Railroad Redevelopment Planning.
Abstract
It is the intent of this report to investigate other railroad redevelopment projects in order to determine what programming patterns, if any, emerge as constants in planning for such redevelopment. When a program has been determined, a test case, using the Denver Union Terminal, will be prepared to evaluate the project. This report is organized into seven sections, the first of which is this Introduction. Section II is concerned with the program hypothesis. It includes research into specific projects as well as publications by the Department of Transportation and the Urban Land Institute on railroad redevelopment planning. A sample program will be established along with criteria for evaluating any projects developed. The specific factors applicable to the Denver Union Station project will be discussed in Section III with supporting graphics. Section IV consists of development alternatives for Denver Union Station, consistent with the generated program and local conditions. Evaluations of the alternatives follows in Section V, including comments on how well the alternatives matched the program. The findings and their impacts on both the researched literature and Denver downtown development are discussed in Sections VI and VII respectively.
