RG also passes along this photo showing the creation of a bike gutter (a trough on stairways) on this stairwell. It is rare to find a bike gutter in place on stairways in the DC area.

As Denver builds out its light rail system, the Union Station area--not just the train station--is being redeveloped in a multimodal transit hub. A very interesting article, "Union Station may become Denver's gateway again -- if it stays on track" about the plan and process ran in 2008 in Westword, that region's alternative weekly.

More recently, there were followups, "What lies ahead for the Union Station project" and "Union Station: What comes next in Denver's ambitious rail plans, part 2," after the project received $304 million in federal loans, and was able to move forward.
