In 2006, the city completed a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategic Plan that identified a need for land use planning for the 38th and Inca station area on RTD’s future Gold Line commuter rail corridor.  Over the past year, RTD examined the station location as part of the Gold Line Environmental Impact Statement.  As a result of this process, RTD is recommending the station be located at approximately 41st and Fox streets on the east side of the Union Pacific Railroad. Over the past two years, the City and County of Denver worked with community members to develop a station area plan for the half-mile area surrounding the future 41st and Fox station.   Plan Goals:  Improve pedestrian connections to the station, between neighborhoods, and along major corridors Create opportunities to add more housing, jobs and services to the station area Incorporate plazas, parks and open space into redevelopment areas Capitalize on the station area’s proximity to Downtown and location on the Gold Line and Northwest Rail corridors Balance the needs of new development and existing uses Plan Elements Development of a high intensity activity node close to the station on the east side Creation of a pedestrian shopping corridor along Fox Street Mixed-use redevelopment of the former Denver Post site Linked park and open space improvements to enhance neighborhood livability by providing positive orientation, buffering, aesthetics, recreational amenities, and storm water management Capture partnership benefits with Regency Student Housing by encouraging ties between academic institutions, student populations, and incubator employment uses Respect existing housing west of the station by redeveloping along the edges of the Sunnyside neighborhood leading to Inca Street and in a mixed-use node at 38th and Navajo Incorporate historically significant structures by drawing design inspiration from the area’s historic, industrial character Promote pedestrian and bicycle connectivity with improvements to Navajo, 38th, Elati, 41st, 44th, Fox, Inca and other streets Promote structured RTD parking that is shared with adjacent development Capture views of Downtown and buffer the station area by locating taller structures along I-25 and I-70 Support for sustainable development, green building practices, housing affordability and healthy, walkable communities Since beginning the planning process in 2008, the City and County of Denver has held three public workshops and met with stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and vision for the station area and develop ideas for land use and circulation concepts.   Where we are headed:   November 16, 2009 - FasTracks Committee Meeting December 7, 2009 - Adoption by City Council For additional information, please contact Thomas Hoaglund, the 41st and Fox Station Area Plan Project Manager at Thomas.Hoaglund@denvergov.org or 720-865-2930
