 TOD in Denver Minimize
The City and County of Denver Department of Community Planning and Development in conjunction with our partners, including Public Works, and the Office of Economic Development, RTD and others, is conducting a major planning initiative to facilitate appropriate transit oriented development near current and future station locations.  The planning process will identify a vision and strategies to direct appropriate change at these station areas and utilize the transit investment as a catalyst to enrich and enhance Denver’s neighborhoods.

This web site provides information about the current planning processes and transit oriented development.
