You'd have to look up the last couple of years in the Daily Camera. Basically RTD invested in buses for Boulder along the rebuilt US 36 (not even attempting to build a rail line); they announced there would not be enough money to complete a rail line to Longmont until 2044, even if using a direct South-North rail line that already exists and doesn't go near Boulder; and finally they confirmed failure/refusal to negotiate and pay to keep their option to run on the BNSF line to Boulder (BNSF upped the price beyond RTD's reach since then) -- so it is not happening for at least another 30-40 years I would guess. When we moved to Boulder in early 2009 we were told the line was in progress and would be done by now...
