Neighborhood Plan

In an environment of rapid change, it's important our community form a collective voice for what is best for residents. We advocate for proper infrastructure that keeps current with development. We invite neighbors to join in any board meetings and encourage participation at denvergov neighborhood toolkit at www.denvergov.org/neighborhoodtoolkit

Have your voice heard directly on our call for a local park!

A top priority in our community is attaining and protecting green space. Our councilwoman, Kendra Black, affirms this and urges neighbors to add to our collective voice at Denver Parks Foundation Fund. NEWLY ANNOUNCED: $50,000 match made available for donors!

UHills North Board has sought the most effective way to join the call for green space in our community. Write a letter and send it with the following instructions. OR Send your letter to UHills board and let us take care of the rest! We'll share some examples with your permission.

Denver needs 1,000 new acres of parkland just to keep up with the population growth. That is a tall task, but one that all of us can start working toward right away. The health and well being of residents depends on it. We are actively raising money from philanthropic organizations, corporations and individuals. Please consider making a donation. To do so, visit this link to the Denver Parks Foundation Fund at The Denver Foundation and/or write your letter and urge neighbors to also do so:

Points to include:

• our community is bordered by I-25, Evans, Yale, and Colorado Blvd, all very difficult for pedestrians to cross.
• two light rail stations (Colorado and Yale)
• our nearest park is a 20 min walk, requires crossing Colorado Blvd - a very busy state highway
• many single family homes, lots of new development
• this year, hundreds of new residents, ultimately thousands
• Existing zone districts allow for this new development and include: S-MX 5, G-MU-3, G-MU-8, S-MX-5, S-CC-5, S-SU-D
• Trust for Public Land recommends this neighborhood needs a park
• there is no public space for community members to enjoy without a park

Letters can all emailed, mailed or both. or sent to UHills North Board
