B1 Pedestrian tunnel

There is no access to the station from the neighborhood immediately to its west. All passengers wishing to use the station must come from South Monaco Parkway, via a pedestrian tunnel under Interstate 25.

Public art

The station featured a (now deactivated) interactive piece of public art entitled Harmonic Pass: Denver.[6] Created by Christopher Janney, it features a mixture of light and sound throughout the pedestrian tunnel. Within each column are photoelectric sensors and an audio speaker. Also, a riddle is etched on plaques on both ends of the tunnel. If a person can decipher the riddle and trigger the columns in the pattern described, the tunnel will “dance” a pattern of light and sound in reply.[6]
