On March 18th, U.S. District Court Judge John Kane refused the most recent attempt to derail the construction and redevelopment of the Denver Union Station site. (http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2010/03/15/daily50.html) Regardless of your opinion of some of the minor details of the final plan, the reality is that moving forward with the current design is the only way this critical piece of transportation infrastructure is going to be built. The design isn’t perfect – it has flaws. The reality of this world is that everything, and everyone has flaws. If we keep waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect design, the perfect plan to come around, it never will. The current design for the transportation structure works, is aesthetically appealing, and will meet the needs of passengers both coming and going from Lower Downtown for generations to come. I am proud that we get to be here to continue to have input in the project as it moves forward. It is without a doubt the most important project to be developed in LoDo since LoDo was reinvented 25 years ago. Let the digging begin!
