Denver's cold weather shelters will open at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 16 and will remain open as long as cold weather conditions continue.
The Welton Street scape Project continues the implementation of the Five Points Neighborhood Transportation Program Action Plan. Though construction funding needs to be determined, this near-term project will prepare final design documents that convert the temporary improvements implemented through the phase 1 project into permanent streetscape intersection improvements with green infrastructure between 24th and 30th streets.
The project seeks to design improvements that will:
Integrate & enhance intersections: Permanently replace existing paint-and-post intersections with green infrastructure and placemaking elements that celebrate the historic culture of the Welton Street Corridor.
Expand the Five Points Intersection Plaza: Permanently expand the Five Points Intersection Plaza and include placemaking elements that support the historic culture of the Welton Street Corridor.
Create welcoming urban spaces: Develop landmark design elements to create a sense of arrival and strengthen the corridor’s identity.
Enhance environmental sustainability: Manage stormwater and enhance Welton Street’s tree canopy through the addition of green infrastructure improvements.
Improve accessibility and pedestrian comfort: Widen sidewalks wherever possible and provide ADA compliant pathways, ramps and additional amenity/furnishing zones.
