The Northwest line is already under construction to Arvada, correct? I believe they are working westward right now.
As for the line up to Boulder, blame the expense of building a completely separate right-of-way along the BNSF Brush Subdivision, a very busy funnel for coal trains :-/

They weren't trying to build separate right-of-way - they were trying to lease the existing BNSF tracks: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_20782125/rtd-stunned-by-bnsfs-charge-use-northwest-rail http://www.denverpost.com/ci_20782125/rtd-stunned-by-bnsfs-c... You're right that the busy freight corridor is a lot of the problem, though.
- blackaspen 12y agoThere is a separate line to Arvada, I believe it's the Gold line. That's still on track.
