Transfort

The City of Fort Collins is beginning to test the MAX Bus Rapid Transit service. From early February until the start of service in May 2014, MAX buses will be on the guideway, Mason St. in Downtown and McClelland Dr. at various times.

More news is coming out of Fort Collins regarding the upcoming MAX bus system, set to open this Spring.

The construction for the new MAX bus system is hard to miss; but we put up with it because it promises to alleviate traffic in Fort Collins, while also getting people where they need to go quickly. But if you're in a rush, will MAX be faster than just hopping in the car?

The new MAX Bus Rapid Transit System in Fort Collins is an idea that was proposed 14 years ago. We are finally seeing it come to life. Todd Harding had the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the construction. Here is what he learned:

Prospect Road has been closed west of Fort Collins since March 4th. Here's the good news: It's going to re-open ahead of schedule!

Fort Collins commuters, rejoice! The road closure that's driven residents insane for the past month is re-opening early!

It seems like Prospect Road has been closed for a month or so, but it has only been 1 1/2 weeks. We still have over a month to go for the 6-week project to be completed.

Mason Street in Old Town north of Mountain Ave will be closed for a few weeks so that city can work on the MAX Rapid Transit System station. There are a few different things residents need to know about the project.

The public is invited to a community workshop that will help create the vision for Midtown Fort Collins tonight (Wednesday, November 14), 5:30-8:00 p.m., in the Lincoln Center’s Columbine Room at 417 W. Magnolia St. A light dinner will be provided.

All this week MAX construction will remove trees north of Drake Road and east of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway tracks in Fort Collins. The trees being removed are part of a MAX construction  plan that includes transplanting or recycling and installation of replacement trees. ...

Harmony Road at Mason Street in Fort Collins will experience lane closures beginning today (Tuesday, October 9th) through the end of the month, while crews install a storm drainage pipeline along Mason Street. The closures on Harmony will be phased, with at least two open lanes serving east and westbound traffic.
