Anon 10:20 is right, big pedestrian improvements on the way for Colfax and Market.

You know, I wouldnt care about living next to the detention center. Besides, there's so much cool and new stuff in the GT that it really wouldnt matter.

I have also heard 14th Street will get more pedestrial friendly as well from Colfax to Market.

I agree with 8:54–the whole pedestrian experience around Colfax and Speer is miserable, and you'd think that with Auraria and the back end of the Convention Center there this would not be so. The city needs to do a major re-working. I'd also suggest bicycle/pedestrian bridges to cross Speer at one or more points between Colfax and Broadway.

Imagine if the pedestrian improvements crossed Speer…it would be like the City acknowledging that Lincoln Park exists!

For the record, pedestrians do attempt to cross Speer. OMG! Like, could we get some decent crossings too?

That entire block is like a fortress- surrounded almost entirely by 5-foot cement walls. Those buildings are pretty dreary as well. A new modern building would help soften up that area.

It's nice to hear that they are putting it on an existing parking lot. That part of the GT has a shameful amount of surface parking.

It's tough to sell land that is adjacent to detention facilities and "bail bond row". I know I wouldn't want to live or work right there. The sad part is that it is so close to the new museum and civic center park.
