LOGISTICS– at this moment, Burnham Yard is a blank slate. The underground lines and station could be built without disrupting existing service or other construction. 

VISION- By far, the Broncos have the most to gain financially from seamless access between La Alma – Lincoln Park and Burnham Yard. Once complete, future revenue from the development in the Yard could reach $1 billion per year, according to some estimates. Dropping the Rail underground is the most far-sighted and sensible way of ensuring that people travelling in and out of the new development—tourists, fans, and new residents alike—will enjoy the world class experience the team says they are trying to create. 

PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY – Arguably more important than increasing profitability, dropping the rail will also vastly decrease the danger of injuries or fatalities, and at the same time, improve the overall quality of life for the neighborhood.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY – Drop The Rail proponents have been cautioned by the team’s leadership to “not to spend other people’s money”, yet the plans the Broncos are proposing—strongly in opposition to the community’s wishes—will be funded by taxpayers. This is not “the team paying for it,” as we have been promised.

Please join us in encouraging the Broncos to do the right thing and drop the light rail lines and station underground in Burnham Yard.
