LOHI — El Five lives up to its buzz: The new restaurant, towering over the Lower Highlands on the 5th floor of a nondescript office building – within kissing distance of its sibling restaurant Linger and a mile from another, Root Down – serves artistically rendered and delicious (sometimes curious) tapas that draw upon Mediterranean […]

HUD awards $30 million to City of Denver to revitalize Sun Valley neighborhood

DENVER — U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Principal Deputy Secretary of Public and Indian Housing Lourdes Castro Ramirez announced that the Denver Housing Authority and partners will receive $ 30 million to revitalize the Sun Valley neighborhood during a press conference and tour of the Sun Valley Homes with Mayor Michael Hancock. Earlier this morning, HUD Secretary Julián Castro announced the following communities will receive grants totaling $ 132 million awarded through HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods Initiative:  Denver; Louisville, Kentucky; Boston, Massachusetts; St. Louis; and Camden, New Jersey.

“These game-changing investments will breathe new life into distressed neighborhoods and offer real opportunities for the families who call these communities home,” Castro said. “What we do today will leverage private investment and bear fruit for generations of families looking for an opportunity to thrive in neighborhoods that are connected to the economic and social fabric of their communities.”

“This grant award is a major step in our collective work to improve the lives of residents in the Sun Valley neighborhood,” Mayor Hancock said. “The cycle of poverty that many here are experiencing has gone on for far too long, and it’s time we reverse that trend. The residents of Sun Valley deserve the same access to opportunities that so many others in our city have, and this plan will breathe new life into all of these efforts.”

The Choice Neighborhoods Initiative is part of the Administration’s drive to reinvest in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty by revitalizing distressed federally supported housing into sustainable, mixed-income housing with access to transit, better schools and jobs.

“DHA and the Sun Valley community have worked tirelessly for many years to bring forth this vision for the future of the neighborhood.” Ismael Guerrero, DHA Executive Director stated.  “More than anything, we are enthusiastic about this CNI award because of what it means for the children of Sun Valley.   We will replace the obsolete housing with new and improved housing, and we will make investments in the neighborhood.  And all of that will be with the goal of making Sun Valley a great place for families and a neighborhood where our children reach their full potential.   That is DHA’s commitment to our residents and the community.”

The Housing Authority of the City and County of Denver and the City and County of Denver were awarded a $ 30 million FY2016 Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant for the Sun Valley neighborhood – Sun Valley EcoDistrict. Located just west of downtown Denver, Sun Valley is the lowest-income neighborhood in the city, and the Sun Valley Homes and Sun Valley Annex public housing developments are among the housing authority’s most distressed and isolated sites. Despite these challenges, Sun Valley holds incredible potential, with a new light rail station and significant planned private and public investments. In hopes of capitalizing on this potential, local partners secured a FY2013 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant and created a comprehensive Transformation Plan for Sun Valley. With the award of a Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant, local partners will be able to build 750 new, mixed-income housing units; improve the neighborhood’s landscape by creating new open space and increasing opportunities for local businesses; increase families’ access to quality jobs and education and develop a centralized district energy program to serve the target area.

In recent years, Denver has become among the fastest growing city in the country, balanced by a strong entrepreneurial environment, expanded infrastructure, and a talented workforce. However, due to a disconnected street grid, an abundance of vacant and underutilized land and concentrated poverty, the Sun Valley neighborhood has been isolated from the City’s growth. Eighty-three percent of Sun Valley households live below the poverty line and the neighborhood’s Part I violent crime rate is the highest in the city – 5.6 times the citywide average. Despite these challenges, new investments being made in Sun Valley are laying the groundwork for future growth. The Decatur-Federal Light Rail Station was completed in 2013 and now connects the Sun Valley to downtown and the surrounding region. In the northern part of the neighborhood, the Denver Broncos plan to construct a $ 351 million Entertainment District with retail, commercial and residential developments. Additionally, the City is continuing to invest in the neighborhood’s light industrial area to attract new businesses.

Read a comprehensive summary of each the Choice Neighborhood grants announced today.

Choice Neighborhoods build on the successes of HUD’s HOPE VI Program, linking housing improvements with a wide variety of public services and neighborhood improvements to create neighborhoods of opportunity. With today’s announcement, HUD has awarded more than $ 633 million in Choice Implementation Grants since 2011. Choice Neighborhoods is focused on three core goals:

Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing that is well-managed and responsive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood;

People: Improve educational outcomes and intergenerational mobility for youth with services and supports delivered directly to youth and their families; and

Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families’ choices about their community.

Choice Neighborhoods is HUD’s signature place-based program, which supports innovative and inclusive strategies that bring public and private partners together to help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. The program also encourages collaboration between HUD and the Departments of Education, Justice, Treasury and Health and Human Services to support local solutions for sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with the affordable housing, safe streets and good schools all families need.

New Edgewater civic center will unify city services

EDGEWATER — Colorado’s $ 1 billion marijuana industry has a big impact on municipalities across the state—especially small ones like Edgewater, population 5,300, just across Sheridan Blvd. from Sloan’s Lake. Edgewater’s six retail pot shops net the city $ 1.4 million in tax revenues this year.

Edgewater’s pot revenues have exploded over the past three years, with $ 400,000 in 2014 and $ 800,000 in 2015, according to Edgewater City Manager HJ Stalf. The city has used $ 3 million to repave all 12 miles of its streets and fix many sidewalks as well. “It took Edgewater 50 years to make these infrastructure improvements before marijuana came along,” said Stalf. “The streets had suffered from 20 years of deferred maintenance.”

But the money train could come to a halt if President-elect Donald Trump’s administration actively opposes legalized marijuana laws in Colorado and other states. Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s pick for attorney general if he is approved by the Senate, is an outspoken opponent of legalized marijuana. He is on record saying cannabis is “dangerous” and that “good people don’t smoke marijuana. It is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized.”

Trump said on the campaign trail that he favors states’ rights and would not interfere with legal recreational-use states such as Colorado. But he has wavered on the issue, leading to concern because the lack of a presidential mandate could delegate decisions to Cabinet heads. Gov. John Hickenlooper told The Denver Post regarding Sessions: “It concerns me, what his intentions are and what his focus will be.”

Nationwide, Sessions could impact the $ 7.4 billion marijuana industry. Following the November election, 28 states and Washington D.C. have approved medical or recreational use of cannabis. The federal government may not be able to shut down every marijuana business, but businesses may find themselves battling an activist attorney general.

Meanwhile, Edgewater voters on Nov. 8 approved the construction of a $ 10 million civic center, to be financed entirely with pot tax revenues. The 40,000-square-foot civic center will be built on the north end of Walker Branch Park, on Harlan St. between 16th and 18th avenues. The civic center will include the police station and city hall, as well as a 10,000-square-foot library and a 14,000-square-foot fitness center.

“We can build it even without the marijuana revenue,” said Stalf. “We’re doing well now and we’ll still be okay. With marijuana revenue, we’ll have it paid off in eight or fewer years. But if it goes away, we’ll have to absorb the debt service of $ 750,000 a year, and that will take about 25 years.”

Edgewater plans to break ground for the new civic center in summer of 2017 and have it open in 2018. “Whether we’ll have the marijuana revenue going forward is the great unknown,” said Stalf. “The Feds might be busy with other things, like immigration, and not get to this. Hopefully, we’ll know in six months. We’ll issue the debt on the building next summer, so we hope this will be clarified. We wish for continued marijuana revenue, but that might not necessarily be the outcome.

“In any case, we’ve used the marijuana revenue only for capital projects, not for salaries. So we’ll have those fixed assets going forward. But the loss of that revenue would constrain other improvements in our community, like improving walk-ability. We’ve tried not to get used to the marijuana money, but we’d feel it.”

Colorado’s cannabis industry continues to set revenue records, with sales totaling $ 974.3 million for the first nine months of 2016, compared to $ 733.8 million during the same period last year, according to the Department of Revenue.

Stalf says Colorado’s marijuana industry is likely to level out, even without Federal interference. “With other states legalizing it, the out-of-state influence on our industry will go away. Edgewater will have more competition too if more cities in Jefferson County allow it. Right now many shoppers pass through Edgewater on their way to Golden or Evergreen.”

Edgewater voters approved Amendment 64, Colorado’s 2012 marijuana bill, by 73 percent, compared with 66 percent of Denver voters. Edgewater has experienced very few issues around the new businesses, Stalf said. “It’s been a benign industry; we’ve had few complaints. All the shops submitted business plans; they are well-run small businesses. They take responsibility and they don’t do anything that would jeopardize their license. They don’t take risks in this small community with lots of eyes and ears.”

He said that Edgewater isn’t likely to pass a social pot measure like Denver’s, in which customers may consume their own weed on businesses’ premises. “That idea is not well-received here,” Stalf said. “We just want retail sales, not a leading-edge club scene.”

What Edgewater does want is the new civic center, passed by 81.5 percent of voters. Most needed are the new police station and a library that is ten times bigger than the existing space. “Our police station is a former butcher shop at 25th and Gray,” Stalf said. “It’s an embarrassment. They deserve a modern facility, and they’ve been promised it for fifteen years. We need a place for community activities, and when the library mill levy passed last year, we said ‘Let’s do this.’”

He said that right now city facilities are spread out and “they have all seen better days.” “We have second-floor offices without an elevator that are not ADA compliant. It’s not cost effective to update what we have. Also, some city offices are in prime commercial properties that could be part of the city’s income. It’s better to get them back on the tax rolls as private businesses.”

Edgewater is changing as more young people move in, Stalf said. “Marijuana is a factor, but mostly it’s because we’re 10 minutes from downtown and close to the Highlands. Real estate prices here have doubled in the last three years.”

City seeks community input for “Denveright”

DENVER — On October 4 and 5, the City and County of Denver launched five “Denveright” Community Visioning Workshops welcoming the citizens of Denver “who live, work play and travel through the city.” It is part of a historic and unprecedented effort to inform citywide plans for land use, mobility, parks and recreational resources. The plan aims to provide an in-depth review and retooling of Blueprint Denver (Land Use & Transportation), Game Plan (Parks & Recreation), and Denver Moves (Transit and Pedestrians & Trails) to meet the needs of Denver’s rapid growth. The 18-month process and community conversations will help shape the city for decades to come.

The District 1 visioning session was held at North High School with over 200 attendees chiming in. City officials including Brad Buchanan, the Director of Community Planning and Development and Happy Haynes, in charge of Denver Parks and Recs, along with dozens of city planners who participated in the cross-departmental initiative.

Brad Buchanan outlined the goal, “We are at the beginning of a historic planning process. Normally when the city works on any new planning efforts, we take things on one at a time.” By reviewing all four areas at a high level and their interconnectivity from land use to parks and recreation to transit and pedestrian connections, he reflected, “It is more complex, but we decided that through a coordinated effort the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

Why now? Jay Renkins from MIG, the lead planning and design consultancy working with the city remarked, “Denver has always planned for growth and evolution from the beginning. The population growth increased at a steady rate since 1880. The only time that Denver saw a spike nearing today’s rate of growth was in the 50s and 60s.  The rapid growth of population in the last 5-6 years has created an accelerated rate of change.”

We all feel it. The Denver construction industry boom, traffic jams, parking problems, and the skyrocketing rent. Denver hit the Wall Street Journal with the headline, “Denver Job Market Lures Millennials…the newcomers are fueling the city’s boom, but locals fret over rising rents and lost views.” Renkins reflected, “If we don’t step back and see where we are headed, the very reasons we chose to move here may be compromised.”

To put the mission in context he said, “The last time we did city-wide planning was in 2002. At that time we were planning toward 2020. FasTracks wasn’t even built yet. Apps were just a section in a menu and not something carried in pockets.”

He continued, “With population and job growth we have already exceeded those targets in 2016. We need to respond to the rapid growth. We are living in a different time with new business models, communication ideas, and emerging technologies.”

The questions that we have to answer for our future, “How do we leverage historic and new? How do we ensure access to parks with a strong sense of community? How do we make Denver safer and healthier? How do we ensure that our neighborhoods are unique and diverse? How do we provide great recreational activities?”

He cautioned, “We need to think about families and children and our aging population. We need to be thinking not just about ourselves, but the 700,000 residents moving through their life span, many who want to age in place.” In essence, what you want or desire now may be different in the next 10-20 years, or longer. “It requires creatively and holistically thinking about how we balance all of the City’s needs and prioritize them.”

The Mayor launched a far-reaching initiative this summer. “Denveright” is aimed at coordinating the core planning and development issues that must be redefined in light of the city’s rapid population growth and attendant requirements. By engaging community feedback and demanding cross-departmental collaboration the goal is to find solutions that will enhance Denver and its services for the coming decades.

By engaging community feedback and demanding cross-departmental collaboration the goal is to find solutions that will enhance Denver and its services for the coming decades.

My vision for Denver is:

To ascertain and garner community input the cafeteria was turned into an interactive game show of sorts with a myriad of ways to weigh in. It was unfortunate that the session was so short due to the enormity of innovatively presented information and feedback requested.

Participants were invited to write notes expressing, “My vision for Denver is…”

A unique exhibit was a gigantic floor map with intersections and trails throughout the city that attendees marked with dots to signify dangerous intersections, accessibility between crosswalks and trails, and faulty roads or sidewalks requiring maintenance.

A color-coded transit wheel asked the question, “I would ride the train or bus more often if….” Citizens weighed in on three core issues by selecting colors that created a transit collage around accessibility & affordability, convenience & connections, and amenities & information.

As part of an overhaul of Blueprint Denver, a Neighborhood Planning Initiative (NPI) is underway. The goal is to build neighborhood area plans. By grouping “like-neighborhoods” into a larger area, there will be a streamlined and consistent process common to all plans.

Neighbors had a lot to say about what they believed “like” neighborhoods were when reviewing the proposed neighborhood groupings. Chaffee Park took the largest hit of arched eyebrows as it was combined with Regis, Berkeley, West Highland and Sloan’s Lake. Residents chimed in, “Chafee Park should be grouped with Sunnyside” (due to proximity and common services or amenities.)  In theory, the community’s input will be considered as part of this process.

Community Listening Session:

The evening ended with a “listening session” to gather direct comments that effect residents. Comments abounded.

• On Services: “The residential density has increased by 100% near 38th & Tennyson, yet the fire station hasn’t gotten any better. How are city services, more than just sewers and pavements being addressed?”

• On Transit: “We need more circulator routes in NW Denver that go through the community on busy thoroughfares like Tennyson or Lowell that are crowded with traffic. Is RTD partnering in this initiative?”

• On Construction: “We need to identify best practice of construction. Poor management of construction is running rampant with scrapes and new builds. Muds and contaminants are going into the sewer drains that go into our lakes and rivers.  There need to be policies to enforce the issue.”

• On Zoning: “Rampant permitting for buildings and additions means that bungalows are getting swallowed in darkness.”

• On Developers: “There is no respect for native plants and trees. Developers need to get educated and work hand-in-hand with the community to respect that. It can’t just be for money.”

• On Lakes: “Sloan’s Lake depth is getting shallower every year and threatens to become a swamp if it is not addressed.” The frustration that millions were spent on a Sloan’s Lake analysis that went nowhere has left many baffled.

• On Trash: “The amount of litter and trash on the streets and sidewalks has increased significantly. We need more trash cans and to have them emptied more often. We need a campaign to clean up and educate where trash goes. Otherwise, the sewer run-offs will kill birds and wildlife.”

• On Complaints: “The amount of styrofoam coming off of buildings means death for aquatic life. Who do you call to complain? There needs to be an easier way for people to voice our concerns.”

• On Minority Communication: “This city is over 45% minorities. This plan matters for people in Globeville, Swansea, and Elyria. We need an opportunity to bring everyone in the city together, not just the privileged ones. There must be options of how to communicate and reach out to these communities.”

• On Sustainability: “I’m surprised to see so few sustainability issues were raised in the City plans, aside from Parks & Recreation addressing climate change. I am still flabbergasted that my apartment doesn’t recycle.”

• On Green Living: “Why do we only have box homes? For 10K more there could be a green roof on top. The investment will come back quickly for those that do.”

• On ADA Access: “The Millennium Bridge over I-25 doesn’t have ADA access, and the elevator is broken half the time. Whoever designed that? What were they thinking?” and “Sidewalk connectivity must be in place. Wheelchairs are weaving in and out of traffic.”

• On Government: “Every once in awhile the city asks for input, but they do what they want to do anyway. What I want to see is an ongoing community outreach to talk about the kind of city we like and want.”

• On Taxes: “OK everyone, we need to raise our taxes to pay for this stuff. If you want to live in a beautiful, great city.”

Rafael Espinoza’s staunch support for developing neighborhood plans, righting the wrongs of past city zoning, and preserving historic properties made this community visioning session something he takes to heart. In conclusion, he said, “I am going to advocate for more specific plans and prescriptive language. There must be a zoning process that is met with heavier criteria so that decision making for areas of stability and areas of change are not treated the same. The new plan should have some teeth that reflect the hard work and efforts going on in this room.”

AT&T Awards $250,000 to City Year Denver to Support Student Success

NORTH DENVER — On October 18 North High School welcomed Mayor Michael Hancock and City Year Denver’s Vice President & Executive Director, Morris Price to the podium for a prestigious $ 250,000 award grant from AT&T to help support student success at North and Manual High Schools.

Due to City Year Denver’s success supporting and motivating underserved students to stay in school and prepare for their next step in life, it has been selected as one of 18 recipients nationwide that will share in $ 10 million from AT&T through the Aspire Connect to Success Competition.  Hundreds of organizations applied to the competition that is part of AT&T Aspire. It is the powerhouse communication brand’s philanthropic initiative to help students succeed in school and beyond.

Funding recipients deliver integrated student supports, focus on college or career preparation, and provide mentoring or peer-to-peer supports to help underserved students graduate. This funding will support 9-12 grade students in two high-poverty high schools in Denver, North and Manual. The most at-risk students will receive individualized, case-managed services through City Year’s Whole School Whole Child program model, assisting them to graduate high school on time and be prepared for success in college and the workforce.

During the 2016-2017 school year, 72 City Year Denver AmeriCorps members will serve full time alongside teachers in nine Denver Public Schools. The Corp members provide high impact student, classroom and school-wide supports to help students stay in school and on track to graduate from high school, ready for college and career success.

Hancock reflected through his lens of history, “DPS holds a special place in my heart. Coming here today makes me miss high school. Man, I miss that…I remember those days. They were the greatest days of our lives. But, for some, it is the end of the line. They don’t get a chance to cross the finish line. While graduation rates continue to rise in Denver, we have more work to do to prepare our students for college and beyond. “We need to make sure they are on track by 10th grade to ensure success in their educational journey.” One way to help is by “connecting them with healthy, productive adult relationships as they matriculate throughout high school.” With City Year’s presence, he said they have helped lift students on their shoulders.

Mayor Hancock enthused, “I want to thank AT&T for the generous gift of $ 250,000 at North High School and Manual. With the support of efforts like AT&T Aspire, we can continue to nurture programs like City Year Denver and the one-on-one attention they provide while utilizing innovative solutions to providing after-school and in-class support for our students.”

During City Year’s five-year partnership in Denver, the graduation rate at North High School went from 47% to more than 75%. The rates continue to climb, and programs like these are an embedded part of the school’s continuing rise.

Principal Scott Wolf believes that City Year is part of the reason. “I started teaching 13 years ago in San Jose, California. I had a City Year Corp member in my classroom. They provided huge support. It is now my 4th year at North High School and I’ve had the privilege to continue partnering with City Year. In fact, my whole education experience has been with City Year as a partner. Without them, we wouldn’t have the same level of successes we are enjoying today.  I’m excited about the leadership Morris Price provides in Denver and so thankful for all of his support.”

Price, with his warm smile and enthusiasm, a trait that is shared with his City Year team, is solidly rooted in planting the seeds for success for today and all future generations. He said, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.”  He thanked Hancock for his “leadership and vision that has welcomed City Corp members to the hallways, classrooms and playgrounds of schools throughout Denver.” He also said, “City Year Denver is grateful to AT&T for their generous investment in our program. We greatly appreciate their efforts to connect underserved high school students with success through their Aspire Connect to Success competition and other initiatives.”

One City Corp member, McKenna spoke for the team, “ I am lucky to serve in a 9th-grade English classroom. We attend 5-6 classes per day and are an extra tool for the teachers, as well as greeting students in the morning, and providing homework help before and after school. The classrooms are packed, the halls are noisy and homework is crumbled into backpacks, but we work to bring students the potential that they deserve. I am one of 72 members who are catalyzing change and empowering our young people to be their very best.”

Hancock agreed. “I have been here on opening day at North. City Year members enthusiastically welcomed students coming through the door. We must continue to increase the positive contact and form solid, healthy relationships with adults who are willing to give of themselves for a year. You will touch a young person you may not know. That’s the power. You may be advancing the next Hilary Clinton, Barak Obama, the next Mayor, the next CEO, the next lead engineer, because you infused a moment of hope in these students!”

Roberta Robinette, President, AT&T Colorado presented the check to the team with great enthusiasm. “We are very thrilled to be here today. In 2008 AT&T launched its signature initiative philanthropic program. Our goal is to drive innovation in education. Through Aspire, we’ve passed the $ 250 million mark on our plan to invest $ 350 Million in education from 2008-2017.”

With that impressive statistic for education partnership, she invited the Mayor, Mr. Price and the City Year AmeriCorps team to come up and enjoy the fruits of their labor, and ongoing support for the students of North and Manual High School. A+ goes to AT&T.

City of Denver

The City of Denver is the most populated city of the United States of America and serves as the capital of the American state of Colorado. Denver has always been reputed as famous place to go wild in order to celebrate. Denver is a consolidated uniquely as a city-county, located in the South Platte River Valley on the American High Plains, just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains which provide it with an excellent geographic position as Denver basically developed as a mining town in its early days. The Denver’s most favorite area downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River.
