Fastracks cost projections continue to increase.
Back in 2004 when voters approved FasTracks, they were told the Northwest rail line would cost $565 million. In just four years that figure ballooned to an alarming $894 million because of construction add-ons, materials inflation and RTD’s decision to discard the rose-colored glasses it had conveniently donned for the ’04 election.
Now $894 million looks like the good old days. The latest breathtaking estimate: $1.714 billion.
Just say NO.
Hey… the boondoggle could be worse.
