Denver (KDVR) – What the local population knew, where the sixteenth place was revived to the street street and the brand renamed, COLORADANS and tourists who have not recently visited the region for a completely new experience.
The commercial center was a popular area for the local population and tourists alike before the epidemic. After years of construction for activation efforts that caused circumventing traffic and decreased traffic, 16th Street has a lot of new features, bringing the new region completely.
Sharon Alton, Sharon Alton, Sharon Alton, Sharon Alton, in downtown Denver, told Fox31 that while visitors began returning to the street 16 after 2021 and many employees returned to the city center, many Coloradans had not visited years ago.
“It is just a completely new feeling and look, it is completely different from what it was,” Alton said in an interview on Thursday.
Although the street is not expected to be completely open to this fall, its new appearance and new feeling for the first time with live music and events during the next weekend.
New in 16th Street: Trees, Patios Restaurant, Entertainment
The name was changed to Street 16, which Alton said was not just an attempt to restore the area but also an explanation of tourists. She said that many visitors stood on the sixteenth street and asked about the location of the commercial center, and they did not know that they are there. The new name aims to invite visitors to verify what the street offers more than one commercial center.
There are a lot of companies and new features to check 16 Street, and Alton said there is something fun in every block.
She said that there are 23 new retailers on the ground floor along Street 16. Many yards are now leaking in restaurants on the sidewalk and there are new beer gardens.
The only thing Alton said people will “in a different way” before is more trees and plants. The city dug 20 feet below the ground to replace the Denver water lines, and while the land was dug, it made progress in the forest initiative and planted the full trees that will provide the shade umbrella along the mile from the sixteenth street.
“This is only rare in the area of the city center, so it is a soft feeling,” Alton said.
Previously, there were small trees in a small family, and Alton said many of them were dying. But the new system has a web -like structure that allows the roots of the tree to grow until it is strong and complete, which leads to a rare scene of large trees against the background of a skyscraper.
There are also many new art facilities, some of which are interactive and allow viewers to create music or grievances. For those who stop in the streets, walking to street 16 will add to the experiment.
Children can enjoy interactive art as well as many new game structures installed in the region.
Blocking parties to start the new 16th Street
On the day of the anniversary, the famous DJ Fisher will work at a huge party and the street will be converted into a large outdoor dance track lining up with bars, retailers and restaurants.
“It will perform in a place for the unprecedented music concert on the sixteenth street Wilton. So thousands of people will gather there between all skyscrapers and high users in the heart of the city center, and they will deliver a huge DG party,” Alton said. “It will really breathe a lot of fresh life in one of our most famous cultural paths.”
The ceremony will be a specific event, but Alton said that the general public will remain able to explore the area and feel the new space on Monday, decreasing to reach some companies in the area designated for the attendees.
“We are excited because it brings a younger demographic to the sixteenth artist Street because these people want to celebrate and want to celebrate in wonderful and unique spaces, not just an inner place.
More opening celebrations will celebrate partial opening on May 31 and June 1 with a mile block party, which Alton said will be the largest party in the city center in at least two decades.
The weekend on 16 Summer Street is free and open to the public. There will be more than 100 market sellers, artists lined up in the streets and the World Cup climbing occurred nearby.
