RTD has been unable to complete the Longmont train since voters approved it in 2004.

DENVER — A Colorado rail project approved by voters more than two decades ago may finally be completed.

It has been 21 years since voters approved a 0.4% FasTracks sales tax for the Regional Transport District (RTD). FasTracks promised to build light rail throughout the metro area (it did), a rail line to DIA (it did), rail lines in the metro area (somewhat) and a rail line to Boulder and Longmont (crickets).

At one point, RTD said it would be 2050 before the train was in service.

As of Wednesday, April 8, the rail line could be completed in 999 days. That is how many days until Jan. 1, 2029.

    Anyone who has lived or commuted by large scale infrastructure projects knows that there’s no chance it’ll be done by 2029.
