Project Description:

The Boulder Transit Village is a proposed transit oriented development that will combine a multi-modal regional bus / bus rapid transit (BRT) transit station with housing and commercial uses at an 11-acre site at the northeast corner of Pearl and 30th streets in Boulder. The City of Boulder and RTD have completed the land purchase and own the 11-acre site.

The Transit Village Concept and Site plans will follow the directions laid out by the Transit Village Area Plan once it is adopted.

The Boulder Transit Village will be built in phases and will accomodate current and future local and regional buses, bus rapid transit, pedestrian and bicycle network connections, 200-300 or more affordable and market rate residential housing units, supportive commercial uses and possibly a park 'n ride. Future phases will include multi-modal connections to a commuter rail station located just north of the site. The project goal is to provide a fifty percent mix of affordable and market rate housing with a mix of ownership and rental product options.

The Boulder Transit Village is a partnership between RTD, the regional mass transit operator based in Denver, Colorado and the City of Boulder. The Boulder Transit Village is a top work priority for the City of Boulder and addresses all of Council's top four goals to provide affordable housing, transportation, environmental and economic sustainability.

Project Participants:

  • The City of Boulder Housing, Planning, Transportation departments
  • The Regional Transportation District (RTD)

Developments may also be provided by a public/private partnership in conjunction with the City of Boulder and RTD.

Current Funding:

Funds for site selection, concept planning and land purchase were provided by the City of Boulder and RTD. Housing and commercial project elements will likely be financed by a future private developer and private/public partnership. RTD and the city have secured a Federal $7.8 million grant to fund concept planning, site planning and design and construction of the first phase regional bus/BRT transit station. Funding for the future RTD commuter rail transit facility will be paid for by RTD FasTracks.
