Dear registered neighborhood organization and representatives –
The City and County of Denver has released a set of five
plans to guide Denver’s growth and its impact on development, parks, mobility
options and more over the next 20 years. These community-driven plans are the
result of two years of listening and engaging through the Denveright
process – with input from your neighborhood and thousands of residents citywide
– and encapsulates the community’s vision and expectations for a more
inclusive, connected and healthy city.
The plan drafts are available for your review and feedback
now! They are:
·
Comprehensive Plan 2040 – An overall 20-year vision and
goals
·
Blueprint Denver – An integrated land use and transportation
plan
·
Game Plan for a Healthy City – A
parks and recreation plan
·
Denver Moves: Transit – A first-ever local transit plan
·
Denver Moves: Pedestrians and
Trails – A
sidewalks, street crossings and trails plan
I invite you and your RNO neighbors to learn more about the
plans and take a 5-minute survey on key concepts at denvergov.org/denveright.
Next Steps
The plans are available for public review and comment
through October 31. You can review any plan online and take a detailed survey
to provide your feedback.
The city will host a Denveright community night on August
28, 2018, 5:30 p.m., at City Park Pavilion where anyone may learn more
about the plans. City planners will also host office hours in several locations
beginning in September.
After October 31, the draft plans will be revised based on
input received. Then, in early 2019, Denver City Council will review plans that
require council adoption.
These plans will help us preserve Denver’s character,
culture and community. I thank you for your input thus far, and I look forward
to seeing these plans to completion and seeing their great concepts implemented
in the short-term and for years to come.
Respectfully,
Michael B. Hancock
Mayor
