RTD Opens Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station; Station Part of Mixed-Use Plan

Denver’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) and the city of Boulder recently marked the opening of RTD’s Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station—part of a 160-acre area that is being redeveloped into a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood with regional public transit connections.

“RTD is investing in Boulder and its residents and the opening of this new facility is a shining example of the good things that happen through regional partnerships and collaboration,” said Dave Genova, RTD interim general manager and chief executive officer, at a recent ceremony.

The 45,655-square-foot facility includes six underground bus bays, a ticket sales and information booth and 75 parking spaces in the garage reserved for RTD patrons. In addition, bike-and-ride passengers will have access to 27 bike racks that hold 54 bikes and pedestrians can access the underground facility via a breezeway.

The facility currently provides service on two bus routes. When it enters operation in January 2016, the Flatiron Flyer, RTD’s BRT service connecting Boulder and Denver, will use Boulder Junction as an end-of-line station.

The Boulder Junction area under development also features public spaces, a 150-room Hyatt Place hotel, an apartment complex with 71 affordable housing units and plans for a future restaurant.

“This transit center will bring state-of-the-art transportation service to east Boulder,” said RTD Board Chair Chuck Sisk. “With a Flatiron Flyer arriving every 15 minutes during peak travel times, Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station will be a cornerstone for Boulder commuters. This facility will be accessible and welcoming to all, regardless of transportation mode.”
