Residents who have not yet had a chance to provide input on the Cheyenne Metropolitan Planning Organization’s passenger rail location study can do so through an online survey open until Friday, Oct. 18.
The survey follows an open house for the project that was held on Oct 8. Participants are asked their preference among six potential passenger rail station locations and their reasoning for their selection.
Input from both the open house and the online survey will be incorporated into the final planning document.
A passenger rail station could serve proposed Front Range Passenger Rail from Cheyenne to Pueblo, Colorado, as well as long distance passenger rail lines being studied by the Federal Railroad Administration.
Quandel Consultants, the firm assisting the MPO with the study, have identified six potential station locations: the Union Pacific Depot in Downtown Cheyenne, the Reed Avenue Corridor, an area near Old Happy Jack Road, the BNSF rail yard northwest of Downtown, a site next to F.E. Warren AFB, and along Terry Ranch Road.
The survey and more information about the project is available at https://www.plancheyenne.org/project/cheyenne-passenger-rail-station-site-selection-study/.
