Weigh in on two surveys about the North Denver water projects
Now is the time to tell the city your thoughts on two major flood-control projects in the Platte to Park Hill plan.
City Park Golf Course
The redesign of the City Park Golf Course would change its layout so it can store floodwater in large storms.
First, the city is conducting a survey about its plan.
There’s also a drop-in event about the plan on Saturday, July 30. It will be at the City Park Golf Course Clubhouse,
2500 York Street, Denver, CO 80205.
39th Avenue Open Channel
This project would create a large, mostly grassy stretch along 39th Avenue. During floods, the channel will collect water flooding off neighborhoods to the south and carry it to the South Platte River.
The survey is online now, and a community workshop is on Wednesday, August 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It will also be at the City Park Golf Course Clubhouse, 2500 York Street, Denver, CO 80205.
