The meeting will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Fraser Valley Elementary School at 125 Eastom Avenue in Fraser with a live virtual option available as well, the release states. The livestream will be available at ColoradoMountainRail.org and a recording will be posted one week after the open house.
Project leaders and CDOT representatives at the open house will provide an overview of recent developments, anticipated timelines for service commencement and opportunities for public involvement as the project moves forward into its implementation phases.
