The Downtown Development Authority meets tonight (Monday May 26th) at 6:30 in City Council Chambers. Trailhead Taphouse (the new restaurant going in at 12th St. and Miners Alley) is requesting a $2500 grant to help pay for exterior signage (the total estimated cost is $6-10,000). Rick Muriby of the Planning Department will report on the Golden Bike Library, which will launch at the Visitors Center on June 22nd (Bike to Work Day). Mesa Meadows (the Foss family) plans to build four townhomes at 8th Street and Arapahoe. They are asking the DDA to fund the new curb, a line of trees along the street, and a sidewalk. They believe that the total cost for demolition of the old curb and sidewalk and installation of new curb, sidewalk, and trees, will be about $35,000. Finally, staff will brief the DDA on planned “wayfaring” upgrades for the city.
The Parks & Rec Board will meet Tuesday night at 7 at the Community Center. They also will hear an update on the Bike Library. They will discuss Park Rules. The Director will report on the status of the Parks & Rec Master Plan, the Ulysses Skatepark, and the Astor House Renovation.
