This is probably going one of the shortest blogs I have ever written for this platform. Suffice to say, I don’t have much beyond the above to say. Cities such as Mexico City and Bogota have done similar programs to overwhelmingly success, Denverites came out overwhelmingly for the last two events, and a new administration should make the bold choice to make the May-August open streets event funded through the 2024 budget. If you are interested in this, I urge you to complete 2 items.
- Take the Viva Streets Survey
Taking the survey to indicate what you liked and didn’t like about the event. You may also win a prize!
2. Write to the mayor, your district councilmember, and at large members to permanently fund Viva Streets!
You can find your councilmember’s info here. If you are a member of District 7, District 10, and District 9, Definitely reach out, as the route is along their districts!
You can find the contact info for Mayor Johnston here.
