In 2010, I transcribed interviews from individuals involved with the Platte Valley Trolley Restoration, and their memories of the trolley that ran from Denver to Golden from the late 1800s until 1950. In partnership with KGNU Community Radio and the Jefferson County Public Library, this piece is about the trolley’s connection to Denver’s West Corridor Light Rail project, a 12.1 mile light rail transit corridor that follows much of the historic trolley’s path, as it runs from Denver through Lakewood into Golden. Much of the story focuses on how the new line will affect the suburban, rural neighborhoods it will run through in Lakewood, where many residents have the line going through what was once their backyard. The West Corridor Rail Line is set to open in May of 2013.
