Proposed Design Overlay Aims to Create “Active Centers and Corridors”

January 15, 2021 By David Sabados Leave a Comment

A proposal eight years in the making, Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval’s office is hoping to enact a measure they believe will preserve retail and other commercial corridors, promote mixed use (commercial and residential) development, and ensure a more pleasant experience for residents walking through small business areas like Tennyson St, Lowell North of I-70, and portions of 44th … [Read more...] about Proposed Design Overlay Aims to Create “Active Centers and Corridors”

2020 – A Perspective

December 15, 2020 By Councilwoman Amanda P. Sandoval Leave a Comment

As I look back on the last year, I see it marked by transformation. On Friday, March 13th, Denver Public Schools (DPS) closed for three weeks for the first time in history. Then, ten days later, Mayor Hancock issued a stay-at-home order and the world as we knew it changed forever. In the early days of the stay-at-home order, like many others I hoped we would soon go back to … [Read more...] about 2020 – A Perspective
