BOULDER — Boulder County commuters will have the chance to feel like a regular George Jetson if one company is allowed to build the world’s first on-demand rapid-transit maglev monorail along the Diagonal Highway.
SkyTran Colorado will host a public information session Thursday to review the plans and progress for the Colorado City Connector project, a privately funded 15-mile monorail that would connect Boulder and Longmont.
“I decided that if we’re going to do this anywhere, it’s got to be Colorado,” said SkyTran CEO R. Paul Williamson. He recently moved back to Colorado, where his family lives.
The proposal is the manifestation of 10 years of work that began with Williamson’s research at the University of Montana. The technology involves magnetic levitation.
