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.
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.
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.
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.
