40 West Arts

As I have written before, the West Corridor, a new light rail line running from Denver to Golden, is giving birth to a new arts district, 40 West, near the Lamar Street Station. After a few months of planning by the City of Lakewood, public presentations, and public discussions,  there was kickoff last Tuesday with music, art, and more presentations. Supporters got together at the Rocky Mountain College of Art+Design to learn the arts district's name, and hear about how we go to this stage. And 40 West got its first financial support!

Hopefully, people in work hard to start making this a success by the time that the light rail line actually opens in 2013.

And hopefully we will get a better website. The current design works as a flyer, but online it makes your eyes bleed.

Next up: Oak Street Station and a historic rail car
