Your right that Denver has all their trasit above ground. That wasnt what i was refering to when i talked of their mall they have through downtown. If we were to raise the tracks to the level of the +15s, then we would have a street that no longer has anything on it. What we do with this is an oppurtunity to create something similar to what denver has in their down town core where it is a pedestrian and bus only road that is essentially one big mall.

Only problem with this idea is the city apparently doesnt want to go with the raised tracks downtown according to a previous post in this thread.
