If you’re a believer in streetcars like me and support the return of the streetcar to central Denver, then you should plan on attending the Streetcars and Cities in the 21st Century workshop coming to Denver later this month.
The program will be held on September 27 and is being presented by the Seaside Institute and Reconnecting America. Here’s a link to where you can register online and get all the details.
You should also check out the Denver Streetcars website at http://www.denverstreetcars.net/index.htm. Produced by students at the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado, the website provides a brief history of Denver’s once-extensive streetcar system, an overview of new streetcar proposals, and lots of other good information.
After FasTracks is complete, RTD’s entire light rail and commuter rail system will extend about 150 miles–about half the length of the streetcar network Denver once had.
