Wow, no! Big box right next to senior living? Nope.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:18PM on page 126

Yes, this is true. It is also the reason many of us moved here, and we understand and accept the need to drive.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:17PM on page 126

Do not want this area to be upzoned to commercial. Any changes to this area should be subject to community consultation before changing.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:16PM on page 126

Disagree. This is affordable housing and should NOT be turned into retail or commercial. This would contradict the affordable housing efforts.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:12PM on page 61

Yes to community feedback!

Bike network in Ft. Logan south of Quincy needs to connect more easily to the Bear Creek trail through F. Logan

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:03PM on page 34

Ft. Logan South is primarily well established single family homes of various sizes. People live here for the suburban nature of the neighborhood and this should be preserved.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 6:02PM on page 34

Along Lowell Blvd in Ft Logan South are some income restricted housing, townhouses and duplexes. These should be retained as an area of housing affordability.

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 5:57PM on page 32

I hope we don’t get a lot more drive thrus, but where else would you put them except along the corridors of Sheridan and Wadsworth? Certainly not in the neighborhoods!

SueS Oct 11 2025 at 5:53PM on page 31

Agree that the focused growth areas should be along the existing corridors.

Question
Is there potential for, or will this include, bringing the gulch back above ground so it's more like Sanderson Gulch or Bear Creek?

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:53PM on page 107

Suggestion
The existing Federal Blvd pedestrian crossing in front of All Saints Cathedral is a very important connection. It could be improved (or this new proposed crossing can replace it) to be more like the Federal crossing of the Sanderson Gulch Trail with better striping and push buttons much farther away from the road.

There will be a new farmer's market on the park at Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy starting in 2026.

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:49PM on page 106

Suggestion
I live in Harvey Park and I like the character of the ranch style homes. There was even a new ranch that was built in the last 5 year that fits in with the original houses. It's still a reasonably sized home because it has a basement and a detached garage.
However, we saw a new modern style mini mansion go in on Yale this year that looks so out of place. I support new home building but I would like to put in place requirements that encourage new homes to fit in, unlike what we've seen in other Denver neighborhoods (specifically, giant 2-3 story single family homes or duplexes that shroud the original ranches or cottages).

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:39PM on page 103

Suggestion
There are two private HOA-only lakes in west Harvey Park. At least one of them has a playground and tennis courts. I would like to see an effort to open this up to all the homes in the area because it would be wasteful to create new public amenities in this area when they already exist.

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:36PM on page 21

Strongly agree with F-L3. Federal Blvd is not attractive to visit as a pedestrian. But the reality is that it's mostly local businesses. I think we could improve the built environment to make it a friendly place for pedestrians and actually improve the business outcomes and attract new businesses too.

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:33PM on page 20

I live in Harvey Park and I support denser housing in the Far Southwest. I don't think residents realize that one of the reasons we don't have as many amenities as other neighborhoods is because of the low density. Not everyone needs to own a single family home.

arogers40 Oct 3 2025 at 8:29PM on page 17

I live in Harvey Park and I'm grateful for the thought and intentions that went into this!

arogers40 Oct 2 2025 at 5:00PM on page 31

Suggestion
Please no more car-focused anything. This only encourages people to drive and will make traffic and congestion worse and prevent improvement for people trying to reverse that by biking, walking and taking transit.

arogers40 Oct 2 2025 at 4:57PM on page 31

Suggestion
I don't think there should be a maximum building height.

arogers40 Oct 2 2025 at 4:49PM on page 19

Love these recommendations!

arogers40 Oct 2 2025 at 4:47PM on page 18

I live in Harvey Park and we are so isolated from services due to the large neighborhoods with no business zoning. It is typically over a mile for most people to walk to something that isn't just houses. This area is missing the charm of places like S Pearl St.
Business quality is mixed both on Federal and Sheridan with some doctors, services and restaurants/carts but a lot of uninviting chains like Autozone.

Suggestion
Would love to see mention or acknowledgement of any buildings or sites with cultural or historic significance to broader ethnic and socioeconomic civilian groups in area. This is an opportunity for the city to identify potential sites for recognition or protection that have been overlooked. An example is a block of houses near the Evans Station that is a unique masonry townhouse style dating back near the 1920s.

ECab Oct 1 2025 at 10:29AM on page 37

Suggestion
City sould prioritize Industrial site development that integrate relevant strategies from the Living Building or Living Community Challenge(s), or LEED (e.g. Neighborhood Development, Operations & Maintenance, or Interior Design & Construction). Integrating these strategies would not only improve building/site performance in relation to L6 goals, particularly supporting a range of education and skill levels; it would also be an innovative venture for the region.

ECab Oct 1 2025 at 10:14AM on page 31

Suggestion
5 stories is too high, even for mixed-use buildings where the ground floor may be commercial with residential above it. The value added by increasing density would be at the expense of quality of life for building residents as well as passersby. There should be a correlation between building square footage and free, publicly accessible lobby/rooftop/plaza space. 3 stories is in keeping with the culture of the area and should be maintained as the maximum.

cwooden Sep 5 2025 at 2:19PM on page 31

Question
Why 5 stories? That seems high. I wish the max height was 3 stories. 5 stories blocks view and creates too much traffic on the road.
