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.

MESA will be the first K-8 Expeditionary Learning Jeffco school. We aim to open in the Two Creeks neighborhood in 2027 with K, 1st and 2nd grades.
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.
Turns out that good ole paper, pencils and books was old tech, but superior tech after all. Oh yeah, and a bit of human interaction was good too.
Campaign Financial reports for four issue committees related to the zoning referendum election were posted on February 6, 2026. The reports show a lot of non-Lakewood special interest money on one side.
