Getting Around Town: Take the Light Rail

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:36:45 +0000

Unfortunately, Denver has been rated third in the nation for Worst Traffic. However, most of this traffic happens during the morning and evening rush hours. Also, there is a rise in traffic because so many people are moving to our great city that we haven’t had time to expand our highways and byways.

If you are visiting our fine town you may not even notice the traffic as you can meander during the off peak times when the roads are clear and manageable. This is a viable solution. Though, here in Denver there is even a better choice for visitors and residents alike.

The Light Rail started its life here in Denver over a decade ago and has been building steam ever since. Its incarnation took some doing, for residents along the planned routes thought it would be too noisy and fought its being built for quite some time. Luckily, other neighborhoods were excited for it to be put in place and the rest is as they say- history.

It not only helps you beat the traffic, it helps the environment and many people’s sanity as well. No more driving, way more reading, or listening to music, or people watching. Even the short walks to and from the stations are beneficial to your health.

The fare ranges from $1.75 to $4.00 depending on how many zones you travel through. Bikes are allowed on board, and many routes let off near some great bike paths. Don’t worry, the Light Rail’s Routes all point to downtown so it is a great option for commuters, not just for the recreational riders.

Catching the Light Rail is simple- there are many stops throughout Downtown. Each stop has a ticket station with easy to follow instructions. Buy a ticket, get on board, and take the Light Rail to Union Station, to The University of Denver, Invesco Field, Littleton, all the way out to County Line Road! DNC 2008 participants- it even goes to The Pepsi Center. With 6 lines to choose from- the destinations are plentiful.

Hey Football fans!

The Denver Broncos are having their annual Broncos Fan Fair this weekend, June 7th and 8th. If you’ve never attended a Fan Fair and you’re a die hard Blue and Orange fan, you don’t know what you’re missing!!

Head on out to Invesco Field at Mile High and meet the current players, coaches and staff, as well as notable alumni and the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders! (Yes kids, Miles the Bronco Mascot will be there too!)

There will be four autograph stations and two photo opportunity areas for fans to connect with their favorite players (or get to know someone new!), as well as a special Kids Zone on the field itself with a special KIDS ONLY autograph area!

Tickets are available online or at the stadium box office. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Denver Broncos Charities. Event times are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. A limited number of “family five packs” with tickets for five people to enjoy the entire weekend cost just $50. Individual weekend passes cost $25 for adults and $15 for children ages two to 12, while children under two get in free.
