The 16th Street Mall is simultaneously Denver's backbone, its central Main Street, and a key catalyst for our collective growth. The 16th Street Mall Project is Denver’s plan to revitalize this crucial space by improving safety and mobility, addressing deteriorating infrastructure, and creating more opportunities for people who live, visit, and work in the Mile High City to enjoy the area for years to come. In this walkshop, you’ll learn how the City has engaged community stakeholders, including blind and visually-impaired people, to test and refine a new curbless configuration. We’ll also examine ways the City has worked with local businesses to provide support during the construction process and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we’ll discuss Denver’s approach to creating a thriving tree canopy, and check out the future of the mall through VR headsets.
