I have it connecting at I-25 and Broadway.

RTD doesn't care what Denver chooses to do on it's own. They'd be happy to cooperate although funding help from them is currently not available.

Nashville estimates almost a $billion for 1.8 miles of subway. I believe that between DUS and the Civic Center would be about 1 mile so closer to say $600 million in costs.
Can you, or someone who's also discussed the DUS to CC tunnel, help me understand why that 1 mile segment would be our choice for underground construction in Denver rather than, say, a DUS and Cherry Creek connection via cut and cover on Speer?
