38th & Blake is a Regional Transportation District (RTD) commuter rail station on the A Line in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The station is the first eastbound station from Union Station in Downtown Denver and sixth westbound from Denver International Airport. About four minutes from Union Station and thirty-three minutes from Denver Airport.
38th & Blake station is also served by several TheRide bus routes and has a 200-space park-and-ride lot, connected via a pedestrian bridge over freight rail lines.[1]
The station opened on April 22, 2016, along with the rest of the A Line.[2]
38th & Blake station is planned to be the centerpiece to a new, transit-oriented neighborhood that would replace existing industrial buildings with mixed-use buildings for residences, offices and retail.[3][4] It is also proposed as the northern terminus of the L Line, a proposed light rail line extending the existing D Line on Downing Street.[5]
