Evidence Based Entrepreneurship – De Constructing the US 36 Corridor
There are a few cities on the list that have a great ratio of Accredited Investors to new businesses in the past 12 months, and a number of factors to these numbers. This is the first in a two-part post that will give readers an understanding of the space between Denver and Boulder and help layout who is in charge of what and a general lay of the land.

I found this little video about FasTracks on the RTD website and it sure seems like a good idea for shuffling people to and from work, entertainment, and other various travel needs. There is a green element as well since we all know it is more eco-friendly to all pile into one vehicle than it is to drive separately like the fellows in Swingers.
All I am saying is that public transportation is in theory a good thing and many times in practice as well. The New York subway system is a beloved public transportation icon that everyone should experience at some point of their life. The Washington DC subway system is also pretty cool and the two experiences are night and day. Baltimore put in a Lightrail and some say it put elements of the city into the county creating bad juju.
We are in Colorado, a kinder gentler place than the east coast and public transportation is pretty cool out here. It has taken some time to catch up to other cities and in 2017 it looks like we should be where they were some time ago. Progress is progress though and I think the new guy in charge of the state is in it for the people and will hopefully keep Colorado the envy of the nation. That might be a little extreme but I think if you live here for a while, you know what I mean. If you have only lived in Colorado I urge you to try somewhere else to gain the appreciation that us transplants have for the state.
A lot of Maps for A lot of Cities:
Broomfield – Getting Some Park and Rides and Bus Terminals
Lafayette – Too Far East from the Main Routes
Louisville – US 36 and MaCaslin will Get a Station
Bigger City and Smaller Town not Originally Included
Westminster – Westminster Center and Church Ranch Stations
Superior (really, that’s like calling your town “Better than You”) – Table Mesa Station
Stay Tuned…
There is more to come on these cities, I thought you might want to watch the videos and see the pictures first. You can draw whatever conclusions you’d like about starting businesses in this area and hopefully I have given you some research tools. It will be interesting to see how the RTD affects Economic Development in these areas. Boulder has always been a hot spot for technology in Colorado and the surrounding cities seem to be doing their part to help the state grow. The next post will include more in-depth information about these areas.

My 53 Second Profile. I figure if I am making thrse for others I should make on for myself. Take some photos, add some music, and mix in the secret sauce and you have this:
