Broadway Station/Former Gates Rubber Factory
The former Gates Rubber plant will be a 40 acre transit-oriented development with 2,500 housing options with at least 250 affordable units. A million square feet of office space, retail space, restaurants and a park are all planned. A pedestrian bridge on Kentucky over the Platte River and railroad will provide better connectivity to the west side. More info on the plan can be found here. |
Pedestrian Improvements at Tejon & Alameda
Neighbors created a pop-up demonstration to show how different traffic-calming measures can help reduce vehicle speeds and make it safer for people to walk and bike along S. Tejon from W. Nevada Pl. to W. Mississippi Ave. Councilman Clark with Mayor Hancock, Councilman Clark, DPS School Board Member Angela Cobian, school leaders, and Public Works agreed to collaborate on a safer crossing. A speed indicator/driver feedback sign was installed to reduce speeding. |
Loretto Heights
(Not in District 7) The former Loretto Heights campus sold. The City worked with the developer, residents and other stakeholders to create a community vision. The adopted plan of the Loretto Heights Area Plan offers a detailed vision crafted from community input, laying out recommendations and policy guidance for land use, getting around, and quality of life over the next twenty years. |
West Area Plan
The West Planning Area is made up of these six neighborhoods: Barnum, Barnum West, Sun Valley, Valverde, Villa Park and West Colfax. The area was selected to lead Phase II of the Neighborhood Planning Initiative because it has some of the oldest neighborhood plans and has experienced rapidly increasing housing costs.
