Yeah....Denver had its issues in the past re: congestion and air quality, but they seem to 1) really 'get it' now, in terms of the need for public transit infrastructure and 2) Colorado political leadership is consistently astounding in their ability to get things done. re: #2, you COans might disagree, but having followed politics in places like Illinois, California, Michigan, etc you guys are really lucky in your political leadership.
What makes it so much better is the ambitious size of the built out network, especially relative to the size of Denver, which isn't that large of a city; the 17th largest Metro Area will have perhaps the 8th largest rail transit network in the country
