Light Rail Trains are Skipping Some Stops in Downtown Denver

Right now RTD is preparing to open the new light rail station in the Union Station complex. As a result many light rail trains will not stop at all stations downtown. If you are going to be traveling to the Auraria West Campus, INVESCO Field at Mile High, Pepsi Center/Elitch Gardens or Union Station stops before August 15, be prepared to take a bus from the 10th and Osage station or to walk from the California Street or Colfax at Auraria stops. The shuttle bus will not stop at the Auraria West Campus stop.

There will be no light rail service to the Colfax at Auraria and the Theater District/Convention Center stops this weekend. A shuttle bus will replace service. On Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14, there will be no light rail service north of the I-25 and Broadway Station. It is my understanding that there will be buses covering these stops also.

After the work is finished, the Union Station light rail stop will have moved and the free 16th Street mall shuttle will go further.
