The 40 West ArtLine is a 4-mile outdoor public arts experience in the 40 West Arts Creative District along West Colfax Avenue and the W Line light rail in Lakewood. Meandering through many diverse neighborhoods, the route connects people to city parks, schools, shopping, transit, housing, and civic spaces. The Framework Plan and Implementation Tools project builds on 10 years of planning and input for the ArtLine. This plan will articulate a long-term sustainable vision that prioritizes equity, balances investments, and celebrates the areas surrounding the ArtLine. Livable Cities Studio is working with the City of Lakewood and 40 West Arts District to lead the engagement and conceptual design for the project.
Todd Wenskoski has been involved in the early planning of the Arts District since 2011 through his leadership on the arts district vision and the resulting 40 West Arts District Urban Design and Mobility Concepts plan that identifies specific implementation strategies to improve multimodal mobility in the area and help create a unique sense of place.
