams from the St. Charles Town Co. and Milender White.

“The dollar volume of the redevelopment is pretty hard to say,” [Mark Leidal, assistant town manager for Silverthorne] said.

“It will depends on the program and the concepts they put out there before we know the actual total dollar amounts,” he said.

“But with a 3.25-acre site in the heart of downtown, it will be pretty significant.”

The redevelopment, he said, should create a “pedestrian-friendly, walkable downtown. We’d like to see a true mixed-use development with offices, retail and residential,” he said.

The residential component would include both for-sale and rental units.

He expects that no buildings would be more than three or four stories tall.

Oh man, this will be reeeeaaaallly nice




It's a new 5,000-acre master planned community which could mean 60,000 new peeps. With single-family detached houses starting at an affordable One Million Dollars, I would expect nothing less from Aurora. Cool that it will be snugly close to Hancock's aerotropolis and Panasonic's thriving Smart CityNOW next to RTD's Pena Station.

If approved, construction to start in the fall and now taking reservations.

WELCOME HOME

Speaking of Aurora

Simpson Property Group finished the 510-unit Sanctuary at Tallyn's Ranch apartment complex in an upscale area that feeds into the newer Cherry Creek Trails High School system. Simpson appears to be continuing their tradition of quality.

^ I finally found time to read Ken's piece. Pretty funny.

I think it was the explosion of Master Planned communities that led to all the silliness.

I wonder why you've never seen any of these names?
  • Dark Alley Gulch
  • Landslide Ridge
  • Flood-prone Meadows
  • Stinky Farms
  • Last Chance Ranch
  • Hazardous Crossing Trails

Hooray for Thornton

Amazon To Build New Facility In Colorado, Hire 1,500 Workers
June 12, 2017 By Jennifer Brice - CBS4
Quote:
The online retailer says they will begin construction on a facility in Thornton, near Interstate 25 and 144th Avenue. The fulfillment center will focus on small items, like books and electronics.
What say you Amazon?
Quote:
This system helps make deliveries fast, according to Amazon’s spokeswoman Ashley Robinson.

“That enables us to fill customer orders faster with more inventory selections, and that means we have to hire more people to keep up with demand,” Robinson said.

Loveland, CO is embarking on a massive densification and urbanization project south of downtown. Called "The Foundry," it will include a hotel, movie theatre, residential, retail, and office. This will revitalize a run down and underused 2.5 block stretch from 1st Street to the alley behind the Rialto Theater on 4th Street. Here is the city of Loveland's web site for the project: http://www.cityofloveland.org/depart...-s-new-horizon
Brinkman Partners is the developer and builder. OZ Architecture is the architect.
It looks like Little Man Ice Cream is going to be bringing their LoHi magic to Northern Colorado.....

Wow, yeah that's really transformative for a place like Loveland. Good for them!

Hopefully the cul-de-sac doesn't make it into whatever's ultimately built. It's hard to tell which of these plan alternatives is most current.

They've probably looked at Louisville, and the downtown redevelopment there that has brought along huge property value increases with it. That's pretty awesome.

Just FYI, take a look at housing values in the old town area of Louisville, smaller older homes are selling for crazy money there these days...likely a spillover of Boulder.

There isn't much new in Louisville that would be readily apparent from Google aerials - at least not since the building at Front and Spruce was put in back in 2005 (except one small-lot infill building I can spot). The big difference has mostly just been in the turnover and quality of retail on the old Main Street. It is a completely different place now. Very "hip." There is a big new development going in south of Griffith and north of South st, plus the new Alfalfas and housing that recently went in at "North Main," just north of South Boulder Road. My take on all of this is definitely that it is spillover from the Boulder real estate market.

Edit: Looking at EngiNerd's comment, I'm wondering if perhaps he is talking about the DELO development (a name I dug up from some googling just now), which is the development I mentioned east of the RR tracks and north of South St. If so, I'd say it was the rising property values that brought along that development, and not the other way around. The old part of Louisville has been on its way up for over a decade now, and it's not surprising that developers are now showing an interest getting in on what before had just been gentrification of the old houses and main street.
