In 2025, we focused on making Denver more vibrant, affordable and safe.
We fully reopened 16th Street and restored downtown foot traffic to pre-pandemic levels. We added or preserved more than 2,000 affordable homes and helped move 2,400 people off the streets, with 1,700 securing permanent housing -- and achieved the largest multi-year reduction in street homelessness of any U.S. city in history. Public safety improved citywide, with Denver recording its second-lowest homicide rate since 1990 and major declines in shootings and auto thefts. Voters approved the nearly $1 billion Vibrant Denver Bond to make key community investments in every neighborhood. We also secured long-term investments in Denver’s future, from keeping the Broncos in Denver to expanding parks, sports, arts and entertainment that will benefit the city for generations.
We are delivering real results for Denver today, while laying the foundation for a stronger, safer, more vibrant and more affordable city tomorrow.
