A 17th Street view of the new Union Station Neighborhood

Wow, the future is so bright. Today I was in the Union Station Neighborhood Office located in Union Station and they had a great rendering of the vision for the 17th street plaza leading up to the historic Union Station Building.

Check out the cool cutaway showing the bus transit below grade.  Those big glass structures will allow folks who are below grade to check out the stars and restaurants lights above.  Plus the folks on the ground above, after relaxing in a restaurant with a glass of wine, will be able to cruise out to the plaza and look down into the energy of the transit.

Cool, cool, cool

  1. Looks pretty nifty..! I’m assuming that this picture is looking east toward Union Station and all these “proposed” buildings are what may possibly be built in the Union Station redevelopment area. If that’s the case – I wonder how long the underground bus line will run. Are there any plans on moving the current location of the bus terminal on Blake?

  2. I note with joy that they appear to have included moving sidewalks in the rendering of the below grade bus terminal, which nicely compensates for the LRT station being at the north end of the new union station, instead of right next to the commuter trains as it is now.

    This is gonna be so cool. :)
