I love everything about this proposal is relatively low-cost and will utilize technology in a way that will transform the relationship of the two communities and solve a real growth issue: nasty conjestion on an relatively new stretch of highway.

I completely agree. I'd love to see some major public transportation like this around Colorado. Just last weekend my girlfriend and I took a day-trip to Boulder from Fort Collins (through Longmont), and the congestion through Longmont main streets is outrageous on the weekends. It would be ideal to just drive to Longmont (about a 15-20 min drive from Fort Collins) and catch a tram such as this to the Boulder/Denver area. Once you are in the city of Boulder, most things are within decent walking distance. It would also be great for daily commuters as I know some who commute from Longmont to Boulder/Denver and visa versa.
