Give now and help us raise $12,000 by June 7.At the intersection of 15th and California streets in downtown Denver, buses experience turbulence thanks to degraded light rail tracks that cut across the intersection.
The L Line will be shut down during the project, but RTD is rerouting multiple rail lines and increasing bus service downtown. RTD will shut down the light rail's L Line on May 26, too, and reroute the D and H lines to Union Station instead of their usual routes through the Central Business District until September. There will also be safety updates made to light rail lines outside the city center, so service will end at midnight on weeknights for all six light rail lines and 2 a.m. on weekends for all but the R Line.
“We made the decision to divert trains at Union Station, recognizing that that is a major, large intermodal transit hub whereby people can get connections to go about the region on other modes,” Johnson said, pointing to the bus options available.
