Is the New Broncos Stadium a Traffic Jam Waiting to Happen? Plus, Why ICE Might Be At DIA Soon
Neighbors of Burnham Yard – the proposed site of a future Broncos stadium in La Alma Lincoln Park – are concerned about the development’s impact on traffic flow, parking, and how pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure will be a part of the plan. Can team ownership be trusted to fully address these big picture transit issues? Denver Post city government reporter Elliott Wenzler joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to share what she heard from neighbors and what’s next for this city-transforming project. Plus, they look at the connections between a new lawsuit against the city filed by a lawyer for the city, and what it could mean for the future of federal funding for Denver International Airport.
Elliott talked about the conceptual map of plans to address traffic in and out of the Burnham Yard site.
