29th & Welton station was an RTD light rail station in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, United States. Formerly operating as part of the D Line, the station was opened on October 8, 1994, and was operated by the Regional Transportation District.[2][3]
The station closed on January 6, 2013, as part of RTD's January Service Changes to help with keeping trains running on time and improving bus connections at the 30th & Downing station.[4] The RTD Board of Directors voted in October 2013 to not demolish the station in light of ongoing studies of the Welton Street corridor.[5] The January 14, 2018 service changes introduced the L Line, which now passes through this station in place of the D Line.[6]
