Safe, Clean & Compassionate Committee

Learn how you can get involved in making LoDo and ALL of downtown Denver neighborhoods safe and clean, with compassion for everyone involved.

Union Station has a long and diverse history in Denver, serving as a central welcoming point for tourists, neighbors, employees, and residents alike. Its historical prominence fosters a positive first impression when visitors depart the train from DIA, the nearby light rail, or the bus station. Since its $500 million renovation in 2014 and subsequent investment by developers to create an inviting mixed-use environment for downtown residents and businesses, Union Station has elevated the entire city and region, far beyond its immediate surroundings. However, we are nearing a critical inflection point in the history of the Union Station area, in other parts of LoDo and Denver, and we need the assistance of the city and other leadership to help change its direction.

Over the past two years, we have observed with growing alarm the slow, unabated degradation of this amazing community, exacerbating fears for what may become of our downtown if we do not take drastic and immediate measures to make it once again a clean, safe, and compassionate area.

 

Our neighborhood has taken steps as follows:

  • Holding WeBot events- Weekends Begin on Thursday 
  • Organizing the Safe, Clean & Compassionate Committee of LoDoNA
  • Creation of a Dog Walkers group to provide safety for lower downtown residents
  • Organizing a Coffee Club meet-up at Kaffe Landskap for local residents to connect with their neighbors
  • A twice-weekly clean-up crew to help keep clean Wewatta Pavilion and surrounding area in addition to the summertime periodic cleanups along cherry creek
  • Letter writing campaigns to council members
  • Beginning a new LoDo Night out to educate and meet neighbors, along with local law enforcement
