Connecting the city

Exciting news to share – Denver, there will be a new Light Rail!

This is great news for any Denverite as the city will be that much more accessible by public transportation.  That translates to visiting new places, trying new things and enjoying more of what Denver has to offer.

As quoted from the article:  “Planners say Denver Union Station will serve as a multimodal transportation hub, integrating light rail, commuter rail, and intercity rail (Amtrak), as well as regional, express, and local bus service, the 16th Street mall shuttle, Downtown Circulator, and intercity buses, taxis, shuttles, vans, limousines, bicycles and pedestrians.”

Besides the fact that this strengthens our community, there is another positive.  This positive is pretty exciting, wait for it, “A lunch time grand opening celebration for the Light Rail Plaza at Denver union Station will be held Friday, May 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.”   Celebrate! 

There will be festivities at Denver Union Station, starting with a concert by Electric Hammer at 11:30 a.m. and finishing off with a Roz Brown performance at 12:40 p.m.  Bring some snacks and have a great afternoon.  Be there or be square.
