Unlocking Housing Choices

The City’s Unlocking Housing Choices proposal is a critical first step in allowing more “missing middle” homes like duplexes, triplexes, and cottage clusters. The goal: more homes in existing neighborhoods, designed to fit in with current neighborhoods while preserving existing homes. All of that is the key to a diverse, affordable, housing stock that supports a variety of families and a more connected, transit-friendly city.

Our friends at Housing Forward Colorado put together a website with more information about the initiative. Take a look, then email City Council to show your support for affordable middle housing!

Support transit for Burnham Yard

The Broncos are proposing a new stadium at Burnham Yard, and the City is developing a Small Area Plan that will guide streets, transit, and public space here for decades. This redevelopment is only possible because the community pushed back against expanding I-25 on the site. Now we have a chance to make sure the plan prioritizes transit, walking, and biking, especially in nearby neighborhoods that already face the highest air pollution in Denver. The more clearly we advocate for these priorities now, the less we’ll have to fight car-centric ideas later.

The next Burnham Yard Small Area Plan community meeting is right around the corner! This is your opportunity to contribute your input about the redevelopment of the railyard and surrounding area. 

🗓️ Wednesday, August 12, 2026
🕔 5-7 p.m.
📍 La Alma Recreation Center, 1325 W. 11th Ave.

Safety Over Slush

In 2021, Denver doubled parking meter rates and created a Transportation & Mobility Special Revenue Fund to invest the incremental revenue—about $15 million annually—in pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and Vision Zero safety improvements. Instead of funding safer streets, the Johnston Administration has drifted from that purpose. Millions have been redirected to unrelated uses.In the City’s 2026 budget, the extra money you pay to park at meters is being used to help other people get out of their parking tickets!

We’re calling on City Council to get this fund back on track to prioritizing real safety investments by protecting revenue from being siphoned off for other purposes, and setting clear rules for how it can be used.
