The Regional Transportation District is hosting eight public meetings in the next two weeks to present a proposed service plan for the A and R rail lines, two of five new transit corridors the agency will open in 2016.
The A Line to DIA and the R Line, which will traverse Aurora and Denver along stretches of Interstate 225, will debut in 2016.
The A Line should open next spring and the R Line is slated to open next winter. The two lines will intersect at Peoria Street in Aurora, providing passengers with a connection to the airport and access to several major hospital, research centers and other landmark facilities in the area.
Eight public meetings are scheduled to take place between Monday and Oct. 1. RTD is encouraging riders, the general public and others to attend:
