Advisory Services Report: Speer Blvd, Denver, CO

Zusammenfassung des Berichts: Speer Boulevard and Cherry Creek’s history begins before the origins of the city of Denver. Reimagining what is today a major transportation arterial within the city has the potential to impact many lives and businesses in and around downtown. Because of this, four key entities, the city of Denver, the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP), the Auraria Campus for Higher Education (AHEC) and University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) worked together to sponsor a ULI Advisory Services panel on this complex and critical topic.

The sponsor team asked ULI to convene an Advisory Services panel to provide strategic recommendations on reimagining a section of Speer Boulevard between downtown Denver and Auraria as an urban arterial that provides greater safety and accessibility for people using multiple forms of transportation, provide expanded opportunities for recreation and open space along the Cherry Creek trail, and better connect downtown Denver and the Auraria Campus.
