Transit prospects drive urban living

FORT COLLINS - The Mason Street Corridor is poised to bring not just a transit line to Fort Collins, but a new lifestyle. With new housing, retail and office developments planned, many see a new future for the growing downtown area.

“I think the Mason Corridor is a wonderful opportunity to really enhance downtown and continue the growth that we’ve been working on for years,” said J.J. Hannah, a commercial, residential and investment specialist with Keller Williams in downtown Fort Collins.

The Mason Corridor is a five-mile north-south byway extending from Cherry Street on the north to Harmony Road on the south. It runs alongside the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, just west of College Avenue.

The basis of the Corridor is a transportation line connecting downtown with Colorado State University, Foothills Mall and retail on South College Avenue. Aside from paths for bikers and pedestrians, which are already in place, a bus rapid transit system is set to start running in 2011.

While transit may have been the impetus, development is the action of today.
