About the Plan

RTD and the City and County of Denver, in partnership with the Downtown Denver Partnership and Downtown Denver Business Improvement District sponsored the Civic Center Transit District Plan (CCTDP) to establish a long-term vision and identify projects that are near implementation for the future of the station area as a revitalized urban transit hub and new downtown anchor.

As a complement to the Civic Center Station Renovation Project, the CCTDP addresses mobility and safety challenges for major street corridors surrounding the station, the absence of economic development in the area, and the social activities and physical conditions that detract from the security and healthy urban environment.

The plan establishes a long-term vision for the new transit district that includes transit operations, multi-modal mobility and connectivity, public realm planning and economic development opportunities within the transit district. The effort also involved analysis of short, medium and long-term implementation strategies for a 20,000 square-foot developable parcel along the north side of Colfax Avenue between Broadway and Lincoln streets.

The Civic Center Transit District is a model of how multiple transit services can organize within a very active, yet constrained urban area while maintaining high-quality connectivity for bicycles, pedestrians and vehicles.
