Denver (KDVR)-Denver’s continuous focus on the sixteenth street was clear on Saturday, when the city leaders, including Mayor Mike Johnston, met to celebrate the first main renovations of the infantry center in its 43-year-old history.
The city and province of Denver spent $ 1.97 million to support small companies during construction, in addition to a partnership with a partnership in the city of Denver to distribute grants and technical assistance to companies in the region. Renewals are only one of the new efforts of the city to attract more people in the city center.
Johnston said in the city’s statement: “The sixteenth street is the place where families are making memories, where workers and visitors feel communication, and where the spirit of Denver shines.” “With the completion of the work now, we have renewed a vital piece of Denver, while making it more welcome, vibrant and accessible to everyone.”
PCL CONSTRUCTION Services made renovations, which cost $ 176.7 million, according to the city’s release. The city said that the money was presented through local, state and federal funds, including Bond Denver funds approved by the voter.
Thirteen blocks of the street witnessed 16 improvements, extending from Al -Souk Street to Broadway.
The sixteenth street area was opened for the first time in 1982 in the round of 16th street, and city officials said that the renovations were necessary to treat the deteriorating infrastructure – specifically the granite paving system that led to poor drainage and repeated disturbances in the sixteenth freedom system in the street, which increased maintenance costs.
The Director General of RTD and CEO Derberra said. Johnson: “The sixteenth accent on the street was one of the most important features in this historic corridor for decades. The population and visitors in the metro area will continue both to take advantage of this zero movement option, especially after the transportation corridors have been modified and improved.” “The use of transportation increased with the reopening of individual blocs, and I expect the direction to continue, taking into account more customers from prominent improvements along this important road.”
In addition to repairing the infrastructure, the renewal project added the design features that the city said would make the street “more desirable, wicked and attractive.” Renewal included site furniture, operating features and “Moments of Joy” – the facilities designed to make visitors stop Wilskon image, interact with art or other cases designed to stimulate joy.
“Street 16, in essence, is the place where Denver comes to celebrate the history of our city, stories and traditions. With the expanded programming space, we are excited to see more activation and return to the city center experience in a new way.” “Since the opening of the first block last year, we have witnessed a steady traffic on foot with more and more people who discover the sixteenth street in its latest forms. This completion is not only the end of construction, but at the beginning of the wonderful chapter in the sixteenth street.”
