The Highline Canal is getting a mobility makeover as the city pushes the Connections project into its design phase.

For residents in the 80221 zip code and those who use the canal for commuting or recreation, this means a long-term overhaul of how the corridor connects to the rest of the city's transportation network.

Planners and engineers are currently drafting infrastructure upgrades for the area identified as 13.01.017.001 Highline Canal Connections. The project timeline runs through 2027, focusing on detailed design work to improve safety and travel efficiency before any ground is broken for construction.

Residents can attend public meetings regarding these upgrades at Denver City Hall. More details are available via the city's Capital Projects portal.
