Past Surveys from District 10 e-talk

Central Denver Recreation Center – What do YOU Think?

 

Last November, when Denver voters said yes to a tax increase to fund Infrastructure projects, $11 million was allocated for the acquisition of land and the planning for a recreation center to serve several central and east Denver neighborhoods.  A 2006 Recreation Needs Assessment Survey showed there to be a gap in recreation center service for central Denver.  To view maps of the central Denver need click here.

 

Over 70 Denver residents attended the initial public meeting on the central Denver recreation center bond project on Tuesday evening, April 1, 2008.  Citizens were introduced to current trends and facilities located in today’s state-of-the-are public recreation centers. They also participated in a ‘Build-a -Recreation Center’ workshop where groups designed their ideal recreation center with a hypothetical fixed budget.  At the end of the session, each group described their key activities and discussed their opinions and suggestions for desired facilities and programs. 

 What Do You Think?  I want your feedback on the issues that were discussed at the central Denver recreation Center public meeting.

Possible Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance

An organization called “Better Bags Colorado” has contacted my office proposing legislation to reduce the use of plastic and paper grocery shopping bags.  Plastic bags are made with petroleum.  According to “Better Bags,” the petroleum it takes to make 14 plastic grocery bags can power a car for a mile.  The percentage of shopping bags recycled is small and in fact, plastic bags should not be put in recycling bins as they clog the sorters at recycling facilities.  Additionally, paper bags can also be wasteful.  In 1999, 10 billion paper shopping bags were used, consuming 14 million trees.  Although paper bags are biodegradable, 80% of paper bags end up in landfills.  “Better Bags” proposes that supermarkets with annual revenues over two milllion dollars charge a ten cent user fee for each checkout bag, plastic or paper.  Stores would be allowed to keep the ten cent fee to offset accounting and bag costs.  Customers would be encouraged to carry reusable shopping bags (often cloth or net) to carry their groceries in.  As a sidenote, Ireland decreased its use of plastic grocery bags by 90% in one year after enacting a 20 cent use fee on grocery bags.  Additionally, China recently outlawed free distribution of plastic shopping bags effective June 1, 2008.    

I’m interested in what you think:

  • Would be willing to carry cloth or other shopping bags instead of being provided a bag at the store?  
  • Would you be willing to pay a 10 cent user fee for each plastic or paper bag?

Possible Changes to Landmark Preservation and Board of Adjustment Review Process

 

I want to know what you think:

 

  • Do you live in a Historic District?  
  • Do you think that the Landmark Preservation Commission should be able to give both historic and zoning variances so that applicants do not have to go through two separate processes at Landmark Preservation Commission and the Board of Adjustment for Zoning Appeals?
