Colorado Connector

CoCo Connections: Loveland

Loveland is more than a stop on the Colorado Connector; it’s a destination shaped by art, history, and community. Located along Railroad Avenue near the site of the city’s original 1900s depot, the station restores intercity service to a rail-rooted city founded in 1877. Known as the “Sweetheart City,” Loveland celebrates connection year-round, from its iconic Valentine Re-Mailing Program to festivals and local events.

Just two blocks from the National Downtown Historic District, the station offers easy access to the Rialto Theatre, galleries, and dining. Ongoing investments like the 4th Street Heart Improvement Plan are enhancing walkability and public spaces in this designated Colorado Creative District. Loveland also boasts a nationally recognized arts scene, with hundreds of public art pieces, multiple sculpture parks, and one of the country’s largest communities of bronze sculptors.

CoCo Connections: Louisville

Step off of CoCo and into one of the Front Range’s most charming downtowns. Set along the historic rail corridor that once carried coal from the Northern Coalfield, the station opens into a walkable Main Street filled with local restaurants, shops, and small-town character.

Just beyond the platform, enjoy the energy of Steinbaugh Pavilion, home to the weekly Street Faire, Louisville Farmers Market, and WinterSkate. The station will also connect seamlessly to Downtown East Louisville, RTD bus service, and regional trails, including the Coal Creek Trail.

With years of city planning and investment already underway, Louisville is creating a vibrant, connected station district that makes it easy to arrive, explore, and stay awhile.

CoCo Connections: Longmont

Few locations on the Colorado Connector carry the momentum that Longmont’s 1st and Main district does right now. The proposed station anchors a long-planned civic transformation, bringing a future downtown Front Range Community College campus and a regional transit hub together on six central acres.

Set where historic Main Street meets a purpose-built district for transit, education, and daily life, the site reflects Longmont’s intentional growth. The FRCC campus will unite classrooms, labs, employers, and community services, while the rail line connects students and riders across the entire Front Range.

Access to the station builds on an expanding multimodal network. Coffman Street’s bus service, bike lanes, and future BRT link directly to the St. Vrain Greenway and a broader regional trail system, reinforcing Longmont’s vision for a connected, active, and transit-oriented downtown.

Before a single passenger steps on board, we are meeting with Coloradans in their communities to hear exactly what they want and need!
