District 5 News

Cherry Creek Curbside Access Plan

The Cherry Creek Curbside Area Management Plan (CAMP) Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) has collaborated to develop a strategic curbside parking plan for part of the Cherry Creek neighborhood, focusing on the Business Improvements Districts (BID) and nearby residential streets, to address curbside activities and manage the on-street parking supply more efficiently. The SWG includes members from Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure's (DOTI) Curbside & Parking (C&P) team, Cherry Creek North Neighborhood Association (CCNNA), Cherry Creek East Association, Cherry Creek North BID, Cherry Creek Steering Committee, and representatives from Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer's office (City Council District 5).



In August 2023, a draft of the CAMP was distributed to residents, businesses, and property owners in the study area to gather feedback. Since then, DOTI has continued to work with representatives from the CCNNA, Cherry Creek CAMP SWG, and Councilwoman Sawyer's office to further refine the plan based on input. As a result, the Cherry Creek CAMP SWG is pleased to present the final plan. See the draft plan (PDF) linked below for full details. Highlights include:

Initial Recommendations* (Unchanged):

• Extend Paid Parking Hours: Adjust 3-hour paid parking time limits from 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. to increase evening turnover for patrons.
• Expand No Parking Zones: Introduce strategic no parking zones to enhance traffic flow and improve visibility at alleys, driveways, and intersections.
• Introduce Paid Parking: Add paid parking zones along portions of Ellsworth and 1st Avenues.
• Ongoing Review: Monitor parking occupancy after plan implementation, especially on streets east of Madison and Garfield, to consider future adjustments as needed.

Recommendations Modified Based on Input*:

• Cherry Creek Permit Only Parking
• Original: Retain approximately 5 permit-only spaces per street, converting the rest to 2-hour time limits, with permits valid in both areas.
• Compromise: Retain approximately 10 permit-only spaces per street to increase parking supply for residents while keeping 2-hour time limits on remaining spaces.
• Area Permit Zones
• Original: Establish a single Cherry Creek North (CCN) Area Permit Zone to provide residents and guests the ability to park on any block within the CCN Area Permit Zone.
• Compromise: Introduce two distinct CCN Area Permit Zones to enhance parking flexibility for residents and guests, discourage local travel by permit participants to commercial destinations near the BID, and improve parking enforcement efficiency.
• Preserve Time Limits on Certain Streets
•  Retain parking time limits on Garfield, Jackson, and Harrison between Cedar and Alameda (previously proposed for removal).

* Recommendations to be implemented by DOTI's Curbside & Parking Team

Compost Rollout to District 5 and Service Changes

Denver is accelerating its rollout of compost collection service. Customers in District 5 should look for a letter in December explaining how to sign up for service, with compost carts to arrive in February and March. More info at: www.denvergov.org/compostrollout

To be able to accelerate the compost rollout to the rest of the city, Mayor Johnston and the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) have announced service changes to recycling service and large-item pick-up. Starting in 2025, recycling service will be bi-weekly instead of weekly and large-item pick-up will be every 9 weeks instead of monthly. While we are extremely disappointed in these developments, we look forward to composting capabilities coming to the residents of District 5 quickly.

Schlessman Library Temporary Closure for Renovations

Schlessman Library will temporarily close on January 20 for renovations. The Schlessman Family Branch Library community conversation was held in July 2016 and brought residents from Lowry together with library staff to discuss the future of the area. Lowry residents want a peaceful and safe community for children and desire to create a community where neighbors know one another. Attendees expressed concern about existing safety and security and a lack of available resources for families of different ethnic and economic backgrounds. Overall, residents opined for the ideal of Lowry as a planned, safe and walkable community. The renovation project includes: 

• Increase square footage with an addition to improve the service point for technology and service models
• Updating/relocating community room
• Exploring new arrangements for flexible learning spaces
• Redesigning the children’s area
• Modifying material shelving arrangement
• Redesigning staff rooms
• Exploring new arrangements for computers/mobile device access
• Exterior improvements to research and repair leaking titanium façade panels, replacing the roof, addressing landscaping, sidewalk and exterior lighting
• Improvements to building systems including HVAC
• Reducing solar gain on east and south curtain wall, life safety, surveillance and access controls, electrical, data, and communication systems
• Provide new interior finishes, furniture, fixtures, and signage
• Compliance with current ADA requirements

Current State

The Schlessman Family Branch Library was constructed in 2000 and the interior shows wear and tear from almost 20 years of high use. The interior is designed for library usage patterns popular a couple of decades ago and does not meet the needs of one of the busiest branches in the system. Most of the floor space is dedicated to fixed tall shelving housing large circulating collections, furniture for reading and study and large service desks designed for staff tasks related to receiving and checking out materials. Community room space and equipment are conducive primarily for presentations and group meeting purposes. Staff workspaces are not arranged efficiently, not ergonomically designed do not take into consideration space for new staff resulting from increased hours in the last several years.

Public and staff restrooms are not accessibility-compliant, do not address gender neutral accommodations and need refreshing. Some of the building systems and components are outdated including electrical, lighting, and telecommunications, mechanical, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Security and card access systems need to be upgraded. Data, power and furniture are lacking for access to high speed broadband available for customers to connect to the internet using their mobile devices and public access computers. Compliance with current accessibility, building code, and sustainability requirements are an issue. Facility square footage is too small for service area population demand for services. Landscaping, parking lot and sidewalk issues have not been addressed with annual maintenance funds. The metal siding needs restoration and the roof needs to be replaced.

Future State

The role of a modern branch library has shifted to be an active community space. Floor plans are reconfigured increasing space for learning, making, creating, meeting and collaborating. Self-service options for checking out and ordering materials are conveniently located near staff service desks. The children’s area has a literacy packed play space where parents and staff work together to prepare young children to learn and read.

A space functioning as a makerspace and digital and/or traditional media center where all ages can gather to create, invent and learn is available. Easy, quick access to the internet is available throughout the library. Community and conference rooms are transformed into flexible multi-function spaces with the power, data, technology and sound systems to support out-of-school learning, adult classes, meetings, collaboration, cultural programming and community events. Staff workspaces are larger and efficiently organized. Public and staff restrooms are refreshed and meet access requirements. The facility is a safer place for customers and staff. Building systems and components are new and improved. All accessibility, building code and sustainability requirements are in compliance. Exterior facade is restored and site issues are improved. The square footage is increased with an addition.

Schlessman Public Library Needs Your Help!

One of DPL's most popular branch libraries is in need of renovations! Though the renovation was initially funded in 2017 through a city bond, increased construction and labor costs and inflation require additional funding to complete the project at its original scope.

The renovations will include an improved community room on the first level, a brand-new teen space, a larger children's library, and enhancements throughout the library that make spaces easier to access and use. But additional amenities will have to be cut from the project without additional funding. To find more information visit dplfriends.org/schlessman.

Ellsworth Ave. Storm System Phase 2 Status Update 

Phase 1 of the Ellsworth Storm project is complete. The project began in August

2021 at the intersection of Steele St and Ellsworth Ave. This work required

extensive relocation of underground utilities. Major work was performed in the

Ellsworth corridor to update and replace the storm sewer lines that flow down

Ellsworth Ave and connect to Steele St. Green Infrastructure planters were

placed on all corners of the Adams St and Ellsworth Ave intersection and the NE

corner of the Cook St and Ellsworth Ave intersection. Phase 1 ended just west of

Madison St on Ellsworth Ave.

The Phase 2 construction contract was approved by City Council in September, and construction has started!

General Information

• Awarded Contractor: Concrete Works of Colorado (CWC)
• Project Manager/DOTI Responsible Party: Blake Russo-Nixon, Construction Project Manager
• Contractual Information: CWC was given Notice to Proceed (NTP) on December 2, 2024. Construction is anticipated to be completed 3^rd quarter 2025.
• Typical Hours of Construction: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Unique circumstances may require work past 5:00 p.m., but all work will be completed prior to 9:00 p.m. per City of Denver Noise Ordinance. 
• Business/Driveway Access: All business and residential driveway access will be maintained during construction. There may be instances where alternative entry and exit parameters are required to complete the work. Each property owner will be contacted prior to access modifications.

Monthly Construction Look Ahead - January 2025

• Road Closures: Concrete Work of Colorado (CWC) will have the roadway closed on Ellsworth Ave. from just east of Cook St. to just west of Monroe St. Construction phasing will generally progress from west to east on Ellsworth Ave.
• Pedestrian Travel: Crews plan to replace ADA ramps at the intersection of Ellsworth Ave. and Madison St. When the sidewalk is scheduled for removal, crews will maintain an open sidewalk path on one side of Ellsworth Ave. for pedestrian access. 
• Construction Activities: There will be excavation work and relocation of utilities in conflict with the proposed storm system in the Ellsworth/Madison intersection. CWC will be installing the main storm line between Cook St. and Monroe St. and will install storm inlets and laterals in the Ellsworth/Madison intersection. Crews will be performing surveys, potholing for utilities, and maintaining BMPs for erosion control.
• Utility Work: A domestic waterline outage is anticipated the week of January 12th near Ellsworth Ave. and Madison St. Each homeowner being affected will receive a notice on their door 48 hours prior to each outage. These outages are necessary to relocate the existing water mains and make room for the new storm system. Crews will work diligently to keep these outages as short as possible, and you will be contacted if this timeframe changes.
• Paving: CWC will be removing asphalt pavement necessary for storm sewer installation. Ellsworth Ave. will be completely repaved from street edge to street edge by the end of this project.
• Vibration Monitoring: The project team has installed vibration monitoring equipment onsite and continues to monitor vibration levels caused by construction so that they remain at an acceptable level.

East 16th Avenue Storm Interceptor

Special Update — Electrical Work in Area

January 13, 2025

We have been informed that Xcel’s subcontractor — Sturgeon Electric — is starting work today on overhead power line relocations in the area north of our upcoming project footprint. This work will remove utilities from the path of the upcoming E. 16th Ave. Storm project.

Their work will start north of E. 17th Ave. Pkwy near the intersections of Albion and Bellaire. They will then move south into the alley system south of E. 17th Ave. Pkwy. According to Xcel, this work will not be as impactful as the gas line work they recently completed in the area.

They expect to be working on these relocations until March 3.

If you have any questions / concerns about their work, you can contact:

Denver Jewish Film Festival

Thursday, January 23 through February 2

Tickets are on sale now for the 29^th Annual Denver Jewish Film Festival, which runs from January 23 to February 2, 2025, at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center at the JCC. The festival features more than 20 entertaining and educational films including documentaries, comedies, narratives and shorts, and presents the best and brightest cinematic moments from newly released Israeli and Jewish cinema, actors, or producers.

For example, on January 30, we will show a film called Yaniv, about a high school teacher who participates in an underground card game run by the Hasidic Jewish community to raise money for the school musical. The film will be followed by a game night at JCC Denver. On February 2, we will show a film called Torah Tropical, which follows the phenomenon of Latin American Evangelical Christians converting to Orthodox Judaism. We’ll then have Columbian food for guests to purchase.”

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.
