Book Description
"A responsible alternative is to close I-70 between Wadsworth Avenue and Central Park Boulevard, and to divert traffic north of the current alignment onto I-76 and I-270. It also proposes construction of a surface boulevard along what currently is Brighton Boulevard. That would funnel traffic from DIA, Green Valley Ranch and Montbello into downtown Denver along Brighton Boulevard and make this route the gateway into the city. It would open up space along this new boulevard for redevelopment, reintegrate the Globeville, Elyria and Swansea neighborhoods into the city, and raise property values. Additionally, along this reroute, CDOT already owns almost all the land it needs for development, and the impact on the surrounding residents and businesses would be reduced to almost nothing."--publisher description.

Metropolitan Denver
Author: Andrew R. Goetz
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812250451
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Nestled between the Rocky Mountains to the west and the High Plains to the east, Denver, Colorado, is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile above sea level. Over the past ten years, it has also been one of the country's fastest-growing metropolitan areas. In Denver's early days, its geographic proximity to the mineral-rich mountains attracted miners, and gold and silver booms and busts played a large role in its economic success. Today, its central location—between the west and east coasts and between major cities of the Midwest—makes it a key node for the distribution of goods and services as well as an optimal site for federal agencies and telecommunications companies. In Metropolitan Denver, Andrew R. Goetz and E. Eric Boschmann show how the city evolved from its origins as a mining town into a cosmopolitan metropolis. They chart the foundations of Denver's recent economic development—from mining and agriculture to energy, defense, and technology—and examine the challenges engendered by a postwar population explosion that led to increasing income inequality and rapid growth in the number of Latino residents. Highlighting the risks and rewards of regional collaboration in municipal governance, Goetz and Boschmann recount public works projects such as the construction of the Denver International Airport and explore the smart growth movement that shifted development from postwar low-density, automobile-based, suburban and exurban sprawl to higher-density, mixed use, transit-oriented urban centers. Because of its proximity to the mountains and generally sunny weather, Denver has a reputation as a very active, outdoor-oriented city and a desirable place to live and work. Metropolitan Denver reveals the purposeful civic decisions made regarding tourism, downtown urban revitalization, and cultural-led economic development that make the city a destination.
