"The downtown landing of the bridge would feature staircases and long, looping ramps on either side." Sure, we could build a meandering, indirect way for people on foot to avoid Speer Blvd. Or we could implement the City's own vision for redesigning Speer as a safe, pedestrian-friendly main street.

After 30 years of service, RTD is investing in the future of its oldest rail infrastructure and is entering the next phase of its full-depth reconstruction of the Downtown Loop, including work on the area of Kalamath Crossing. Stay up to date at www.rtd-denver.com/railproject
