A thread 🧵 of car-centric uses on E Colfax Avenue and their acreage. Working on a blog post about this. 1 acre surface parking lot at NE corner of Lincoln St and Colfax. 1/2 acre of tucked-under parking that leads to a surface lot behind NE corner of Grant St and Colfax.

Saw that construction on Colfax had torn up the sidewalk out front of Pete’s Kitchen so I decided to stop by and #backthefax for breakfast. Boy, it was busy!! Can’t wait until there are new trees out front on Colfax once the BRT is up and running

Related to 5280 on Acoma St, the results are in from the public on how they want to cross Speer Boulevard via the 5280 Trail and it’s conclusive—a new signal and new crossing at Cherokee/10th Ave with new park space was far and away the preferred approach…
How interested are you in the bond-funded 5280 Trail project as it goes down two blocks of Acoma Street past the old Evans School from 10th to 12th?.

Great interview today on @CityCastDenver with Councilman Darrell Watson, especially his comments about reimagining and possibly removing the L Line going up Welton Street. Really important conversation, and advocates should listen closely to the argument!.

100%.
As I've said all along, there's no chance the city of Denver would let the @broncos walk. They'll do whatever it takes to keep them within city limits.

Zoning limits how tall new skyscrapers are in most of downtown + complicated sunlight preservation rules. 1801 California Street, Denver’s 2nd tallest skyscraper, is 309 ft taller than zoning allows today! Downtown area plan could do away with height limits in D-C zones tho 👀
.@BuildUpDenver is there some sort of high limit in this area? Really makes our skyline look bad tbh.

Thankfully in Denver the most recent design guidelines have hidden the most prominent building edges that would have shown parking garages… but we still have a lot of ugly parking podiums here too.
Poorly hidden parking podiums are one of the most criticized architectural design choices. This student apartment tower in College Station is one of the worst I've seen. See through fabric is being used to hide the parking levels.

Looking at a 100% affordable housing development proposed in a C-MX-8 zone. Developers say .8 parking spots per unit is required. Actually 0 parking is currently required at that location due to proximity to the A Line, and .1 per IRU unit has been the standard for 3 years now?.
