DENVER ­— Denver Public Works would like the public to be aware of private construction work and paving that will both impact traffic flow along our roadways in the coming days.

York Street from 23^rd to 26^th Avenues

Starting Tuesday, August 7, work will be underway to repave York Street from 26^th to 23^rd Avenues. On Tuesday through Thursday, the southbound lanes will fully close and there will be one lane of traffic northbound.

Then, on Friday, August 10 until Sunday, August 12, York will fully close from 26^th Avenue through the intersection of 23^rd Avenue. Visitors can access the zoo from the Colorado Boulevard entrance while work is underway.

Detours will be in place for drivers, pedestrians, and people on bikes.

 

All work is weather dependent and subject to change.

Subject: Denver Dog Park Master Plan “Technical Update” Underway: Public Survey Available Now!

Denver Dog Park Master Plan: 2018 Technical Update

Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR) is in the process of implementing a “technical update†to its current Dog Park Master Plan, which was completed in 2010.

Currently, there are more than 50,000 dogs registered in the City and County of Denver and 12 designated off-leash dog parks. Much like Denver’s human population growth, it’s expected that the number of dogs will continue to increase. To help alleviate the various issues that arise from an increasing dog population in a growing city, many municipalities are looking towards dog parks.

What’s a “technical update�

The term “technical update†is used to describe the re-examination of an existing plan. After almost 10 years of use and changing city demographics, Denver’s 2010 Dog Park Master Plan is now outdated.

Visit the project page to find more information and resources, including Frequently Asked Questions.

Online survey open until September 30, 2018:

This survey is intended to identify the public’s needs and priorities for current and future dog parks in Denver. The input gathered will inform details of the technical update.

Whether you’re a dog owner or not, we need your input—thank you for your time and feedback; and for sharing this survey with your neighbors!

The City and County of Denver and Saunders Construction are hosting a community open house to share updates on the redesign of City Park Golf Course.

There will be stations with information on the following aspects of the project:

• Clubhouse final design
• Interpretive/historical exhibits design concepts
• 23^rd Avenue intersection design concept
• Stormwater irrigation
• Golf course routing and design
• Construction progress update

Scheduled to reopen in 2019, the City Park Golf Course Redesign project includes an updated 18-hole golf course with natural landscaping, a new clubhouse and maintenance facility, stormwater detention that provides increased flood protection to thousands of homes, and a reforestation program with a net gain of 500 trees. The basis of design for this project was developed from an iterative, collaborative process with a cross-section of members within the community. The redesign maintains sweeping vistas and park like feel of the course.
