I’m happy to announce that I’ve just uploaded a major upgrade to DenverInfill’s Central Platte Valley district page.

Previously, all of Downtown Denver’s Central Platte Valley infill projects were described on a single page and their locations identified on a single aerial photo that covered the whole area from 15th to 20th Streets and Interstate 25 to Wewatta Street. There are so many infill developments in this area (over 30) that the resulting aerial photo map was covered with project numbers at a scale that made it somewhat difficult to clearly discern the many projects’ exact locations. To see what I mean, view the “old” CPV page here.

Now, the Central Platte Valley district has been divided into four subareas, each with its own page, plus a main CPV district overview page. Each project site is now also identified with a yellow box, similar to how the Downtown infill projects are displayed, to make it easier to understand the location of each new CPV development. In addition, since all of the Central Platte Valley has been master planned and is already divided into development parcels, I’ve also added project sections for all CPV development sites–even if there’s no active proposal there now–so that when a new project is announced, its site is already identified on DenverInfill.

Finally, I’ve broken from tradition and used newer 2004 color aerial photos for the base aerial images. Doing so is particularly useful for the CPV, as much of the district’s infrastructure didn’t exist when the black-and-white 2000 aerials, used throughout the rest of DenverInfill, were taken.

I hope you like the upgrade to the CPV district page and that it will allow you to more easily keep track of all those great urban infill projects sprouting up in Downtown Denver’s Central Platte Valley!
