First draft of East Area Plan is here!
Review and comment online
After more than two years of community engagement and two rounds of public review on draft plan recommendations, the first draft of the East Area Plan is here and ready for you to review and comment on.

In light of the need for social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, we cannot hold an in-person open house at this time. We know that face-to-face dialog is a valuable component of any public process, but while current circumstances are keeping residents at home, we encourage those who can to take advantage of online options to continue to engage in the planning process. We're looking into additional alternatives to an in-person meeting and will announce other ways to participate within the city and state's stay-at-home guidelines in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to your input on the draft plan.

About the East Area Plan
The East Planning Area neighborhoods—South Park Hill, Montclair, Hale, and East Colfax—contain many great community assets, including historic parkways, the Rose Medical Center, Johnson and Wales University, and many unique, locally-owned businesses. The area is experiencing some significant changes, such as the 9th and Colorado mixed use project, as well as plans to add Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along Colfax Avenue. Two of the four neighborhoods, South Park Hill and East Colfax, have out of date plans, while Hale and Montclair have no plans at all.

The Neighborhood Planning Initiative provides a great opportunity to establish the community’s vision for maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in these neighborhoods for decades to come.
