Seems like the SE line is all about what will be coming. The TOD's are the saving grace in the DTC area, but not cutting through the DTC area was a major mistake. Hopefully this all works out over the next twenty years. If Bellview Station and the Arapaho Stations become decent TOD's then there's hope.

Now the SW and West corridors? Those are pretty decent layouts. Though the chance for future TOD's along the SW corridor is really limited (south of Littleton Station it seems as if all of the stations are destined to always be commuter stations, not a bad thing per se, but still) and the Englewood TOD can be so, so, so much more.
