The Downtown Denver Residents Organization (DDRO) and Union Station Advocates (USA) are hosting an informational event on Thursday, May 15, at the Oxford Hotel (17th+Wazee) from 4 to 5:30 p.m.). The meeting will cover a range of topics, including an up-to-the minute review of where the project stands. Quoting from USA’s website:
The project is quickly moving from the negotiation phase to the solid planning phase, and much is happening, including the selection of the landscape architecture firm that will be working hand-in-hand with the lead designer to design the public spaces. We want to make you aware of the future schedule and how you can actively participate in this important phase.
We will spend the last few minutes engaging with our members on concepts for potentially “branding” the public spaces at Denver Union Station. Many other nationally recognized places have successfully incorporated these messages with their identity, such as Pioneer Courthouse Square as Portland’s “Living Room.” When the selected designers begin conceptual planning for these important future spaces, it will be of benefit to them to have ideas such as these from the community.
In addition, the meeting will provide information about the Union Station video project, and it will wrap up the planning-studio exercise hosted by UC Denver School of Architecture students back in March. It will wrap up with a happy hour; always leave ‘em laughing, right?
If you plan to attend, please RSVP in advance to godbey@streetcarstables.com.
