Do you find Denver’s annual budget process hard to follow or wish you had more opportunities to ensure your priorities are reflected in the final budget? Council members Amanda Sawyer, Stacie Gilmore, and Shontel Lewis hear your concerns.

After initial conversations with residents, fellow council members, and city agencies, they’ve developed ideas to make the process more transparent and responsive to Denver’s communities.

Join us on Tuesday, March 17 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to learn more about a proposal to change Denver's budget process.

About this event

You’re invited to a Front Range Passenger Rail District (FRPRD) Town Hall in Denver as planning continues for proposed intercity passenger rail service along Colorado’s Front Range.

Denver has been identified as a proposed stop along the Front Range, and District leaders want to hear directly from residents, business owners, and community stakeholders as planning advances.

Hosted by the Hon. Elbra M. Wedgeworth, this town hall is designed primarily as a listening session — an opportunity for community members to ask questions, share perspectives, and provide input as technical planning and analysis continue.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Hear a brief overview of the proposed service

• Ask project leadership questions

• Share feedback and local priorities

** Please join us and learn about Front Range Passenger Rail and share your ideas and questions.

Join us for our second Denver Mountain Parks tour. This time at Genesee Park. We will be going on an easy, family-friendly hike. We will be on an ADA accessible paved footpath. The hike will include the buffalo overlook. Acquired in 1914, the herd numbers approximately 50 and continues Denver’s conservation and stewardship efforts, and provides a living link to western history. In addition to the bison, Genesee boasts expansive rolling meadows, mountain valleys, and thick pine forests. The Chief Hosa Lodge, designed by one of Denver’s most famous architects, Jules Jacques Benedict, and built of native stone and logs in 1918, is also located in the park. The Lodge was named for Southern Arapahoe Chief Little Raven, whose nickname was Chief Hosa.

We will meet at the red star highlighting the Patrick House. Take exit 253 off I-70. Make a left and drive over I-70 to the road right before Chief Hosa Lodge. You take a left there, so Chief Hosa is on your right. Go down that road until it forks, then take the left fork and proceed to the parking lot. Keep an eye out for the Lisa for Denver banner to find us.
