Zoning- What Hasn’t Been Told

Guest post from Lenore Herskovitz
Although the City has touted their 2 year effort to produce and inform the public about the updated zoning code, there remains a large number of residents who are unaware of the upcoming special election challenging the zoning changes that were passed by the City Council at the end of last year. Ballots will be mailed out on March 16 but how many people will know why they are receiving one? Why did communication efforts fail? Did the City ever reach out to its residents and ask what would be the most effective way to notify them about policies, meetings, developments that would affect their lives? Perhaps that is something the City should consider doing moving forward.

Tell The Truth About Upzoning

The City of Lakewood, Colorado has approved a city-wide upzoning scheme largely in response to the influence of private equity developers and the ‘redress’ movement as described at their website redressmovement.org.

Support my Coast-to-Coast Ride for Lakewood Troop 448

Starting at the end of May 2026, I will be cycling across the country, following the TransAmerica Route from the Altantic Ocean in Yorktown, VA to the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, OR. In general, I will be traveling by myself without a support vehicle, though a few friends are planning on joining me for a few days here and there. If you would like to be one of those friends, let me know!! The trip will take me about 2.5 months, and I will primarily be tent camping along the way. You can follow my journey on my online journal at cgoab.com/littlemoose.
