48TH AVENUE OUTFALL & GREENWAY

The 48th Avenue greenway corridor is bookended by Lincoln Street and ends with a storm outfall directly across from the National Western Center at the South Platte River. The corridor includes Argo Park, across the BNSF railroad tracks through to Washington Street to the newly aligned future Bettie Cram Drive that connects to the future Bettie Cram Bridge across the South Platte River to the National Western Center. The intent of the proposed improvements throughout the greenway corridor creates a seamless connection from Platte Farm Open Space to the National Western Center, essentially connecting Globeville to Denver. The vision for this corridor is to create a space to utilize underground stormwater conveyance and transform the corridor into a natural amenity for the community. This greenway corridor will provide a route of connectivity between parks and trail systems that will improve mobility for the Globeville community and allow community members to experience the benefits of the South Platte River trail system. Addressing the critical flood protection need also provides an opportunity to do something for the Globeville neighborhood that will have a positive lasting impact on the lives of community members. The 48th Avenue Outfall and Overlook are currently under construction and the Greenway is currently in design with anticipated construction to begin in 2026.
