Re: Program For Mass Transit 1968.

RTD in Denver tries to follow that numbering logic on its bus routes whenever possible.

In Denver's grid systen, streets and boulevards run north-south while roads and avenues run east-west. One exception is Littleton Blvd., which runs east-west. Downtown Denver is laid out on a diagonal grid relative to the rest of the metro area - mainly because the first streets ran parallel to the South Platte River, which comes in from the northeast in a southwesternly direction. At some point, it was decided to go with a north-south grid, but it was too late to change the grid downtown. Numbered streets downtown run northwest-southeast while named streets run northeast-southwest.
