With the 2 cranes on Platte and the 2 on Little Raven, I believe there are now 10 total between Union Station and I-25. Add in on all the cranes in River North and other parts of town and it is a pretty phenomenal time in Denver right now!

I think we're far too busy encouraging roadway expansion and turning a blind eye toward density focused transit for this to ever be a reality for Denver, not to mention the cost. As far as I know the only North American city still considering a new subway system is Toronto (although Seattle's "transit tunnel" may be a bit more realistic for us), which is somewhat embarrassing considering the expansion that's been seen in emerging economies.
Edit: Not to mention that as automated vehicles become more prevalent over the next 4-5 years in metropolitan centers, many people are of the opinion that a there wouldn't be a reason for such a system in cities the size of Denver.
Although you conflate issues that aren't mutually exclusive I would agree with your conclusions.

I stood at the top of the hill in Commons Park today and counted 12 cranes that can clearly be seen from that vantage point.
True. But only if it's brought closer to Union Station as was originally envisioned. Wonder how feasible it is to run either under the bus terminal or under the station plaza?
Here are a couple of new renderings of the project:
Ignore the fact that the northbound Speer lanes are shown as two-way traffic and the fact that the building does not extend all the way to 10th Avenue:
What? That the $1B was better than the $500M plan? I don't think that anyone ever discounted that one. Or are you referring to the 'ol codger's (I kid) conspiracy that it was all done for the monied interests in a nefarious plot against the people?
