The final public meeting of the Colorado Springs Streetcar Feasibility Study will be 5:30-7 p.m. today (Wednesday) at the City Administration Building, 30 S. Nevada Ave.

Local residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on the idea of an electric streetcar system in downtown Colorado Springs and surrounding areas, including a route to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The study team wants feedback on proposed routes, funding and types of streetcar vehicles.

The Streetcar Feasibility Study, a private-sector effort, is evaluating the economic feasibility and cost of building a modern electric streetcar system here. The study also is gauging community interest.

The study is being conducted by Mountain Metropolitan Transit, the city’s bus service, and is funded by federal planning grants, Colorado College, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, the Downtown Development Authority, the Business Improvement District, the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority, the Old North End Neighborhood Association and Bircham’s.
