I don't think there's a ton of routes that terminate at Cherry Creek. In fact, I believe there's none. There are enough routes for transfers, but the majority of those occur at Alameda and Colorado. There has been talk about turning the Speer corridor between Civic Center and Cherry Creek into an transit enhanced corridor (Feasibility Study) with enhanced stops like the Transit Station Stop in Cirrus' chart. RTD seems to be giving this some serious thought, but the question remains- who will pay for the necessary capital improvements? If only there was some sort of plan that the residents of Denver could get behind to pay for some enhanced transit corridors.....
