Resident urges Highlands Ranch exclusion from Front Range Passenger Rail taxing district
Summary
Eric Eicher spoke during public comment opposing Highlands Ranch inclusion in the proposed Front Range Passenger Rail taxing district, saying it "would impose taxes with little benefit" and raising concerns about limited access to the proposed Sterling Ranch station.
During the public comment period resident Eric Eicher (2105 Ashwood Place) voiced opposition to Highlands Ranch’s inclusion in the proposed Front Range Passenger Rail taxing district. Eicher said the district "would impose taxes with little benefit to Highlands Ranch," cited limited access to the proposed Sterling Ranch station and said he and his wife opposed inclusion and requested Highlands Ranch be excluded.
The study session record does not show a board or staff response to Eicher’s comment; the board continued with scheduled staff presentations. The transcript indicates Highlands Ranch is not currently included in the Front Range Passenger Rail bill under staff review, which staff said they will continue to monitor.
