The sound of construction on the 16th Street Mall is music to the ears of the Downtown Denver Partnership, which just reopened the newly revitalized section of the pedestrian mall between Larimer and Lawrence Streets.
“Almost two years ago, we started a project to invest $150 million into the heart of our city,” said Kourtny Garrett, president and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. “This is a full infrastructure redo of 16th Street, all of the blocks leading all the way up to Civic Center.”
On Wednesday, a block party was held to showcase the mall’s new additions, the results of the major renovation project.
The opening comes as downtown Denver continues to struggle, although economic experts say the number of people heading downtown is bouncing back.
