Colfax Avenue (original) (raw)
Colfax Avenue is the main street that runs east–west through the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado. As U.S. Highway 40, it was one of two principal highways serving Denver before the Interstate Highway System was constructed. In the local street system, it lies 15 blocks north of the zero meridian (Ellsworth Avenue, one block south of 1st Avenue), and would thus otherwise be known as 15th Avenue. The street was named for the 19th-century politician Schuyler Colfax. At just over 50 miles in length, it is known as the "longest continuous commercial street in America."

| dbo:abstract | Colfax Avenue is the main street that runs east–west through the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado. As U.S. Highway 40, it was one of two principal highways serving Denver before the Interstate Highway System was constructed. In the local street system, it lies 15 blocks north of the zero meridian (Ellsworth Avenue, one block south of 1st Avenue), and would thus otherwise be known as 15th Avenue. The street was named for the 19th-century politician Schuyler Colfax. At just over 50 miles in length, it is known as the "longest continuous commercial street in America." From west to east, it starts at Heritage Road in Golden as U.S. Highway 40 and the I-70 Business Loop, and continues east through Lakewood and enters Denver at Sheridan Boulevard. U.S. Highway 287 joins Colfax just west of I-25, and follows Colfax east through Denver and Aurora. In downtown Denver, near the Colorado State Capitol, the designation changes from West Colfax Avenue to East Colfax Avenue at the intersection with Broadway. It continues as East Colfax Avenue for the remainder of the route. In the eastern outskirts of Aurora, Colfax Avenue meets I-70 and the two U.S. highways follow the I-70 route eastward; signage at Picadilly Road and frontage road the frontage road is labeled Colfax Avenue; while appearing to be interrupted at the I-70 and Colfax Avenue interchange; Colfax Avenue has signage in the complex E-470 interchange, appearing as a frontage road of I-70 on most maps; this frontage road starts just west of the Colfax Avenue and I-70 interchange, and at an interchange (I-70 Exit 292), Colfax Avenue becomes State Highway 36 and continues east from Aurora through Bennett to end at Headlight Road in Strasburg. Colfax Avenue cuts through Original Auraria, the city's historic core, and skirts the southern edge of downtown Denver. Because of the dense, mixed-use character of the development along Colfax Avenue, the Regional Transportation District bus route 15 - East Colfax has the highest ridership in the RTD system. In 2006, the first Colorado Colfax Marathon was held, traversing the length of Colfax Avenue through the three cities. It's become legend that Playboy magazine once called Colfax "the longest, wickedest street in America," but attempts to source the actual quote have failed. However, such activities are actually isolated to short stretches of the 26-mile (42 km) length of the street. Periodically, Colfax undergoes redevelopment by the municipalities along its course that bring in new housing, businesses and restaurants. Some say that these new developments detract from the character of Colfax, while others worry that they cause gentrification and bring increased traffic to the area. (en) Colfax Avenue o la Avenida Colfax es la calle principal que recorre el este y el oeste a través del en Colorado. Como la , fue una de las dos principales carreteras de Denver antes de que se construyera el . En el sistema local de calles, se encuentra a 15 cuadras al norte del punto cero (Avenida Ellsworth, a una cuadra al sur de la 1ª Avenida ). Por esta razón, normalmente se conoce como la "15 Avenida". Sin embargo, la calle fue nombrada con el apellido del político del siglo XIX Schuyler Colfax. Al este, la calle pasa a través de la ciudad de Aurora, luego en Denver, y al oeste, a través de Lakewood y la parte meridional de Golden. La Avenida Colfax pasa a través de Aurora, en el centro histórico de la ciudad, y bordea la parte sur del centro de Denver. Debido a la alta densidad, y el uso mixto de desarrollos inmobiliario y comercial a lo largo de la Avenida Colfax, la ruta de autobús 15 - East Colfax del tiene el número más alto de pasajeros en el sistema de la RTD (por sus siglas en inglés). En 2006 se celebró, el primer , a lo largo de toda la Avenida Colfax a través de las tres ciudades. Coloquialmente, la arteria es referida a simplemente como "Colfax", un nombre que se ha asociado con la prostitución y la delincuencia. La revista Playboy antes llamada Colfax "la calle ancha más larga en Estados Unidos". Sin embargo, ese tipo de afirmaciones en realidad son solamente a un corto tramo aislado de 26 millas de longitud de la calle. Periódicamente, la Avenida Colfax es sometida a remodelaciones por los municipios a lo largo de su curso en los que las nuevas viviendas, negocios y restaurantes se encuentran. Algunos dicen que estos nuevos desarrollos denigran el carácter de Colfax, mientras que otros temen que causan gentrificación y aumenta el tráfico de la zona.

Aussi nommée U.S. Route 40, elle était une des deux routes principales de Denver avant l'apparition du système des autoroutes inter-états américaines. Elle se situe le long du 15e bloc d'habitations au nord du point zéro ce qui fait qu'elle devrait normalement se nommée 15e Avenue. Elle fut pourtant nommée Colfax en hommage au politicien Schuyler Colfax. Vers l'Est, elle traverse la ville d'Aurora. À l'Ouest, elle traverse les localités de Lakewood et de Golden. L'artère, une des plus utilisées de la région, est aussi reconnue pour être touchée par la prostitution et la criminalité. Ce phénomène ne touche qu'une petite portion de l'avenue qui s'étend sur plus de 40 km de long. (fr) |
