Give Us Your Feedback on the Closure of 1700 Wynkoop!
The LoDo District Inc. would like to know the impacts on your business and residence of the recent test closure for a festival function in the 1700 block of Wynkoop Street. Was there an increase, decrease, or no change in your business activity? Was it harder for your customers or employees to access and park (and valet park) for your business? Did it affect your ability to access your residence? Did you observe any change in vehicular traffic on Wazee, Wewatta, 17th, 18th, and 19th Streets? How did it affect deliveries? Did you observe any change in ride-share drop-off and pick-up activities for Union Station? Were the planned activities in the Wynkoop test area enough to give a feel for a pedestrian experience and a sense of a festival? In general, what were the affects of the closure on Wynkoop Street and its adjoining streets? Please send your observations to us.
