Placemaking
Nevada Avenue runs north-south through the heart of Colorado Springs, Colorado, stretching about 10 miles from Fort Carson in the south to the sprawling campus of the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS) at its north end. Prior to the construction of Interstate 25 in the 1960s, this roadway was the main route between Colorado Springs and Denver, and for destinations as far away as Mexico and Canada. Today, the corridor continues to serve as an essential connection between downtown and UCCS. It also has the potential to become much more than just a place to travel through; it can become a hub for research, health and wellness, and sports performance tech, as well as a catalyst for a new innovation neighborhood. Join this session to learn more about a recent ULI Advisory Services panel in Colorado Springs that offered recommendations for transforming North Nevada Avenue into a corridor for the future.
