Short Term Nursing Facility Proposed for Vacant Lot at 100 S. Wadsworth

The Denver West Health & Rehab Physicians Development Group has proposed a short term nursing facility for the vacant lot at 100 S. Wadsworth.

This long, narrow lot fronts S. Wadsworth from Pickering's Auto Service on Bayaud Ave. to W. Byers Place and the new emergency medical center currently under construction at 260 S. Wadsworth.

The plan would allow for two buildings on the lot, each fronting Wadsworth, with parking in between. Car access would be from Bayaud or Byers.

This is good design, folks. By pushing car access to the rear of the site, it's possible to run an unbroken pedestrian/bike trail along Wadsworth. Pedestrians and bikers will feel safer on account of having building facades to one side, while auto traffic on Wadsworth will be kept flowing by not having cars entering onto the street directly from the new parking lot.
