Water is one of our most important future public issues. You will: (1) learn about water in Colorado and climate change’s impact; (2) explore Denver Water’s role and responsibilities in providing a safe, reliable water supply to 1.5 million people; (3) learn wise water use behaviors, and (4) learn how major municipal water providers across the Colorado River basin will need to commit to significant water reductions in water use.

This planning project will explore which infrastructure improvements will make it safer and more convenient to walk, bicycle, take transit, deliver goods, and drive in and around the Cherry Creek area. Also being studied are green infrastructure, parking, curbside uses and wayfinding in Cherry Creek. The results of this project will inform how Denver funds, designs, builds, and maintains the future multimodal transportation network of the entire Cherry Creek Area, including whether and how 1st Avenue will be redeveloped with safer pedestrian access.

All services of the program are free to the public.

 

Partnership. If passed, the Denver Deserves Sidewalks program would be funded by a modest annual fee charged to property owners.
