Speer Boulevard and a Trolley

If I was dictator of Denver, here is what I would envision.

First, lets tunnel 1st Avenue in Cherry Creek and connect Cherry Creek Mall to Cherry Creek North. This is not because I love to shop, more because I despise the car and love bring people together in cool spaces.

Second, staying near CC, I would also bury Speer Boulevard from University all the way to the Pepsi Center. Now, I am first to tell you that this would cost a fortune, and anyway this is my pipe dream.

Third, I would run a street car from DU north along University to CC, then along the newly covered Speer Boulevard I would run it above the street all the way to the Highlands and Tennyson Street.

Again, this is just a pipe dream, but what a cool one it would be. What about you, what things would you do to the city if your were the dictator?
