The station area planning process for the 38th and Inca station is about to resume. The process has been on hold for several months while RTD examined the station location as part of the Gold Line Environmental Impact Statement process. Issues related to the railroad right-of-way, historic structures, property impacts, and traffic impacts had to be evaluated and addressed in the EIS.
All those issues have now been resolved, and RTD is moving forward with a recommended station location at approximately 41st and Fox streets. Over the next several months, the City and County of Denver will be working with the community to develop a land use and mobility plan for the area surrounding this station.
It all begins next Tuesday, February 3, in the North High School cafeteria from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The planning process is expected to continue through the spring and summer of 2009, as the City works closely with residents and businesses in the community to develop a vision, recommend strategies to implement the vision, and analyze future possibilities.
