Globeville Neighborhood Study – Are the Vision & Principles Valid?

13

Washington Street Study

VISION: The area is transformed into a mixed-use riverfront destination area that capitalizes on its adjacency to the South Platte River, a revitalized Washington Street, reinvented greenspace, and direct connections across the river to the National Western Center. GUIDING PRICIPLES: Make Washington Street an attractive corridor that creates a positive sense of place, attracts private reinvestment, and better accommodates all transportation modes.
