RTD Board Agrees To Move I-225 Rail Line Station

DENVER (AP) — Transportation officials have agreed to relocate a planned light rail station along Interstate 225, so that vibrations and electromagnetic interference won't affect sensitive research equipment at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

The Regional Transportation District said Tuesday that its board of directors had approved the university's request to move the planned Montview Station to a new location at Fitzsimons Parkway.

The 10.5-mile I-225 rail line will travel through Aurora, with connections to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the future Veterans Affairs hospital.
