Suggestion
Along both sides of the rail line it can get very loud when freight trains go by. Additional sound barriers matching the new sound barriers near the jewell bike overpass would be a welcome addition and would go a long way to enhancing the area around the station and the neighborhood.

Kyle Fleming Nov 4 2025 at 12:53PM on page 152

Suggestion
I would really like to see this increase from duplexes to triplexes/quadplexes especially near the Evans light rail station on both sides of santa fe to promote density near transit. I would like to see even more upzoning in the direct vicinity of the station to allow for higher density that is walkable to the light rail.

Question
Does a nieghborhood bikeway qualify for traffic mitigation such as speed cushions, raised crosswalks, additonal stop signs, traffic diverters, and pedestrian signage?

Caitlin Eggimann Nov 3 2025 at 10:54AM on page 163

Suggestion
Need more seated areas and outdoor space to cultivate gatherings and communal spaces. Need a coffee shop or brewery with seating areas as well to assist with gatherings and business.

Caitlin Eggimann Nov 3 2025 at 10:52AM on page 164

Suggestion
I agree that signage and 'Litter' education as stated in other comments needs to be incorporated in order to have a thriving community. Education or signage to show how trash management affects the environment, community, and ultimately our waterways (Sanderson Gulch)

Caitlin Eggimann Nov 3 2025 at 10:48AM on page 25

Suggestion
Sanderson Gulch could be amazing. I suggest the pathways have signage to connect through neighborhoods, and also signage about protecting trash from infiltrating waterways and the effect it has on our health and property value. As of now, the Westwood neighborhood section is filled with a stench and trash that is commonly found throughout.

Caitlin Eggimann Nov 3 2025 at 10:45AM on page 24

Suggestion
Please please, please repave and expand the lanes on Sheridan from Mississippi to 6th Ave. Driving with narrow, mounded lanes and drivers dodging potholes increases the danger for pedestrians and drivers. I would rather go out of my way on back streets than to drive this section; however, it is my daily commute from my house, which is located on this strip of Sheridan, and it is not feasible to avoid daily.

Caitlin Eggimann Nov 3 2025 at 10:40AM on page 21

Suggestion
Currently, this parking lot has pot holes everywhere, just driving through the parking lot is a dangerous feat to your car alignment and tires. Building sitting areas and more access to healthy food should be implemented here along with a repaving of the parking lot with clear directional lines.

Kane Nov 3 2025 at 9:58AM on page 169

Question
Has there been any consideration or discussions with Excel regarding undergrounding the transmission towers that run down Tennessee and Mississippi?

Casie Simpson Nov 3 2025 at 9:23AM on page 183

Question
The previous draft had a more illustrative example of how this area could be redeveloped, which I liked. This revision seems much more vague. Why was that portion removed? We are really hoping for a coffee shop and/or brewery — somewhere with comfortable seating and an enjoyable environment to walk to and hang out with friends.

Emma Sletteland Nov 3 2025 at 8:50AM on page 164

Suggestion
The plan for Westwood/Morrison road DESPERATELY needs a plan for litter. Litter is a HUGE problem in the community. The residents need education and we need to build community norms against littering, now it's completely socially acceptable to litter. We need more trash cans, signage, education, and enforcement. We need community clean up because the neighborhood is currently full of trash, and it's not going to be a vibrant gathering spot when it's currently a dump.

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 7:13PM on page 170

Wonderful!

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 7:00PM on page 139

Suggestion
Can a permanent concrete barrier be considered to protect pedestrians from traffic on federal?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:55PM on page 136

Suggestion
Lanes should NOT be added to Federal to accomodate BRT. Lanes are not being added in other areas of this corridor and should not be added in the SW corridor either. This is not equitable.

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:54PM on page 136

Question
Are there currently height restrictions on Federal? Will proposed rezoning maintain or add height restricitons?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:47PM on page 120

How does this align with the Mississippi Avenue Vision Zero Safety Projects?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:37PM on page 107

Question
Have there been considerations for noise mitigation measures to reduce road noice from I-25 and Santa Fe Drive?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:31PM on page 110

This would be wonderful

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:29PM on page 109

Question
What is driving this "preservation"

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:28PM on page 109

Question
BRT is planned for Mississippi?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:10PM on page 82

Suggestion
Vallejo should be prioritzed due to its proximity to a heavily used park and school. Additionally its complete lack of calming (i.e. no crosswalks, no stop signs) despite all other streets adjacent to the park having some level of traffic calming. Use of stronger language beyond "consider" traffic calming

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:05PM on page 81

Lanes should NOT be added to federal to accomodate BRT

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 6:02PM on page 77

Suggestion
Vallejo should have a protected bike lane not just a bikeway

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 5:57PM on page 75

Question
What improvement is proposed here?

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 5:53PM on page 73

Suggestion
An east/west pedestrian bridge over the train tracks is needed connecting Lipan to Jason. Otherwise, pediestria access to/from Athmar is still cut off from everything east

Kane Oct 30 2025 at 5:45PM on page 66

Suggestion
Huston Lake Park should be considered for a View Plane ordinance

Cookie Oct 30 2025 at 10:28AM on page 1

Suggestion
I would like to see a couple big box variety stores in Marlee! I.E. Target; Walmart; an Outlet store! Oh, and a Krispy Kreme donut shop would be a great plus also! Thanks, Cookie C.

They also constantly blow the stop signs, so roundabouts, or something would be helpful to force slowing.

Nate Oct 29 2025 at 7:15PM on page 75

Suggestion
Crossing Florida all the way from Federal to S. Platte is extremely dangerous due to constantly-speeding cars. Consider traffic calming, lights, overpasses into Sanderson Gulch area, really anything to make crossing this street feel less like playing Frogger.

Nate Oct 29 2025 at 7:10PM on page 82

+1 Massively in agreement!

Nate Oct 29 2025 at 7:07PM on page 43

Suggestion
This still needs to allow for more density. Allowing for "Low-Medium" throughout the entire currently "low" areas still allows single family homes where it makes sense, but also allows for more appropriate density where it can be responsibly developed.

Answer
Thank you -- the link has been fixed

Robert Vlier 2 Oct 28 2025 at 12:43AM on page 82

Suggestion
It should be seriously considered that permanent speed enforcement cameras are installed throughout neighborhoods streets like Tejon, Jewell, Perry, etc and busy cooridors like Federal, Alameda, Mississippi, Florida etc. Colorado has legalized the use to speed enforcement cameras in the streets. Cities like Boulder, Wheat Ridge, and Fort Collins have implemented this. Bigger cities like San Francisco have implemented speed cameras city wide. Denver should consider the same, especially in the southwest neighborhoods where it’s a problem!

Robert Vlier 1 Oct 28 2025 at 12:12AM on page 121

Suggestion
The center turn lane in Mississippi should be eliminated in its entirety. If you’re driving if the speed limit (30mph) cars will often pass you in the center turn lane, creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians and other vehicles.

Robert Vlier 1 Oct 28 2025 at 12:04AM on page 92

Suggestion
The city should aggressively market the Be A Smart Ash program to encourage people to get trees planted, and maybe potentially explore offering incentives to encourage people to plant trees/xeroscape. i.e. certain discount on their trash or storm water bill.

Andrew McNulty Oct 27 2025 at 11:09PM on page 155

Suggestion
Connecting the bike lane from farther north on Broadway would bring more patrons than parking.

Andrew McNulty Oct 27 2025 at 10:54PM on page 80

Suggestion
BRT on Broadway makes a ton of sense given the number of passengers who use the 0.

Andrew McNulty Oct 27 2025 at 10:53PM on page 80

Suggestion
Yes, please re-start the C line. Many people would use it regularly.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:54PM on page 91

Would love to see these sections truly become more trail like. Right now just regular roads.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:53PM on page 82

Perry st needs traffic calming. People drive very fast and there are a lot of hills and parked cars that make long stretches dangerous.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:52PM on page 81

Suggestion
BRT on Alameda would be a huge benefit.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:51PM on page 78

Would not describe this as "high comfort" in the area. Many drivers have no idea that they are sharing the road with bikes and with all of the street parking it is really tight for everybody.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:49PM on page 73

This loop route goes along some roads, even in the neighborhoods, where cars are travelling at very high speeds. A lot of improvements needed to make this safe for pedestrians and cyclists.

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:48PM on page 75

Suggestion
Morrison road is dangerous on a bike and the roadway infrastructure here should be improved beyond just streetscapes so that it is safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers

Ben Fulton Oct 27 2025 at 4:46PM on page 75

Suggestion
This crossing at Alameda is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Need to get the recommended crossing completed.

Robert Vlier Oct 27 2025 at 12:54AM on page 77

Suggestion
At busy local intersections, like W Louisiana and S Tejon, they should be roundabouts to discourage speeding drivers.

Robert Vlier Oct 27 2025 at 12:42AM on page 175

Suggestion
The Mississippi shopping center should encourage infill that includes a grocery store for the Athmar Park, and Ruby Hill neighborhood.

Robert Vlier Oct 27 2025 at 12:38AM on page 175

Suggestion
With the upcoming developments of the broncos stadium in Burnam Yard and the NWSL soccer stadium in Santa Fe Yards, residential use (particularly residential development like row homes, multi-use buildings with residential units) should be encouraged for key opportunities 3 and 4. These two developments will transform the area.

Robert Vlier Oct 27 2025 at 12:14AM on page 82

Suggestion
Traffic calming measures are very much needed on S Tejon Street. Cars will speed down the stretch of road from Florida to Mississippi well above the posted speed limit.

Robert Vlier Oct 27 2025 at 12:11AM on page 77

Suggestion
The recommended protected bike lane on Tejon in Athmar park should be extended down all the way from Mississippi to Florida in Ruby Hill to reduce speeding on the street! Very dangerous to bike on!!!
