"Voters hiked their taxes in exchange for more rapid transit - to the airport, Boulder, Golden, Thornton and more - and ushered in a new era of metro cooperation in a decisive vote for FasTracks...

When completed in 2017, FasTracks will reshape how people get around Denver as well as channel land development into a tighter and less sprawling pattern. It promises to speed commute times and offer an alternative to bumper-to-bumper traffic - though critics believe the impact on congestion will be minimal."
