Key Takeaways

In current state, Colorado Station is not mobilizing the region In future state, Colorado Station can serve as a distinct place and gateway by:

  • Creating unique destination through activated public spaces and ground-floor retail
  • Reprioritizing safe alternative modes of transportation to and through the Wedge to

facilitate connectivity with surrounding neighborhoods

  • Creating an engaged, integrated community through placemaking and wayfinding
