BIG CHANGES COMING DURING Monday’s Council Vote: URGENT ACTION NEEDED
From Denver East Neighborhoods First: The city is proposing to eliminate all parking requirements if certain affordable housing mandates are met along Colorado Blvd and Colfax Avenue. This elimination of parking requirements will impact residents from 13th Ave to 17th Ave and Colorado to Birch/Bellaire (approximately a quarter mile off of each corridor). Basically, large buildings will be allowed to be built with absolutely no parking provided.
EMAIL THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE NO ON THIS PARKING REQUIRMENT ELIMINATION:

You can also email the Denver City Council members to ask that they vote against the elimination of parking requirements by developers building along Colfax and Colorado Boulevard: dencc@denvergov.org

Previously, community planning and community input proposed that the elimination of all parking requirements should only occur at fixed railed stations. NOW, they are voting on Monday to remove parking requirements at any high/mid capacity corridors and any enhanced transit corridor as defined in Blueprint Denver. This will impact any road where the city has invested funds.
It would be helpful if you were to print out this flier and distribute in your neighborhood if you are able:
Per Proposal: enhanced transit infrastructure would include but is not limited to, dedicated transit lanes, off-board fare collection, real-time arrival/departure technology, and enhanced stops and stations intended for passenger queuing, loading, and unloading for the purpose of this definition, “under construction” shall mean an order of notice to proceed for construction has been issued.
While we all hope for affordable housing and decent transit this proposal does not strike the right balance.
