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. See you Saturday morning!
