Our new Target store has been open almost a month now.
This article from the Denver Business Journal gives some stats on the store, which is the Denver metro area's first "Urban Target."
Particularly impressive (to me) is the ample parking for bicycles. There are also dedicated car pool parking in the parking garage. It all seems so green, but may also simply be a reflection of the kind of traffic increase this store is going to bring to downtown Lakewood. I've already seen the turn lanes off Wadsworth Boulevard onto Virginia Ave. and Alameda back up so much that southbound traffic
on Wadsworth came to a halt for several cycles of the turn signals.Traffic, of course, is part of living downtown anywhere, and in that sense the corner of Wadsworth and Alameda has truly become, at long last, downtown Lakewood.
As for me, I'll be walking or riding my bike to the new Target.
