Project Background
The River District (including this portion of Linden Street) is a piece of what City Plan refers to as the Poudre River Corridor. The River District is described as a “sub-district of downtown” and the “Historic and Cultural Core Segment” of the Poudre River Corridor. The core of the River District near Linden and Willow Streets is significant in its role in the settlement of the City of Fort Collins.
