As a third generation Denverite, I am amazed at how quickly Denver's prosperity has grown. I believe that during the '90s a shared vision between the citizens and their elected leaders forced us as a community to implement a plan that has now made Denver a city second to none!

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

The challenge for the future of Denver is to sustain its quality of life through managing its growth. In 2020, more than 1 million new residents are predicted to live in the Denver metro area -- more classrooms, improved transportation (including mass transit), affordable housing, basic city services -- all of these things must be provided if we are to meet the challenges of the new

My fondest memory was watching the Denver Broncos win a Super Bowl, it was my 2nd year living out here and to see that was exciting.

More people, more traffic, but hopefully the forests and parks will be protected still and nature untouched.

The regeneration of the downtown with the building of the New Central Library as the exciting hub, serving all of Denver's residents.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

More exciting, more dynamic; traffic clogged so downtown neighborhoods will have developed more quickly.

What is your fondest memory of Denver between 1991 and 2000?

My fondest memories of Denver all have something to do with the incredible weather:..waterskiing at Chatfield in 90 degrees, and then snow the next day; random, wicked rain, hailstorms and lightning; the fact that almost every day after it snows, we get a bright, sunny, crisp, beautiful day, and having some of the biggest, most amazing rainbows ever, right over metro Denver!

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I think that the level of congestion and the number people who move here will continue to increase, requiring higher-density housing and more small businesses in the metro area. Hopefully, that will bring about development of areas where people will only be able to walk or bike (or ride light rail), and cut down on the number of cars in the City. I'd like to see metro Denver become primarily pedestrian-oriented.

One of my fondest memories would have to be back in '95 (I was 18). I was flying back from Florida, the mountains lay in the distance, there were huge puffy clouds in the sky and the sun was setting. It was one of the most breathtaking moments in my life.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I think Denver is going to skyrocket in growth...the suburbs are going to expand in every direction.

Watching the Colorado Avalanche bring the first World Title to the greatest fans in the world. Even though the sentimental favorites, the Denver Broncos, would not only duplicate this feat, but win it twice! It was nice to see our region put on the sports map in 1996 with our NHL hockey franchise.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

More infrastructure to help ease the congestion of over-populated interstates. The pollution problem will continue to worsen if growth in our city is not addressed.

One of my more interesting memories was Y2k, December 31, 1999. I was "invited" to be in the command center at Denver Health to help monitor the millennium change. Because of riots after the last two successful Denver Superbowls, city officials, rightfully, were very nervous. But fortunately, all our Y2k work was done and the police presence large,  so I spent the night watching TV and surfing the Net. Yes Denver was one of the more boring places for Y2k, but we were grateful for peace and quiet!

What is your fondest memory of Denver between 1991 and 2000?

I discovered Capitol Hill when I was 20, moving from old North Denver, lived here since (10 years). The area was seedy; full of bums, junkies, crazy people, gun shots, prostitutes, empty buildings, bad drivers, and ‘crack houses.’ I loved it! Although gritty, there was nothing scary about it. Something was always happening, like signs of someone sleeping in my car, to being screamed at by a crazy person. But change has come. The neighborhood is turning into a vibrant cultural center of the region. Abandoned crack houses are now very nice condos. Cool restaurants are popping up all the time. The police station on Colfax closed down the drugs and the whores. Now with the water testing clean, people are discovering its greatness. But really has always been great!

With Uptown starting to come online and all the renovations on the Hill, Central Denver will pack a powerful punch in the future. Everyone will want to live there.

Driving westbound on I-70 on a stormy day. The sky was gray, the mountains were a darker shade of gray, and the Denver skyline lay proud at the bottom of the mountains, overpowered by the mountains but still an impressive statement of this city's economic success.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

Hopefully, the Denver metro area will become more ambitious. I've noticed that "ambition" is something Denver lacks today. With our great amenities, we should be striving for international recognition. Perhaps maybe even lure back the Olympics and make up for that tragic mistake we made at turning them down in the 1970's. Like I said, no ambition!

John Elway leading our Denver Broncos to a victory in Super Bowl XXXII. It brought our city together more than anything else had at that time.

I think that the city will keep expanding the way it is now and will solidify its place as one of the greatest cities in the country.

What is your fondest memory of Denver between 1991 and 2000?

The revitalization of lower downtown (LODO) is one of my fondest memories of Denver. I remember in college driving down from Boulder to go to the few bars around (Thirsty's or Rock Island). Now you can go to so many great places that existed only as run down warehouses in a dark, seedy part of town where the homeless lived. I love the renovation taking place not only in Denver's commercial atmosphere, but in the residential neighborhoods as well.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I think more people will continue to move to the urban setting, which means transportation options will continue to improve.

The way the city has grown and how radical the weather is. The smog-alert increases from the early '90s to now is evidence of Denver's prosperous growth.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

The city will obviously be much more larger and congested. There will also be more prosperity in the city then.

I still remember Denver as a quiet city and lovely to walk on the streets, lovely to run your car on the freeways, and a clean sky with no smog.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I think that if the government does not take care of our city, it is going to become like Los Angeles or New York -- too many people, violence, smog, trash.  I think Denver is a beautiful city, but we need to take care of it to keep it nice and clean. We need to rescue Denver before it is too late.

In 1999, Denver city and metro area were burning coal for electrical power "like there was no tomorrow." The saddest part was that a non-trivial part of the energy was nighttime lighting that was sprayed pointlessly upward, lighting the moon and destroying the view of the stars from in town.  Sadly, this wasteful lighting style was spreading throughout Colorado and the nation.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

Two possibilities:  that we learn to manage our use of energy much better.  This means safe and effective down-lighting placed where and when it is needed.  Otherwise, the wasteful approach was sustained until society collapsed from coal-burning/CO2 greenhouse gas buildup, stress and related factors.

What is your fondest memory of Denver between 1991 and 2000?

In 1993 (the Summer of Violence), I purchased my first home in Northeast Denver. It was an abandoned Victorian that has required much love and energy. We didn't need TV that first year because Cops played out on our street every night. Now the crack houses and the gunfire are gone. There is grass in every yard on the block. The neighborhood children of every race play together in the street. I've loved to watch the urban neighborhoods reclaim themselves and to see the way neighbors are looking beyond the obvious to develop roots and a great place to come home to every night.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

When I bought my house, Denver was still battling recession. Housing prices were low, interest rates even lower. While it's been wonderful to see the re-birth of our city, we need to work hard on infrastructure to ensure that Denver does not become even more exclusive than it already is. Economic cycles follow a trend that is undeniable, and we need to act now to ensure that we are not faced with the same early '80s problem we had during the oil bust. If we are not cautious now, we will not see the fruits of our labors in 10 years, but rather a down-turn that will amount to the Denver we do not wish to revisit.

I remember walking through the Denver Museum of Natural History with my new sweetheart in November 2000. Although I'd been through it many times with my students and nieces, it was wonderful to experience it with my new (and hopefully last) boyfriend. We walked hand in hand through the entire museum and even participated in the fossil discovery stamping activity they'd developed for kiddos. It was romantic and wonderful, as well as a good way to find out about our mutual interest in dinosaurs.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I hope Denver is still thriving 10 years from now. I hope to see light rail service extended into Boulder, Parker and Aurora. I hope public transportation revolutionizes the way Denverites, new and old, think about living. I hope we continue our worldwide reputation for being a friendly city.

A few years ago, a friend and I returned to my apartment a few blocks off of Colfax and as soon as we got out of the car, we saw a transvestite walking down the sidewalk, swinging "her" hips and in high heels making "her" well over 6 feet tall!  As soon as my friend and I reached the vestibule of my building, we burst into uncontrollable laughter.

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

Massively overpopulated, which is one of the reasons I chose to move. The housing will probably skyrocket in price as well.  But good luck to the rest of you who are still there!

What do you think Denver will be like in the year 2010?

I hope that the city is still beautiful and clean!  I know that the city is expanding and getting bigger, but I hope that the government and the Colorado residents will help keep it from becoming a trashy city. We need to keep it clean...and not have it turn out like LA or NY, with all the crimes, drugs, smog, dirt, etc. Please help keep it nice!

I think Denver is going to be huge. Its small town feel is going to be gone. People aren't going to be as friendly. DTC is going to be packed full of office buildings and the whole city is going to be gigantic!

I hope Denver in 2010 is a good, better place to live for all people. I hope America catches up with Canada, England, Scandinavian countries and the industrial world, by providing universal health care coverage for all our citizens. I hope libraries, hospitals, museums, and senior care facilities are improved and better-financed. My predictions for or by 2010: If she shows she is a real, traditional Democrat, President Hillary. Udall as Interior Secretary. Rockies win the World Series. A consumer/activist TV network channel airs nationally. Communities develop their own resident- and worker-owned and operated companies and factories. Wind energy development increases. Light rail for passengers in northern communities of Denver. More electric and alternative cars. Variety shows return to television. Best wishes to everyone now and 10 years from now!  And to those in 2010: We hoped for a better future, we worked for a better future, we stayed optimistic, we cared about others, and we count (and counted) our blessings each day.
