“Suncor Energy Denver Walkway” with RTD FREEMallRide now ditching their electric fleet. It all just makes so much sense.

Edit: obligatory /s

I do get a good amount of tourists asking me where the 16th street mall is (while on it.)

Ok so... what would you rename it? Just 16th Street, or something else? Mile High Street could be fun. Or is that lame? lol

Can we stop hiring out of state agencies to do this work?! I literally run an agency that calls DT Denver home and we're not only outsourcing from the city, but the state?!? WTF?

Is the primary motivation an attempt to shed its reputation from the past few years?

With construction's end in sight it makes sense to re-energize the completed venue with a new vibe. I'd be surprised if they drop "16th" from the name overall though. I'm really looking forward to this being done!

Spending $100k to come up with a new name when everyone is going to call it the mall anyway

You can try and name it anything you want. Go ahead spend a ton of money hiring a firm to “rebrand” it. But that’s just lipstick on the pig. You will still have the empty storefronts, and the crime, even with a new name.
