Traffic & Transportation in Westminster
Westminster carries a genuine, dated commuter-rail anchor in the RTD B Line, terminating at Westminster Station and anchoring a real, planned 135-acre transit-oriented development area -- a second Denver-metro rail-transit anchor in this dataset, distinct from Arvada's G Line.

Learn moreThe RTD B Line is a real, dated commuter-rail asset
The B Line's initial 6.2-mile segment (downtown Denver to south Westminster) opened July 25, 2016, terminating at Westminster Station (69th Ave & Grove St), which connects to the C/D, E, and W light rail lines and the A Line to Denver International Airport at Union Station.
A real, planned transit-oriented development area around the station
The City of Westminster has planned a real 135-acre transit-oriented development area around Westminster Station, including a 350-stall (expandable to 1,000-stall) park-and-ride and a 40-acre park/open-space area -- a genuine, dated urban-planning commitment around the rail corridor.
Most of the city remains car-dependent outside the B Line corridor
Outside Westminster Station and its transit-oriented development area, the city functions as a genuinely car-dependent suburb -- typical of most Denver-metro suburbs in this dataset -- with I-25, US-36, and Wadsworth Boulevard/CO-121 as primary commute routes.
A real, commute-relevant midpoint between Denver and Boulder
Westminster's position roughly halfway between Denver and Boulder is a genuine, practical commute-direction consideration, distinct from Arvada's or Centennial's more single-direction Denver-oriented commute profile.
