Spring Parks Clean Up Day

Spring Parks Clean Up Day is Sunday, April 21 from 8:30 to 11 AM. The parks that will receive attention this spring are:

• 6th Avenue Parkway (Monaco to Quebec)
• Bayaud Park
• Cherry Creek Trail (University Blvd to Alameda Ave)
• City of Karmiel Park
• Denison Park
• Great Lawn Park
• John W Barnes Park
• Kittredge Park
• Lindsley Park
• Mayfair Park
• Montclair Park & Richthofen Parkway

We had amazing turn-out in 2023, and I hope you will join us this year as well! Your help keeps our parks beautiful.

Mayfair Park Update

Denver Parks and Recreation is happy to announce that the design is underway to improve the drainage in the playground. DPR anticipates having construction begin on these essential improvements in the late spring to be open by early summer.

As you are aware, the park has been fenced off since the existing drainage system (installed in 2012 with the playground construction) failed. During the heavy rains in 2023, the entire playground was filled with water and would not properly drain out. The drainage system is being improved to ensure that it flows properly so the playground does not fill with water again.

Thanks for your patience over the last year as DPR worked to find a way to fund this emergency need.

Crestmoor Park Playground Redesign Update

Crestmoor Park is being funded by the RISE Denver Bond and the City Wide Accessibility Capital Funds. The second phase of improvements at Crestmoor Park will primarily focus on replacing the existing playground, which requires frequent and often costly repairs. The secondary focus will aim to provide better accessibility to the playground and other amenities throughout the park.

General Schedule

• Public Outreach: Winter/Spring 2024
• Design: Spring 2024
• Construction Start: Spring 2025
• Project Complete: Spring 2026

Starting Phases 3 and 7 of Denver Water’s Pipe Replacement Project on East Colfax Avenue

Denver Water crews are replacing over 5 miles of 130-year-old pipeline in advance of the upcoming East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit project, which is being led by the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.

When: Next week, Denver Water will begin work on phases three and seven of the pipe replacement project along the East Colfax Avenue corridor. The entire project should be complete by the end of 2024. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather and may be altered to accommodate major events in Denver.

Where: Two crews will be working simultaneously along East Colfax Avenue.

• Phase three: East Colfax Avenue between York and Cook streets.
• Phase seven: East Colfax Avenue between Quebec and Xenia streets.

Local access to residences and businesses will be maintained throughout the project.

Commuters should expect delays in this area. For more information or to sign up to receive updates, we encourage folks to visit denverwater.org/Colfax.

Denver Water and RTD are coordinating to minimize impacts to bus routes throughout the project.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Before work begins:

• “No Parking” signs will be posted in the work area. Street parking will not be available during working hours, and vehicles left in the “No Parking” zone may be towed.
• Sandbags will be placed on curb grates to prevent mud and debris from entering the storm drains.
• Electronic signage has been placed along East Colfax Avenue to alert drivers about construction impacts.

During construction:

• Lane closures on East Colfax Avenue will occur daily, and commuters should expect delays.
• Businesses will remain open throughout construction. Denver Water will work to ensure individuals are able to safely access businesses by using flaggers.
• We will coordinate directly with property owners to replace confirmed lead service lines along East Colfax Avenue.

Water outages will be necessary on this project. Crews will provide a notice with the date and time of the planned water outage on the front door of your property at least 24 hours in advance of the planned water outage. While unlikely, emergency water shut-offs may also occur. Visit denverwater.org/Outage for more information.

Working hours are typically Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m.- 8:30 p.m. Some night or weekend work may be required.

Crews will securely store equipment and materials near the work site.

Afterward:

• Temporary repairs to roads and sidewalks will be in place until permanent restoration occurs. Permanent roadway and sidewalk restoration may be delayed in winter months due to low temperatures and poor weather conditions. 
• Landscaping is typically restored April through October and may be delayed until the next planting season. 
• If your lead service line is replaced, please follow all guidance provided by Denver Water. For more information, visit denverwater.org/Lead.

Denver Water monitors Nextdoor during normal business hours. Please note that we cannot see any Nextdoor posts other than those we originate. If you have questions or if you want to verify or update your contact information with Denver Water, please call Denver Water Customer Care at 303-893-2444, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you are experiencing a water emergency, call 303-628-6801.

*Customer Care may be experiencing long wait times. Visit denverwater.org for self-service options and project information.

Denver Water Vault Replacement Project in Montclair

Attention Montclair Residents!

Commencing the week of February 12, an essential vault replacement project is beginning within the Montclair neighborhood. Vaults, serving as critical underground structures, are poised for enhancement to facilitate Denver Water crews in promptly accessing water pipelines. This upgrade enables precise control of water pressure, seamless relay of information, and necessary adjustments.

Location: Poplar Street between East 12th and East 13th avenues.

Anticipated Impacts:

Before Work Commences:

• No Parking" signs will precede the project, necessitating alternative parking arrangements during working hours.
• Crews will judiciously store equipment and materials in close proximity to the worksite.
• Sandbags will be strategically placed on curb grates to mitigate the ingress of mud and debris into storm drains.

During Construction:

• Poplar Street will observe a complete closure to through traffic (East 12th to East 13th), with property access advised through the alley, where feasible.
• Work hours are typically scheduled Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the possibility of occasional night or weekend operations.
• While no planned water outages are expected, the potential for emergency water shut-offs, though unlikely, cannot be entirely ruled out.

Post-Completion:

• Temporary repairs to roads and sidewalks will be instituted until the comprehensive restoration, with potential winter delays due to inclement weather.
• Landscaping restoration is typically executed between April and October, possibly extending into the subsequent planting season.

Denver Water appreciates your understanding and cooperation during this essential infrastructure improvement initiative.

Parking Permits at Park Mayfair Condominiums

An update on the Park Mayfair Condominiums signage:

The work to remove the time restrictions around Park Mayfair is prioritized, and signs will likely be removed by DOTI during the month of February. Time limits are effective and enforceable until signs have been removed. Signs will be removed, and unrestricted parking will be introduced. Remember, time limit signs are enforceable if present, so they must be removed to genuinely introduce unrestricted parking!  

The existing off-street parking supply should be able to accommodate most patient and staff parking needs. Patients can park on Dahlia (or another nearby time restricted street) today for 2-hours and observed parking occupancy is low. 

DOTI plans to initiate a CAP for this portion of Hale in 2024, and they will keep us in the loop as the timeline for initiating this plan is refined. Prior to CAP initiation, DOTI will collect parking restriction, capacity, and occupancy data and coordinate with our office to identify Stakeholder Working Group members. We certainly want to include a representative from Park Mayfair.

Get involved with the Alameda Avenue Corridor Study

Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) is leading a study of Alameda Avenue in partnership with the City and County of Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Glendale, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and the Regional Transportation District (RTD). The goal is to develop a shared vision for the corridor from Wadsworth Blvd., in Lakewood to the R-Line in Aurora. 

The study aims to improve mobility and safety for all users and plan for future transit investments, while still preserving the character of the corridor. The study will identify mobility and safety issues and result in recommendations for transportation improvements that will enhance the corridor – making it safer and more accessible for all road users.

DRCOG is currently collecting feedback to understand community concerns with safety, mobility or other transportation along the Alameda Corridor. You can learn more about the study, provide feedback about your experiences along Alameda, and sign up for a focus group discussion on the project website at: https://engage.drcog.org/alameda-avenue-study

14th Ave. at Colorado Closed for the Jackson Street Storm Drain Project

In 2020, DOTI began work on a project that will include installing larger storm sewer pipe to better manage and improve flood mitigation during heavy rainstorms. The second phase of the project extends from the intersection of Jackson St and 14th Ave, across Colorado Blvd and south to the intersection of 13th Ave and Colorado Blvd. The project started last month and will last through January 2025. 

A full closure of E 14th Avenue—from just east of Jackson Street to Colorado Boulevard will last for approximately four months. In addition to the full closure along E 14th Avenue, there is a local-traffic-only closure on E 14th Avenue—east of Josephine—in effect. We encourage drivers to follow the posted detour signs to E 17th Avenue.

Denver Water's Tips to Avoid Frozen Pipes

Heed these tips to avoid expensive and wasteful water leaks this winter.

Before cold weather hits:

• Learn the location of your home’s water shut-off valve. If a pipe breaks, you’ll need to shut off the water to your house to minimize damage. In most single-family homes, the valve is in the basement or crawl space, on a wall facing the street.
• Make sure everyone in your household knows how to shut off the water.
• Insulate water pipes that may be vulnerable to the cold, such as those along exterior walls and in unheated basements.

During a deep freeze: 

• Keep open cabinet doors leading to exposed pipes (such as access doors for sinks), so that household air can warm them.
• If you have an attached garage, keep its doors shut. Occasionally, plumbing is routed through this unheated space, leaving it vulnerable to winter's worst.
• Crack a faucet farthest from the place where your water enters the house. A very slow drip will keep water molecules moving, reducing the chance that pipes will freeze. Place a bucket underneath the faucet so the water can be saved for other household uses.
• Keep your thermostat set above 65 degrees when leaving your house or business for several days.

If you think a pipe is frozen, don’t wait for nature to take its course:

• Thaw the pipe as soon as possible or call a plumber for help.
• If you thaw it yourself, shut off the water or test the shut-off valve. You don’t want water suddenly gushing from the pipe when it thaws.
• When thawing, slower is better. Pipes warmed too fast may break. A hair dryer pointed at the frozen area of the pipe is appropriate. A blow torch is not.

The DA's February Scam Spotter

Let's dive into the latest scam spotter tips:

Valentine's Day, with its roses, chocolates, cards, and fancy dinners, is reminiscent of scenes from romantic movies. But when loneliness collides with a con-artist on a dating website, the outcome can be a heart-wrenching scam. Falling prey to a romance scam goes beyond financial loss and wasted time, it shatters your heart. Recovery from financial loss is devastating, and a broken heart takes even longer to heal. Remember scammers are masters of manipulation and convincing stories. Staying vigilant and prioritizing your safety is crucial when navigating the quest for love online. 

According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the Better Business Bureau, the prevalence of online scams and the number of people falling for them has dramatically increased since the beginning of the pandemic. Scammers are trolling dating websites looking to find their next victim, and they find them, to the tune of nearly 70,000 people in 2022 who reported a romance scam, with losses that hit $1.3 billion. 

And for the hundreds who think they will never fall for a romance scam, read about this Denver man who thought the same thing: 

Denver man was scammed out of $1.6 million. Their relationship began on a dating app.

Registered Neighborhood Organizations

Denver is a unique city in promoting greater citizen involvement through organized neighborhood associations. Currently, there are 78 statistical neighborhoods represented by more than 200 registered neighborhood organizations (RNOs), Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and Homeowner Associations (HOAs).

In its defined geographic area, an RNO will normally address neighborhood quality of life issues - such as traffic, development and zoning, crime, communication and licensing, and promote social activities to enhance residential spirit, developing a sense of community, and encourage resident participation. RNOs meet regularly and many send out newsletters to keep residents informed on neighborhood issues and events.
