10th & Osage Station is located in the La Alma-Lincoln Park neighborhood. Immediately across the Osage Street from the station is the Buckhorn Exchange, a Denver landmark and the city's oldest restaurant. Visible to the west of the station, but fenced off from foot traffic, is the Burnham Yard of the Union Pacific Railroad, which was once the railroad's second largest locomotive facility.[5] There are no bus connections from this station.

The station is planned to be relocated south of 10th Avenue and substantially expanded as a part of the construction of New Broncos Stadium. The stadium will be developed over Burnham Yard and will be located immediately west of the new station. It will be accompanied by transit-oriented development. The project is expected to be completed alongside the stadium's opening in 2031.[6]
