Currently, we are raising the $15,000 for the the economic analysis. This would be done by the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business.

The Boulder Breeze, a 501C(3) non- profit, is dedicated to the creation of 4 mile(6.4 km) streetcar line from the Pearl Street District to the Twenty Ninth Street District, Boulder Transit Village, commuter rail station, and onward to the RTD commuter rail service. Runing via Pearl, Walnut, and Spruce streets on a fixed track, this line will be a unique transportation and economic benefit to Boulder.

Starting when Crossroads opened in 1963, competition existed between businesses there and those downtown. Each side claimed that one's gain in customers was the other's loss, and this continued until the decline of Crossroads. Now with its rebirth as Twenty-Ninth Street, a central aspect of our mission is to celebrate the two districts, while unifying them, with trolley service supported by the entire community.

We wish to expand Boulder's existing repution as a unique community and destination with this streetcar line. The streetcar revival in the United States is over a decade old, and streetcars are a proven method to strengthen a community's economy.

By uniting Pearl and Twenty-Ninth Street, those whose destination would be but one of those, will now have a unique means and reason to visit both. This is vital to downtown Boulder, as Twenty-Ninth street and it free parking are minutes from Foothills Parkway.

Among the groups who have endorsed the Boulder Breeze Concept is the Indian Peaks Group of the Sierra Club. As the Breeze will be 100% windpower and greatly expand Boulder's tax base – with no new annexations – Indian Peaks agrees that the Breeze offers Boulder a stronger, greener, future.
