If you’ve ever wanted to move to Colorado, the time is perfect to start experiencing Denver. Denver’s city council has approved plans designed to transform Denver into one of the most desirable and livable cities in the country. Denver’s popular 16th Street Mall’s side streets will be redeveloped to entice people to venture off the mall. Denver’s once popular streetcars will be brought back to life to reconnect neighborhoods to downtown. Some of Denver’s major boulevards will be made more pedestrian friendly.

Union Station, Civic Center Park and Denver’s Arapahoe Square neighborhood located near Coors Field will have beautiful new pedestrian promenades along some of Denver’s historic downtown buildings, all of which will be renovated, updated and preserved but used for different purposes. Denver’s city fathers have visions of revitalization during the next 20 years. Many people are already waiting for their chance at making their own personal impact on the future growth of Denver. Are you?
