The City and County of Denver secured $23 million in funding to complete improvements along the Washington Street Corridor, which was identified as a transformative project in the Globeville Neighborhood Plan. The multi-year planning, design, and implementation process is paving the way for an improved public realm for the community, multi-modal connectivity, new water quality infrastructure, and opportunities for private reinvestment.
Livable Cities Studio is working as part of a larger multidisciplinary team to lead the urban and streetscape design for Washington Street, which is envisioned as a new mixed-use corridor and ‘main street’ for the neighborhood. The team is working with the community to develop design solutions for streetscape amenities, furnishings, integrated stormwater planters, a shared use path, and the integration of public art that celebrates the culture and character of the Globeville Neighborhood.
The integrated design approach for Washington Street prioritizes the public realm and focuses on the co-benefits between engineering, transportation, sustainability, and public space for the community.
