Location

30th & Downing station (sometimes styled as 30th•Downing) is a RTD light rail station in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, United States. Originally operating as part of the D Line, the station was opened on October 8, 1994, and is operated by the Regional Transportation District.[3][4] The January 14, 2018, service changes introduced the L Line, which replaced the D Line.[5] It is the current northern terminus of the L Line.[6]

The L Line narrows to a single track just southwest of the station and remains a single track past 25th & Welton. Departing southbound trains cannot leave the station until a northbound train has arrived at the opposite platform. FasTracks provisions for the line to be extended eight blocks north along Downing Street to 38th & Blake, where it would terminate at the A Line and provide a connection to Denver International Airport. As of 2026, there is no estimated completion date for this extension.[7]
