Buechner Breakfast First Friday

The Rapid Transit District (RTD) in metro Denver has been engaged in one of the largest transit expansions in America. New lines will open soon to the Denver airport, and to the north and western suburbs. Supported by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DR COG), the Buechner Institute has recently studied the issue of transit-oriented development (TOD). Please join us for the first Buechner Breakfast of the academic year featuring the “Challenges and Opportunities for Transit Oriented-Development.” How does the region and Colorado benefit from TOD? Are we leveraging its economic development? What are the strategies and lessons learned for related issues like affordable housing, first and last mile connectivity, jobs, social equity, long term economic vitality and sustainability? The forum will feature recent results from key studies and deliberations on these and other issues to project how to build and enhance our transit investments – what’s emerging and what’s next for TOD? Please join us as our expert panel members address these issues and your questions and comments.
