With projects in the Colfax-Speer-Federal triangle, the city has a chance to coordinate transportation and land uses.
Denver has myriad plans that envision a future where our city has complete, connected transit; sidewalk and bike networks; and development patterns that make it easy and practical for people to choose options other than driving to daily destinations. Reducing our dependence on driving, in turn, will make our city more safe, healthy, inclusive, affordable, sustainable and livable. A key theme throughout these plans is the importance of coordinating transportation and land uses.
Lucky for us, that magic moment has arrived for a large area right in the heart of Denver. Redevelopment being planned or already underway in and around the triangle created by the intersections of Federal Boulevard, Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard — 237 acres of land in aggregate, nearly the size of the Central Business District — will increase density dramatically.
For example, the City of Denver's recently released strategic transportation plan, Denver Moves Everyone, includes BRT on Federal, Colfax and Speer in thethat can be completed by 2030 with anticipated funding. However, the proposal does not actually connect these BRT lines to each other in this time frame.
