The plan is good, but this particular set of owners ensures that nothing will ever come of this.

Not just no improvements, but they don't care about upkeep and obviously pay the absolute minimum possible for maintenance. The Dikeous are egregious slumlords and it's offensive to the people of Denver that they would try to paint themselves as a group of people that are concerned about urbanism or the city. If this plan doesn't involve them selling the land or involves them managing the properties it's guaranteed to be a disaster.
Those lots are usually the last to get plowed on snowy days and the most likely to turn into sheets of ice and not get cleared. AND there have been a couple of person-sized sinkholes along the 18th side of the lot at 18th & Broadway for a couple of years and the only thing they've done about it is to put up a traffic cone. I've actually seen people stumble into the hole on snowy days because the sidewalk hasn't been cleared.
It sounds horrible, but I kind of hoped someone would get hurt and sue for enough to make their continued slum-lording of those lots unprofitable.
