Using DenverInfill to keep up to date on this project works pretty well. But seeing it in person is another story.

Ken is out of town, so I will be conducting the tour so please join me this Saturday at 10:00AM in front of the historic station at 17th and Wynkoop. Even if you have taken recent tours, you may want to come along on this one to see the project from a new perspective: 200 feet above.

Since we will be walking a little more than usual, you should plan to spend more than an hour. The suggested (truly optional) donation for the tour is $10 per person and all proceeds go to the non-profit Union Station Advocates.

Denver Union Station is buzzing with construction activity! Join us this Saturday morning, September 17, for a one-hour walking tour and overview of the half-billion-dollar Denver Union Station project and its four primary elements: the public spaces, the transit/transportation elements, the new private-sector development, and the reuse of the historic structure.

Here’s how it works: Head on down to the LoDo side of the historic station at 17th & Wynkoop at about 9:50 AM. Whoever shows up, that will be our tour group. We’ll start promptly at 10:00 AM and conclude around 11:00 AM at the Millennium Bridge. The suggested donation for the tour is $10 per person and all proceeds go to the non-profit Union Station Advocates, but you’re welcome to attend regardless of what you can donate. We just want you to learn about this exciting project, so see you Saturday morning!

DenverInfill is taking a holiday break from our regular Denver Union Station tour schedule of the first and third Saturdays of each month. There will be no tour offered this Saturday, September 3, 2011.

Please plan to join us on Saturday, September 17, 2011 for our next Union Station tour. As always, a day or two before the Saturday in question we’ll post a confirmation that the tour will proceed as planned.

Enjoy the long Labor Day weekend!

Just like our last Union Station walking tour was special because it was the only tour that took place during the 3-week transition period from the old to the new light rail station, this weekend’s tour is special because… it’s the first tour that includes the new light rail station! Have you been there yet? Help us celebrate this major milestone in the Union Station Transit Center project by joining us for a one-hour walking tour this Saturday, August 20. You’ll get a nifty handout with maps and renderings, plus you’ll get a detailed description about this exciting project and all of its components including the public spaces, transportation elements, and private development.

See you Saturday morning!

This Saturday’s Union Station walking tour will be special. It will be our only tour taking place during the 3-week transition from old light rail station to new light rail station. The old station is closed and the tracks removed from the street. The new station’s finishing touches are being applied. 16th Street is being rebuilt. Hundreds of workers are busily preparing the site for the August 15 opening of Phase 1 of the new Union Station transit hub. This is an exiting time for all you transit, construction, or urban enthusiasts out there, so why not join me this Saturday morning to check it out?! Bring your cameras!

As always, meet in front of the historic station at 17th & Wynkoop at about 9:50 AM. We’ll get started promptly at 10:00 AM and conclude around 11:00 AM on the Millennium Bridge. The suggested donation for the tour is $10 per person and all proceeds go to the non-profit Union Station Advocates, but you’re welcome to attend regardless of what you can donate.
