Define Your Denver
Danger: REPORT Feb. 8, 2022
Population: 15046
transportation housing diversity elderly environment
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is historically middle class. More white than other races but accepting of different backgrounds and financial backgrounds than our bookend neighbors to the north (park hill) and south (crestmoor, hilltop).
Community Activities and Services
My community is a proud mix of homeowners and renters. We have single family homes and apartment complexes. We have older folks and a newer contingent of families with children. We also have the new 9CO development which drawers younger, less attached folks and older, freer couples. We enjoy the fairly urban lifestyle that places like Colfax Ave and Colorado Blvd provide and being and able to walk and bike many places around the city while still having a little separation from the hustle and bustle. Shopping is available along those major corridors as well as a few neighborhood commercial areas on each end of the neighborhood. We like our local parks (like Lindsley) and city park.
Economic or Environmental Interests
A major flood corridor goes through our neighborhood, so dealing with that through the ongoing P2P projects are important.
Community Needs and Concerns
Hale needs more cultural identity. Places like 9Co and the revitalizing Colfax corridor help, but often we are looked over for neighborhoods that have a stronger cultural identity.

The Lowry community is young yet it has an identity of its own. It used to be an air base, so it still maintains a bit of that culture.
Community Activities and Services
My community consists mostly of the neighboring families that go to the same school as our son.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Denver is affected by the seasonality of the water charge in the mountains. We believe that with the changing climate, growth of the city in a planned fashion is crucial.
Community Needs and Concerns
We live close to the city of Aurora, and our house is just at the border of our neighborhood. There has been an increase in crime in the past years and we would like to feel safer again.

Community Needs and Concerns
There is a big homelessness challenge in my neighborhood that needs to be addressed. It is unsafe for me to walk my dog in certain areas due to trash (food, wrappers, drugs) on the ground.

Northside - Jefferson Park community
Define Your Denver
Danger: REPORT Dec. 10, 2021
Population: 3205
transportation housing diversity
Cultural or Historical Interests
The neighborhood is historically made up of mostly Hispanic and Latino/a residents, although this number is sadly decreasing due to gentrification and the rapid redevelopment of the neighborhood (slot homes to the south of Jefferson Park, apartments and renovations to the north). The strong ties to the Hispanic and Latino community is a benefit to the community and a number of businesses and environments have Spanish speaking residents and workers. New primarily white residents buying/renting property in the area are typically young (20s and 30s) while Hispanic and Latino residents tend to be older (age 40+) with families or long-time residents.
Community Activities and Services
My community spends a lot of time outdoors at the parks in the neighborhood, including Jefferson Park, Highland Park, and Viking Park, and on weekends in the fall the neighborhood fills with Broncos fans there for the nearby stadium. The neighborhood hosts one of the few grocery stores in the area so the Safeway is a central point of activity and a great place to access groceries, supplies, and medications. Transportation services are close by on Federal Blvd., which is where most transit riders access these services and nearby North High School and Valdez Elementary host lots of the area's students.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is near the Platte River (and river trail), I-25, the Broncos Stadium and Downtown Denver. There is some commercial activity within the community but the proximity to nearby commercial areas in other neighborhoods and easy access to I-25 and Downtown seems to be a big draw for new residents who work or spend time outside of the community.
Community Needs and Concerns
The community is changing and much of its history (i.e., the Chicano Rights Movement) and its residents are being edged out by new upscale development and an influx of young, affluent residents. The community needs representation that will balance the changes with historic residents' interests to help ensure that there is an opportunity and cultural basis for Hispanic and Latino as well as low- to moderate-income families and residents to stay in place. The community Map drawers should also know that residents north of W 26th Ave encompass many different socio-economic and demographic backgrounds and this part of the community feels noticeably different/separate from areas south of 26th

We also enjoy ReZened to find fun recycled clothing options.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Economically we need to walk the fine line of keeping the neighborhood vibrant with employment opportunities, cultural opportunities, better education options (too many kids leave the neighborhood for school) and the line of giving back to those less fortunate.
Community Needs and Concerns
Lack of Commercial options for the mom and pop venues, grocery options, schools that are not ranked the lowest in DPS--and to be clear--new structures do not make better schools. Involved parents and educators make better schools.

Virginia Village

Danger: REPORT Nov. 29, 2021
Population: 70164
transportation housing healthcare education affordable
Cultural or Historical Interests
This community is mostly white and includes a large Jewish American population, particularly in it's more affluent, suburban northern and eastern quadrants. The western portion of the neighborhood is occupied by high-density rental units that are home to lower-income residents and has a significant Black and Latin American population.
Community Activities and Services
Virginia Village includes Ellis Elementary School, Montessori School of Denver, Virginia Village Branch Library, Cook Park Recreation Center, Light of the Nations Church, Denver Christian Bible Church, Salem United Church of Christ, Holly Street Church of Christ, Potter's House Christian Center, Cook Park, and Ash Grove Park. It's main streets include South Colorado Boulevard, South Holly Street, South Monaco Street, South Quebec Street, East Florida Avenue, and East Evans Avenue. It is anchored by the Virginia Village Square stores on South Holly and East Florida. Interstate 25 runs nearby and is easily accessible via Evans and Colorado.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The northern bord or of Virginia Village is marked by the Cherry Creek River and bicycle trail. This trail provides residents with access to the natural environment but is prone to flooding at certain times of the year. There are convenient stores and gas stations, barber shops and hair salons, restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a few retail stores in the neighborhood that may employ some residents, but I suspect that most residents work outside of the neighborhood, as it is conveniently located near Interstate 25 and the RTD light rail station at Colorado Boulevard.
Community Needs and Concerns
Virginia Village is currently in the 6th CD, but I could see it fitting well within the 10th CD (to the west) or the 5th CD (to the norht). It is probably too large and too urban for the 4th CD (to the south).

The Montbello High School campus and Montbello Central Park are the heart and soul of the neighborhood and must stay together.
Economic or Environmental Interests
We need access to workforce centers, education and technical training opportunities, environmental justice is a huge issue as the Montbello community is next to a former superfund site.
Community Needs and Concerns
we must keep Montbello Central Park and the Montbello High School campus together and not split it. Social services, access to resources and cultural ties make it necessary to try and limit the splits of historic neighborhoods of color.

The community, GVR, is lacking positive support for teens. There are no (or few?) teen specific establishments that support positive influences for teens. The Rec Center may be an option, but it is not open on weekends. No outlet for teens. Absolutely no historic, art or cultural interests that I know of.
Community Activities and Services
My community, Green Valley Ranch, is one of the fastest growing in the Denver Metro Area. The community is lacking health and wellness services (1 small gym and 1 small rec center), access to major grocery store(s) (only 1 small King Soopers, 1 small Natural Grocer), access to shopping areas (no major retail) and healthy dining choices (mostly fast food). Sprouts is slated to open later this year as well as Costco, which requires a membership. This community needs a bigger major grocery store, like another King Soopers or Safeway, to service the area.

Cultural or Historical Interests
Preserving the political power of the latino/a population in west Denver is critical as the city looks at ways to grow housing and slow down gentrification. Particularly in southwest Denver which regularly gets cracked into multiple districts and right now is divided into 3 different districts. Southwest Denver has yet to experience the scale of gentrification the westside north of 6th Ave. has, but that could change drastically this next decade if the city does not act aggressively.
Community Activities and Services
I would like to see a map that considers keeping the considerable LGBT population in Capitol Hill and North Capitol Hill/Uptown in one district. Downtown Denver is home to a substantial LGBT population and our communities smaller numbers elsewhere in the city and state means there are no political districts at any level currently in which we can vote as a larger community of interest.

Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is located near a creek, with easy access to/from my neighborhood. It is important to us to keep it clean and safe for everyone near that creek and trail that runs by it. I would also like to say that it appears my community used to be more affordable housing-wise, which has lead to its nice diversity. Nowadays the only people moving in are richer white people, it seems.
Community Needs and Concerns
My community has a significant amount of apartments/multi-family homes nearby, but this seems to be mostly in Glendale, rather than Denver. [It makes no sense to me that a separate city exists within my city (Denver.) We should all be one.] In any case, I have noticed that the frequently-used bus stops near these apartments lack seating/shade. It is obviously also important right now that we all keep each other safe from transmitting COVID. I am glad I live in Denver where the mandates about masking are progressive. It has become apparent that when left to their own devices individuals act for themselves, not for the good of the community, which is where government needs to step in.

I would like to see more multi-story units that people can own to build equity, and that they be units that 1. are big enough for families and 2. are well-constructed for living with attention paid to things like sound-proofing and garden areas for residents of all ages to enjoy.

Community Activities and Services
The neighborhood where I live includes both the Gulch two blocks south of me and the lake two blocks north. Everyone along Colfax between Sheridan and Meade has a similar sense of their proximity to the Ave, the lake, and the gulch. I move through the neighborhood by either biking along 17th or through the gulch down to the S Platte
Economic or Environmental Interests
It's important that W Colfax Ave is kept together because new businesses, developments, and changes to bussing and transit through the corridor are shared experiences that make Colfax a vibrant place. I walk up and down the Ave to access shops I like, go to movies and restaurants, and catch the bus or get off the bus. If a block of Colfax a dozen blocks away gets revitalized or gets a new business, I would patronize that business too. And the more our part of town grows, the less of a distance I want to travel to go to a quality establishment or business.
Community Needs and Concerns
We need changes to Colfax Ave to make it safer to cross the street, to slow traffic, and to make the bus faster. It's awesome that the bus comes so often, but it takes me 30 minutes by bus to get to my work, versus 15 minutes on a bike and 10-15 minutes in a private vehicle. People in my neighborhood cross Colfax all day every day and in my stretch of the woods it's very unsafe and difficult to do.

i think the progressive creative community, not wealthy but still sometimes gentrifiers, in south-central Denver has integrity; Baker has lost its Latino majority over the last 20 years, but there is still a sense of Latino history and some remembrance of the traditional Westside; Baker became an important LGBTQ enclave in the 80s and 90s; while that community integrates with society much better now, this heritage is still reflected among the residents and businesses in the area
Community Activities and Services
my neighborhood is nominally Baker, but is really the residential core of the statistical neighborhood; south of Alameda is not connected; Broadway is another focus for my community — residents on both sides have a common interest for the vitality and to some extent against the over-commercialization of Broadway
Economic or Environmental Interests
our community is cut off from the Platte River by the highway, the railroad and by the historical expulsion of residents from the west side of Baker in favor of industrial uses; one of the primary economic issues is that rising property values and rents are displacing long-term residents
Community Needs and Concerns
this is a part of the city where a lot of people know each other, and help each other out; crime often comes from people from other neighborhoods seeking "easy prey"; there is a significant unsheltered homeless population in the area, and they are not mostly the ones forming group campsites — they are often solitary, sleeping in alleys, river banks or in vehicles

Cultural or Historical Interests
With the redevelopment of Loretto Heights, for which the neighborhood is named, it makes more sense to have College View represented under one council district, #2, since right now, Federal Blvd. is the dividing line between #2 and #7 and CV will be directly affected by new roadways and other redevelopment pressures from Loretto Heights. Historically, after annexation and partly up through Ted Hackworth's time on council, College View was in City Council District #2. In addition, most CV students attend schools, such as Kunsmiller and Lincoln, that are also in District #2.
Community Activities and Services
College View utilizes libraries and larger shopping centers, such as Bear Valley, that are located in Council District #2. We also shop in Englewood or along Federal Blvd. The neighborhood has more ties to Council District #2 than #7 historically.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Speeding on South Federal has been an issue and pedestrian improvements south of Vassar have yet to be seen. The neighborhood should not be separated from the rest of SW Denver by two council districts (between #2 and #7). The area has more in common with the rest of these annexed areas west of Federal than the older communities of south Denver found east of Broadway.
Community Needs and Concerns
College View continues to need advocates that will keep the area intact and focus on innovative economic opportunities for the working class, such as green house farming, truck farming and growing produce for the rest of the city. There is a lot of empty land that remains open in College View that could once again be converted to farming even though our agricultural water rights and ditches have been removed from their historic connection to Loretto Heights.

Cultural or Historical Interests
My community of College View draws its name from the existence of the former Loretto Heights College that is now under redevelopment. When College View School opened in 1939, the tower of Loretto Heights, built in 1892, was the dominant feature that was viewable from the elementary school--hence College View School. The topography of the neighborhood, which includes sloping hills and high points, meant that until the later 20th century, the Loretto tower was visible from all over College View.
Community Activities and Services
My community still remains partly tied to its once rural agricultural past. With large lots and ample open acreage, the College View community remains a unique appendage of Denver that was annexed to the city in 1962. We are a community set apart in many ways from nearby subdivisions since you can still see farm animals and large active vegetable and farming plots in existence in College View.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The College View boundaries now include the section of Denver that is adjacent to the Platte River. This area was attached to the neighborhood more recently and has no historical connection. However, more recently, the city of Denver and city of Englewood have completed bicycle and pedestrian connections via the Harvard Gulch West Trail that now connects College View (and Scenic View in Englewood) to the Platte River. College View historically was tied more to services in downtown Englewood but with growth of businesses along Federal and Evans, many residents do shop there (such as the King Soopers) and at the Brentwood Center.
Community Needs and Concerns
For College View, I feel that close-in economic development opportunities and incentives are being missed that would tie into the community's historic ties to agriculture and truck farming. With all of the land available in College View being turned into houses that are crammed into existing lots, could a focus on greenhouse gardening and sustainable urban agriculture instead be once again common in this area of Denver?

Cultural or Historical Interests
The west side (west of I-25 and South Platte River) have large Hispanic/Latino populations that deserve to be represented by people within this community. The ethnic and cultural makeup of areas north of Sloan's Lake (whiter, wealthier, and gentrified) are different from the cultural interests of communities south of Sloan's Lake (more diverse and rapidly gentrifying).
Economic or Environmental Interests
Homelessness is a growing problem on the West Side - not only with people sleeping in Lakewood/Dry Gulch and other parks, but also in vehicles on the street and with family and friends. The lack of affordable housing being built is pushing longtime residents out.
Community Needs and Concerns
Many people on the West Side rely on public transportation to access groceries, services, and work, but these areas have poor transit service (infrequent, unreliable, and getting worse) along Federal Blvd., Sheridan Blvd., Alameda Blvd., Colfax Ave., and within neighborhoods.

The public schools in my community are lacking in updated facilities. As are the public libraries. There is a concern about affordable housing in my community as gentrification proceeds out from the city.

Danger: REPORT Aug. 2, 2021
parks LGBT+ historical high income bicycles
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community has more historic districts than the rest of the city. It is one of the oldest parts of the City. There is great shopping in Cherry Creek. The area is a treasure for its charm, mature landscaping and proximity to downtown.
Community Needs and Concerns
The community is experiencing great densification. Transportation is an issue. Streets should not be widened nor should mature landscaping be removed. There have been numerous transportation plans in the last 20 years but littl to no implementation.

Athmar Park

Danger: REPORT Aug. 2, 2021
transportation housing diversity environment affordable
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is made up of diverse residents in Southwest Denver, including Hispanic/Latinx neighbors that have been in the area for generations, as well as multi-cultural business owners along Federal and Alameda (e.g. Mexican, Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants, markets, auto-body shops, dentists, doctors, etc.). My neighbors speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. There are many children and young people in my neighborhood.
Community Activities and Services
My community includes fellow neighbors and residents of Athmar Park. We gather at Huston Lake Park for outdoor events like yoga and zumba and at the Athmar Park Branch Library for our Athmar Park Community Market. I think we also have strong ties to nearby neighborhoods like Westwood, Ruby Hill and Valverde.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is near the South Platte River and Huston Lake. Water quality, invasive species, and air quality are all environmental concerns. There are also some people experiencing homelessness who live in and around the neighborhood, including in mobile situations like RVs. As a result, waste and health/safety are concerns, especially in parks like Aspgren and Huston Lake. Other concerns include speeding vehicles and lack of safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Community Needs and Concerns
Athmar Park is a quickly gentrifying neighborhood with home prices increasing rapidly and many young, white families moving in. It feels important to preserve Athmar's original character, demographic make up, culture and language in the face of gentrification and displacement. At the time time (and perhaps somewhat contradictory to my previous statement), it would be great if Athmar could become better connected to our adjacent neighborhoods like Baker and South Broadway to our east. I know it is tricky with I-25, Santa Fe and other major roads, but having access to those amenities (shops, grocery stores, light rail stations, etc.) would be great, especially via bike and walking.

Community Activities and Services
Living off Quincy and Wads. My community is all Jeffco related. All the parks we visit are Jeffco parks. All the family activities we participate in are Jeffco. All the libraries we visit are in Jeffco. We have no real tie to The city and county of Denver other than some taxes getting paid. For instance, this survey. I had to remind myself that I am able to fill this out because, technically, I live in Denver. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVe Denver! Born and raised in Fort Collins, Denver was (and still is) my absolutely place to visit.
