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. Use our comment guide to speak up for walking, biking, and taking transit as the City creates the new Burnham Yard Small Area Plan to connect people to and through this important Central Denver area.
Show support for affordable missing middle housing
The City’s Unlocking Housing Choices proposal is a chance to change that by allowing more “missing middle” homes like duplexes, fourplexes, 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.
The city is hosting community meetings now, and they’re listening closely to who shows up. You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who’s tired of a system that makes it harder to affordably live close to the places you go every day. Speak in support at a public meeting using our guide.
Support a better Colorado Blvd
Colorado Blvd has so much culture and community, but it’s also one of Denver’s most dangerous, congested, and grungy corridors. The planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project (like what’s coming to East Colfax) could transform it, but only if it’s done right.
True BRT means buses in their own lane. That doesn’t just make transit faster; it makes the street safer by slowing speeds, reducing conflicts between people driving, walking, biking, and taking transit, and more.
But that bus-only lane for Colorado is at risk of being watered down. Join with neighbors, riders, and local businesses to show strong community support for a bus only lane by signing the petition below.
Want do to more? Speak up in support of the bus-only lane at the project Open House and/or take CDOT’s online survey.
- May 13, 5–7 pm

- Drop in anytime and tell the project team you support bus-only lanes on Colorado Boulevard, whether center- or side-running.
