Walking with RTD and the Union Station Hole-in-the-Ground Gang!

From RTD this morning, an announcement that Walking Tours of the Union Station Redevelopment Project will be offered free to the public. This is a joint effort of DUSPA, USNC and RTD. If you know your acronyms, you know this is pretty much everyone involved in the massive project.

The tours are at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, June 17, July 15, August 18, and September 16. One hour in length, they will focus on some of the history and lore of the historic station, the scope of the transit redevelopment project and views of the actual construction. You have to call 303-592-5462 to sign up, as groups are limited to 25 people each. They'll meet at the Wynkoop Street entrance to the station.

If you are a real construction-aholic (you know who you are), sign up for more than one. And, if you are like some people who want to experience RTD, but you are afraid to ride a bus, this walking could be the answer.
