I hate it when stuff like that happens. Causes me sleepless nights.
You take the best shots at night or low-light times of the day which are always some of my favorite type of photos. In fact one of your pics still serves as the background for my desktop.

Couple of quibbles.
First of all 'they' don't date the damn thing. I know... I'm sure they feel their work is timeless but by habit, the first thing I look for is the date. It's just "professional' to date your work IMO. Admittedly, it wasn't that hard to peg the timing.
Second, I was going to suggest next time linking to the 'Executive Summary' but this is where things start to get complicated. I quickly found the updated 'Game Plan' for a healthy city but that's very different.
With additional searching the named "The Outdoor Downtown Plan" was initiated by the 'Downtown Denver Partnership' in 2015 in collaboration with the 'Denver Parks and Rec' and released to the public October of 2017.
Pros and Cons

59.6% of online survey respondents reported that they avoid downtown outdoor spaces because they feel uncomfortable.

How sad is that and the 'homeless' problem has only gotten worse since 2017.
On the plus side, anything to do with green/park or public space is desirable by definition. Managing it properly is the challenge.
Good News
As the city center and adjacent neighborhoods have grown, significant money has been invested in open space. Think of the improvements along the Platte River including the pending improvements into RiNo and then the National Western Center. Other green space has and is being created as a result of flood and drainage control. These enhancements are indeed a really Big Plus in my book.
Do I want more? Always!
