Denver businesses in the vicinity of the Yale station along the Southeast Corridor light rail line have expressed concern about potential impacts associated with the demand for transit-related parking at Yale Circle. In response to the community concern, the City and County of Denver Public Works Department created a parking management plan for the station area, and implemented parking restrictions created with input from adjacent businesses and residents who represent the area near the Yale Station.

HOW are the new parking restrictions working?

Denver Public Works plans to begin monitoring the effectiveness of the parking management plan and the newly installed restrictions in January of 2007, when new transit patterns along the Southeast Corridor become more consistent. Until then, residents and transit users near the Yale Station are encouraged to submit input on how the restrictions are working, not working, or how they could be better applied. Please call Denver’s 3-1-1 Information Line, or email your comments to: pworks@ci.denver.co.us to send us your thoughts.

WHO is affected?
