This raises several questions:

Can the City release a perpetual Conservation Easement granted to the City for fair value? Even if it can, should it?

What is the value of the 25-are Inundation Easement?

What compensation is the City providing Clayton in exchange for the Inundation Easement?

What is the value of the Conservation Easement?

What is the value of the zoning?

How did they arrive at these values?

A Message From Brad Evans, Ditch The Ditch


Hello Friends,

A green sign with the words join cpfa

Over the last 30 days, we’ve seen significant progress Ditching The Ditch. We’ve put CDOT, the City of Denver, and their boondoggle ditch project on the ropes. The tide has turned, and we are seeing a BIG results! We need your help, we’ve received a $6000 matching dollar challenge, and we can double it with your help! https://www.gofundme.com/film-campaign

With four lawsuits pending against this project, community outcry has been tremendous. The road to victory, however, is still a long one. While these legal disputes continue to wind their way through the courts, now is the time to fortify the battle on another vital front; the court of public opinion. To this end, we are working with a film maker to create 3 videos for use on social media. The film maker is generously donating his time to work on these films. Remaining costs will run $20,000 and we NEED to cover that.
We would like to thank Kayvan Khalatbari for connecting us with this film maker, as that alone has saved us thousands of dollars. These kinds of collaborative efforts show why education is so important. The I-70 Ditch is an affront to humanity, and people across the country want to join the fight. In order for them to do that, we have to tell them where the fight is and how.
Our public education efforts so far, have led to national coverage in the New York Times, The Nation, The Guardian, and City Lab. National press leads to more funding and critical pressure from more influential players, which the mayor and governor are particularly vulnerable to.
To continue our work in funding the lawsuits and the public education efforts, we are asking you to make another tax deductible contribution to Ditch the Ditch. Your contributions make certain we stop the Ditch and hold politicians accountable to their real constituents, the people. We are up against wasteful government, crony capitalism, and corruption in the highest order.
Ten contributions of $1,000 each, funds our video production. Every dollar helps us reach our goal, and helps us keep this out of control government accountable. We NEED a minimum of $3,200 before September 10th to start shooting, the day we begin filming. Everyone who contributes $1,000 or more, will receive an invitation to attend the filming.
Additionally we’re hosting a fundraiser on Sept 12th, all funds raised for this will be met with the above mentioned match. Hope you can attend! http://tinyurl.com/y9hnkrfx

NO VERDICT YET/ CITY TO “DONATE” PARK LAND TO DEVELOPER?

DENVER PARKS WANTS TO “SWAP” A PUBLIC PARK FOR A “PRIVATE” PLAZA. COME & LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD[/dropshadowbox]

The city proposes to give a piece of publicly owned property that was supposed to be a green, public park…. to a private
developer. Such a deal for whom?

This property is located on the 2800 block of Fairfax.
Denver Parks & Recreation told Park Hill residents that this property would be made into a public park.
Now the city ( Denver Parks and Recreation) proposes to hand it over to a private developer in the form of a “LAND SWAPâ€.
City Councilman Chris Herndon appears to be facilitating this swap.

Instead of a public park, residents would get a cement plaza embedded in a big mixed use development across the street from the land in question……. in exchange for this city owned property.

This is the same big private development that Councilman Chris Herndon was asked to keep secret from his constituents, by the developer, until the land acquisition was complete. And Councilman Herndon did just that. Now, is he in favor of donating our precious park land to the same developer AT A LOSS TO THE CITY?

The private developer would maintain the “park” and provide “security”. We understand that the developer would also have first right on utilization of the “park”.

Does this sound like a public park to you? Would all neighbors be welcome in this upscale development with restaurants and retail? Could you have a barbeque or a family reunion in this “park”?

DOES THIS SOUND FISHY TO YOU?

ACTION: Greater Park Hill Community will discuss this proposal at their meeting tonight:
Thursday, September 7
6:30 PM
Greater Park Hill Community Center,
2823 Fairfax St. 880207
Park Hill Community neighbors and the City of Denver Dept of Parks and Recreation ( Scott Gilmore) will be giving presentations.
We need your voice.

The $64 question. Will Denver City Councilman Chris Herndon attend?
Stay tuned.

Denver Parks seem to be under attack from our own Department of Parks and Recreation, Denver City Council and the Mayor.
The people literally have no voice or vote in the destiny of our parks.
The Director of Denver Parks and Recreation, Happy Haynes, a political appointee who serves at the pleasure of Mayor Michael Hancock ,ALONE, now decides what is a park use.
Huge Music Festivals, drainage projects, incinerators, a Starbucks or a MacDonalds … Happy can rule that they are all park uses.

You don’t get to vote on it and neither does your City Council Representative. Denver’s 2010 Zoning Law overhaul gave the Mayor complete control over the destiny of Denver’s parks.

Were you snoozing when that law passed?

We need to be alert and let our voices be heard… loud and clear.
Citizens of Denver want to have a voice in their own destiny and have a say in what happens to our public lands before they aren’t public anymore.
