Best. Summer. Ever. After last year’s bummer of a summer, here’s how to make the most of Mile High life in 2021 BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Did your funnel cake intake stay at zero last year? Has it been a while since you’ve danced in anything but pajamas? If you’re among the millions ready to shed some pentup energy as the summer of 2021 dawns, here’s a few events coming back or scaling up this year.

K-9 handler honored by Elizabeth police Officer Frank Hurst’s years of service draw praise BY CHANCY J. GATLIN-ANDERSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

South Banner Street in downtown Elizabeth was lined with

police vehicles on May 25 to honor longtime K-9 Officer Frank Hurst and his three hardworking dogs, Radar, Bob and Carline. Hurst was awarded with a police vehicle that was no longer used by the Elizabeth Police Department for his dedication to the department, and his three dogs were sworn in as official police K-9s.

K-9 handler Hurst has been a K-9 handler for over 20 years and has served the Elizabeth Police Department since 2017. In addition to his work with the department, Hurst is also the president and cofounder of the nonprofit organization Bloodhound Man trackers Inc. SEE K-9 HANDLER, P7

First Friday art walks After a hiatus in 2020, the First Friday Art Walk returns to the Art District on Santa Fe on June 4 and continuing the first Friday of every month thereafter. The signature art walk in the Denver area, Santa Fe’s takes visitors into a variety of galleries, studios, lofts and alleys. The District is big, but most of the action is on Santa Fe Drive between 5th and 11th streets. Masks and social distancing still required — for now. Other art walks are in RiNo and on South Pearl Street.

Sweeping transportation bill goes to governor Fees expected to generate billions to tackle backlog of projects BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado lawmakers on June 2 sent Senate Bill 260, a sprawling transportation fee and spending measure, to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk, taking one of the most extensive steps in years toward paying for the state’s lagging infrastructure. Polis supported the measure and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was expected to sign it into law. The bill deals with more than $5 billion over the next decade and emphasizes an electric-vehicle future, as well as mass transit, including a potential Front Range passenger rail system. The legislation will use new fees on the purchase of gasoline and diesel fuel, and on deliveries and rideshare trips, to generate billions of dollars to tackle Colorado’s long list of transportation projects. It also directs hundreds of millions of state budget funds to transportation projects, while requiring the Colorado Department of Transportation to consider greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals when planning new construction. Senate Bill 260 was mostly backed by Democrats at the Capitol, who

claimed the legislation represented a fair, balanced approach to moving the state’s transportation system forward. House Speaker Alec Garnett, DDenver, called his bill “the best solution for transportation funding that the state has ever had in the past 10 years.” “This anticipates the future,” he said. “That’s what legislation should do in this state.” Republicans, however, see the measure as an attempt to skirt the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which requires voter approval for tax increases. Americans for Prosperity Colorado and Colorado Rising Action, two

conservative groups, have vowed to pursue a gas-tax decrease on the November 2022 ballot to counteract the new fees. Republicans were especially upset that the bill undoes a bipartisan deal reached in 2018 at the Legislature to ask voters to approve $1.3 billion in bonds for transportation projects. Senate Bill 260 cancels the ballot question. There are also GOP concerns about how the measure increases the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap, the limit on how much tax revenue the state can keep and spend, by $225 million after it was lowered by that amount (minus inflation) in a bipartisan deal in 2017. The measure was sent to Polis’ desk after winning final approval in the Colorado House on June 2 by a 40-24 vote with one lawmaker excused. The Senate then approved changes to the bill, advancing it to the governor’s desk. The new fees imposed by the bill include: A 2-cents-per-gallon fee on gasoline and diesel fuel starting in July 2022 that increases 1 cent every year up to 8 cents A 27-cent fee on deliveries, including those from Amazon, FedEx and Grubhub A 30-cents-per-trip fee on Uber and Lyft rides starting in 2022 that would increase based on the federal Con-

sumer Price Index. The fee would be cut in half for people carpooling in a rideshare, or riding in an electric vehicle. While the passage of Senate Bill 260 was expected since the measure’s introduction in early May, it represents a major win for Democrats who promised to use their majorities in the House and Senate to tackle a long-elusive issue. “I think this is something that should have been done years ago, if not decades ago,” said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat and prime sponsor of the transportation bill. “And we have a lot of catching up to do as a state and I think this is a huge down payment on getting us on a more sustainable path.” It’s not going to solve the problem, Fenberg said. But it will prevent the problem from continuing to worsen. A large portion of the bill’s spending —$380 million — will come from the $3.8 billion Colorado was given through the American Rescue Plan, the federal coronavirus aid measure passed earlier this year.

Parker Water to provide services to Castle Pines Residents approve water inclusion plan in special election BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With residents approving the Castle Pines North Metro District’s water inclusion plan in a special election in early May, the city now has until Jan. 3 to transition the community’s water and wastewater utilities to Parker Water & Sanitation. Residents approved the measure with 2,709 voting yes, and 120 voting against it. The issue does not pertain to all Castle Pines residents. The inclusion question was posed to the estimated 12,000 residents living west of I-25. In total, that equates to about 3,500 accounts that will be switched to the Parker Water system by the beginning of 2022. While the proposal calls for lower water and sewer bills for residents, the metro district is now required to pay an up-front cash payment of $34 million to Parker Water for

meter upgrades, infrastructure and the pipeline needed to connect users to the Parker Water system. Prior to the election, Parker Water CFO Steve Hellman said this inclusion plan to have Parker Water help is something many growing communities go through. As developers build subdivisions, Hellman said, they find cheap water-utility options in order to meet minimum standards to build and move on. Water services were being provided through smaller water utility services that were established by developers that avoided connecting to already-established utility providers in the area, Hellman said. Parker Water already provides utility services for Castle Pines residents living east of I-25. Under the plan, Parker Water will not assume any debt or current liabilities of the metro district, which will be required to pay off debt liabilities before the partnership becomes effective. Now that the issue of water has been sorted out, the metro district said in a notice to residents that it will spend the next eight months evaluating the community’s storm drainage system.

SUMMER

Creek Whitewater Park is open to floaters and boaters this year — just in time for a wet spring and some epic snowmelt. Grab a tube and head to the west end of 10th St., then walk upstream as far as your flip-flops will take you. Most folks get out around the baseball diamond to go back upstream and float the stretch again, but intrepid floaters can continue northeast through town — just make sure you get out before the Coors brewery. The best part? A post-tubing detour up Washington Street, to downtown Golden’s many excellent restaurants and pubs.

Film on the Rocks is back at Colorado’s most beloved concert venue, with a twist — most of this year’s 24 cult classics will be screened drive-in style in the lower parking lot, with Creation and Ship rocks as a backdrop. Just three films — “Casino Royale,” “Jurassic Park” and “The Princess Bride” — will be screened in the amphitheatre itself. Drive-in tickets are $59.50 per car (but hey, you get some Coke, popcorn and candy out of the deal), or $16 a person for the amphitheatre shows. Book ‘em soon, they sell out quick! DenverFilm.org Renaissance Festival If you’re the type who really prefers to inspect your swords before you buy them, don’t miss the return of the Colorado Renaissance Festival. Colorado’s celebration of all things magical and medieval occupies a purpose-built village in the enchanted forest outside Larkspur. Quaff a hearty ale and gobble a turkey leg beneath the pines while the kids make merry with legions of jugglers, fire-breathers, jousters and magicians. Over 200 crafters and artisans hawk their wares, from suits of armor to love potions. Not to be missed: the dungeon museum, featuring mannequins enduring shockingly innovative medieval torture devices. Ticket prices haven’t been announced yet. The fest runs eight weekends starting July 3.

The fair returns to the county fairgrounds on East Quincy Avenue, on the edge of the prairie, but close enough for suburbanites to enjoy rodeos, tractor pulls, and the Dock Dogs — highdiving dogs who plunge 40 feet into a pool. Don’t miss the 4-H barns filled with all creatures bovine, equine and porcine. And, of course, the ulti-

He is also an invaluable asset to NecroSearch International Inc., a 501(c)3 multidisciplinary team of specialists dedicated to assisting law enforcement in the location of clandestine graves and the documentation and recovery of evidence (including human remains), according to their website. Lastly, Hurst and his K-9 companions are involved with NCMEC, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Prior to the swearing-in of the dogs, Elizabeth Police Chief Melvin O. Berghahn shared the accomplishments of Hurst’s three faithful canines. “Radar has been involved in 31 murder conviction cases, helped locate countless lost or missing persons, and has saved many from the elements,” said Berghahn. He went on to praise Bob and Carline for their more recent accomplishments and their help in relieving Radar and in preparation for his retirement. “Bob, new to the team, has taken strides with training, learned from Radar, and has really takenththe lead for Frank and his team as Radar looks to retire,” Berghahn said. “Carline, also new to the team, has taken on the responsibility only a bloodhound can take.” He anticipates that Bob and Carline will be extremely valuable assets to the team moving forward.

Radar, Bob, and Carline were all sworn in as official police K-9s by Elizabeth Town Clerk and Administrative Services Director Michelle Oeser. Each dog was awarded with a police badge that Berghahn affixed to their collars. Hurst became teary as the sight of his long-loved dog, Radar, receiving his badge. Radar, being the oldest and most accomplished of Hurst’s dogs, is advanced in years and is nearing retirement. Hurst expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the Elizabeth Police Department in his short speech following the swearing-in. In a short interview with Lisa Hurst, wife of Frank Hurst, she explained how thrilled she was for her husband and the dogs to receive this honor. “Frank really deserves this,” she said. “He and the dogs are extremely dedicated.” Following the K-9 swearing-in ceremony, Hurst was given the keys and framed title to the offline police vehicle to use in his future police

A numeral, a letter, and unsure what’s better

hat’s 5G? What happened to 4G? Is 5G better than 4G? Is 6G next? Will the commercials for 6G be better than the commercials for 5G? The commercials QUIET for 5G give me a DESPERATION headache. Especially the ones that feature “Lily,” who stands behind a podium now because of internet trolling. By the end of the commercials I still don’t know what 5G is. Craig Marshall Someone in marSmith keting assumes we all keep up with this stuff. A year ago I wrote a column about new technologies that I don’t need. I don’t need any more of them. My internet is fast enough. My car doesn’t have a screen on the dash. My car doesn’t have cameras. It doesn’t drive itself, park itself, wash itself, or change

colors. An Italian automaker is experimenting with cars that can change colors like chameleons. You drive a red one today and a blue one tomorrow. At midnight it’s purple. The Japanese are a step ahead. They’re working on “mood” cars. Cars that will change colors according to the driver’s mood. You’ll be able to tell how the woman in the car next to you is feeling because her car will tell you. Does anyone draw with a pencil anymore? I draw with a 2B. It’s softer than a 2H. I never draw with a 4H. I know someone in 4H, but it has nothing to do with pencils. Lily probably makes 5K every time one of her 5G commercials is shown. It would take no time at all to find out what 5G is. But I’m stubborn. But there are a few technologies that amaze me. I have self-published two novels and a compilation of short stories this year.

Which reminds me of something Nietzsche said: “Every time I climb I am followed by a dog named Ego.” Once these books are written, proofed, and formatted, the files are forwarded to a print-ondemand company. Books are then printed as they are ordered. Right now. Self-publishing does have its drawbacks. Bookstores won’t carry the books and newspapers won’t review them. Additionally, they’re the kids at the card table on Thanksgiving: looked down on. It would be nice to have a publisher. Have someone else pick up the checks. But that someone else would want me to make changes I wouldn’t want to make, design the cover, make me go on promotional tours, sign autographs and talk about Faulkner at cocktail parties. Self-publishing accomplishes all I want. Sure, it would be nice to have big house behind one of my

books, but I don’t. There’s a film, “Sideways,” about a couple of men who have a dirty weekend in California’s wine country before one of them, Jack, gets married. His friend Miles is an author who spends the film sweating out his editor’s ability to have his book published. Ultimately, the book is rejected. Miles’s reaction is to drink from a spit bucket in a winery’s tasting room. I will never drink from a spit bucket. Or jump off a roof or stick my head in an oven because my book was rejected. There was a time when I thought I had it all. A bicycle, a baseball glove and a transistor radio. Each one gave me limitless pleasures. Those were the days, Mary Hopkin. What’s 5G?

Rehearsing success leads to success

hen we anticipate the future, do we see ourselves winning or succeeding? Or do we look into our future and see only losses or failure ahead? WINNING Some could see this as a simple WORDS difference between optimism and pessimism. However, it is more than that too. When we dream, we don’t typically dream of the fish we almost caught, the deal we almost won, Michael Norton or the meal we almost prepared. No, typically in our dreams we catch the fish, and it is bigger than we expected; we close the deal and it’s worth more in commission than any previous deal we had sold; and the dinner that we cooked was nothing short of culinary perfection, worthy of qualifying for a spot on a famous cooking show. Over the course of life, I have yet to find the person who shared a dream where they saw themselves shanking a drive on the

golf course, had a big outdoor event like a wedding getting rained out or canceled, or the company they were about to start becoming an immediate and utter failure. When those do occur, those are nightmares, not dreams. All visions of success are not limited to dreams. As a matter of fact, many people who have achieved their goals in life didn’t passively wait for success to happen to them, they went ahead and made success happen. And the way they contributed to their success was planning, preparing, and rehearsing ahead of time. A friend of mine was always swinging a golf club. Well, not really a golf club, but an imaginary golf club. We would be in the conference room having a conversation and he would stand and make the motions of swinging the club. He would do this in the airport, standing around outside of a restaurant as we waited to get in, or anywhere he had enough space to swing his arms. Whenever he had a few minutes, he would go through the motions as if he were playing a round. And if he knew

the course that he was going to be playing, he would envision the actual hole and mentally play it out in his head. He would tee off, hit his approach shot, and make the putt. He was rehearsing for success. Now I play a little golf too, or rather I attempt to play golf. And I have also made some imaginary golf swings. However, I am doing it just to stretch, not with the full intention of seeing the club strike the ball, the trajectory, and the soft landing. No, I am not rehearsing for success the way that my friend does, and it shows each time we play. Have you ever seen a pianist, guitarist, drummer, or other musician practicing without their instrument? Their eyes are usually closed as they play, but in their head, they see their hands moving across the keys or strings and hear the awesome and beautiful sounds that they are creating. They too are rehearsing for success. Will we always succeed or win by merely envisioning ourselves doing so? No, we will not. Will we increase our likelihood of suc-

ceeding and winning by seeing ourselves doing so? Yes, we will. You see, something happens to us as we allow ourselves to internalize the motions, the real and rehearsed drills and practice swings of life, they become part of what we call the winner’s attitude. If this pandemic has taught me anything, I have learned to keep dreaming, to keep seeing the next opportunity for success ahead of me, and to encourage others to do the same. The world will continue to change, that is fact. And the best thing we can do is to make sure we change our mindset to one of seeing ourselves succeeding and winning with each change that comes our way.

Don’t have a primary care doc? Get one!

s many Coloradans make health a focus amid COVID-19, one potentially overlooked priority is establishing a relationship — or re-engaging — GUEST with a primary care physician. COLUMN Whether you have employer coverage or benefits through Medicare or Medicaid, a primary care physician can be a key resource to help you maintain or improve your well-being, includ- Dr. Donna O’Shea ing to help prevent illness and detect diseases as early as possible. While the number of primary care physicians in Colorado is trending upwards, the state ranks 24th in the country at 256 providers per 100,000 residents, according to a report from America’s Health Rankings. Unfortunately, the number of Americans overall who have a relationship with a primary care physician is on the decline, with an estimated 25% of people lacking this type of ongoing relationship with a care professional. Reversing that trend is important, as research shows strengthening primary care may contribute to improved access to health-care services, better health outcomes, and a decrease in hospitalizations and emergency department visits. If you think you’re healthy enough that you don’t need a primary care physician — or maybe you’ve been rationalizing that you are too busy to establish a relationship with one — consider the following: Recognize the value of primary care Primary care physicians can be

a convenient and more affordable way for people to address their day-to-day health-care needs, such as annual checkups, preventive screenings, routine care and chronic condition management if needed. Typically, primary care physicians serve as a first contact for people as they navigate the health system — helping to identify risk factors for disease, more effectively manage chronic conditions and coordinate with specialists. All of this may add up to improved well-being and quality of life. In fact, people with a relationship with a primary care physician may be more likely to receive high-value care services, such as preventive screenings, and report better care access and experiences with the health-care system as compared to people without this type of care professional. The result is a 33% reduction in annual healthcare costs for people with access to a primary care physician. Find the right doctor and care setting Finding the right physician and care setting may be a challenge for many people, in part because some individuals may not be aware of their options or how to compare the quality and cost of health-care professionals. There is often wide variation in the quality and cost of health care services, even though there is often little or no corresponding improvement in health outcomes for services performed by higher-priced care professionals. To help find the right health-care professional, people can compare publicly available, online patient-posted reviews to help research primary care professionals in their local areas. For a more detailed analysis, some health plans offer online search capabilities that identify quality

care professionals, as determined by national standardized measures for performance and local geographic area benchmarks for cost-efficiency. More broadly, some health plans and hospitals make cost estimate information available online, including actual contracted rates for hundreds of “shoppable” medical services. When it comes to evaluating the right setting for care, a doctor’s office is not the only way to access inperson care. For instance, people enrolled in some Medicare Advantage plans may have access to programs that provide annual health and wellness visits from the convenience and privacy their homes. Go virtual Smartphones and computers are making it possible to access various types of care virtually, including with local physicians who are increasingly embracing this technology to “see” patients. This is especially important amid COVID-19, as many people continue to practice social distancing. There’s been a more than 10-fold increase in the use of virtual care since the emergence of COVID-19, including for urgent,

preventive and chronic condition management. Other studies have shown that some people who see a doctor virtually report no difference in the quality of the visit, compared to an in-person appointment, and that some patients vastly preferred a virtual experience, due to the convenience and the elimination of travel time. More broadly, a growing number of Americans are relying on virtual care for urgent care needs and remote patient monitoring programs to help manage more serious illnesses or chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. People can check with their health plan or local care professional to determine what types of virtual resources may be available to them. To help make health a priority in 2021, don’t underestimate the potential impact of developing a relationship with a primary care physician as part of a holistic approach to maintaining and improving your well-being. Dr. Donna O’Shea is the chief medical officer of population health management for UnitedHealthcare.

Mount-aining social distance on trails

A group of friends pose for a photo along a trail in Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks.

With mask mandates lifted statewide, public health officials urge caution outdoors BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

he era of coronavirus restrictions seems to be coming to a close. Nevertheless, local public health officials urged caution when asked how to properly practice trail etiquette in a summer that will still feature the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, many public health officials are urging caution when visiting trails and open spaces in the coming weeks. The pandemic is far from over in Colorado, which on May 18 reported a case rate of 20 per 100,000 people — the highest in the U.S. at the time of the report. Jefferson County Public Health Public Affairs Manager Ashley Sever said that despite the move to “level clear,” JCPH was still recommending that people wear masks if they’re in large crowds or uncertain of the vaccination status of those around them. “We’ve moved to level clear,” said Sever. “We still recommend when anybody is around people who don’t have a good vaccination status, if they don’t know, or if they know they’re unvaccinated or in larger crowds, things like that, we certain-

ly want people to continue to take prevention measures.” Dr. Bernadette Albanese, an epidemiologist with Tri-County Health Department, added that while getting a vaccine is likely the best thing to do to avoid getting sick, there are increased risk factors when in heavily trafficked public spaces that would compel mask wearing. “Getting a vaccine is probably the number one thing you can do to keep healthy,” said Albanese. “When you’re outdoors with a lot of people you don’t know — you don’t know their infection status — and you want to put yourself in the best position to remain healthy, how about a

mask? “I don’t think it’s hard to do,” Albanese continued. “And it’ll protect you. And also protect others.” Sever added that some examples of high-risk situations could include being outdoors with people who are being boisterous or have recently vacationed. “When you’re in a higher-risk scenario,” said Sever, “like with someone who recently vacationed, or if people are yelling or screaming or singing and you’re in closer proximity with those people, that’s another reason to wear a mask outdoors. It’s in those higher-risk scenarios where wearing a mask outdoors is still

probably a good idea.” Enessa Janes, Arvada’s deputy director of the Department of Vibrant Communities and Neighborhoods, said that she recommended people continue wearing masks and practice social distancing in parks and on trails, despite the change to “level clear.” Janes added that in situations where it is impossible to socially distance, using one’s best judgment should suffice. “For our part we’re really encouraging people to continue to use (masks),” said Janes, “and to follow CDC guidelines and not visit the parks if they’re feeling sick. “There will probably be situations where you can’t always keep six feet social distancing with passing,” Janes continued. “In those cases, step off the trail if you need to, but please don’t step off so far that you disturb the natural environment or disrupt the habitat. Just be as respectful to other walkers and hikers as possible.” Janes added that she anticipated continued high usage of open spaces, and thanked the maintenance teams that have been working to keep public parks clean throughout the pandemic. “Our trails and parks have gotten so much use over the course of the pandemic,” said Janes,” and can continue to get that use because of how hard our teams have been working to keep the parks looking clean and ready for increased use. We’re really anticipating the same level of use this summer — if not more.”

5 things to know: Improved water safety could save lives Swim school business owners give tips for keeping kids safe this summer BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Here’s something parents might not know: Drowning is responsible for more deaths among children aged 1-4 than any other cause except congenital anomalies, or birth defects. “Drowning doesn’t look like drowning the way it’s portrayed in the movies,” said Lindsey Talaga, owner of the Goldfish Swim School Centennial East location. “Drowning is actually often silent with no frantic waving or yelling.” The process of drowning can begin in mere seconds. That’s why it’s important to take precautions around pools and other bodies of water where kids swim and play. Talaga and Wendy Skaalerud, owner of the Big Blue Swim School’s Centennial location, shared some tips to keep families safe as summer break begins. Drowning a common emergency Every day, on average, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, two

are children aged 14 or younger. Among children aged 1-14, fatal drowning remains the second-leading cause of unintentional, injuryrelated death — behind motor vehicle crashes, the CDC says. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency-department care for

to always jump into the pool — never dive, Skaalerud said.

‘Never swim alone’ Never swim alone, Talaga said. Wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket, especially when swimming in lakes and oceans where water conditions can be uncertain and unpredictable, she added. “Designate a water guardian who keeps a vigilant eye on the swimmers, and be sure to change guardians every 30 minutes so he/she is alert and refreshed,” Talaga said. Always keep a watchful eye on children and remember that “lifeguards are not babysitters,” Skaalerud said. “In a busy pool, lifeguards are watching so many swimmers, they could miss a struggling child. Parents need to always, always be watching a child near or in the water,” Skaalerud added.

Learn CPR Talaga advises parents to get CPR-certified. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and is a lifesaving technique that’s useful in emergencies, such as a heart attack or near drowning. “Being prepared — and trained — for an emergency is one of the best water safety tips out there. At least one person in your family should be CPR-certified, with rescue breathing,” Talaga said. “It’s a relatively quick and easy class, and it’s offered by community centers and other local groups. It could save a life.”

Talk through rules Talaga recommends parents talk to their kids about water safety and establish family rules and expectations. “Rules like no running, no diving in shallow water and no dunking are important, and you can create additional rules specific to your children and their swim abilities, like no swimming in the deep end, or breaks every hour,” Talaga said. Parents should instruct children

About businesses Big Blue Swim School celebrated the opening of its Centennial pool, a franchise location, on May 17. Goldfish Swim School Centennial East opened in May, and its first day of swim lessons and water safety instruction was May 18. Goldfish Swim School Centennial East is also a franchise location. Goldfish Swim School Centennial East sits at 6340 S. Parker Road in Aurora, just outside of east Centennial. Big Blue Swim School Centennial is located at 20153 E. Smoky Hill Road in Centennial.

Denver ends capacity limits on large outdoor events THE COLORADO SUN

Denver public health officials on June 1 retired capacity limits for large outdoor events, including for two of the city’s most popular venues: Coors Field and Red Rocks. “These venues now have no capacity limits, distancing requirements or other restrictions,” the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment said. The Colorado Rockies said on June 2 that they will allow fullcapacity crowds of 50,000 beginning on June 28. They’re calling that date “Opening Day 2.0.”

A new public health order that takes effect runs through July 1 also removes regulations for indoor events up to 1,999 people. Indoor events of 2,000 or more still require approval from DDPHE. The changes in Denver come after the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on May 31 dropped restrictions for large indoor gatherings. The Denver regulations, however, still supersede any changes to the COVID-19 rules coming from the state.

Affordable housing breaks ground in Lone Tree Multifamily property will have 67 units east of RidgeGate Station BY DENNIS HUSPENI DENVER GAZETTE

Most who know metro Denver know “affordable housing” and “Lone Tree” have rarely appeared in the same sentence together. Koelbel and Company and Coventry Development Corp. changed that on May 25 as officials broke ground for a 67-unit multifamily property that will be the first affordable housing project in Lone Tree. It’s east of the Regional Transportation District’s Ridgegate Station, on the southeast corner of I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway. It’s also the first apartments being built on the east side of I-25 in RidgeGate, but not the last as construction has begun in earnest there. With the “beep beep” of bulldozers and earthmovers east of the project site — getting ready for new single-family residential homes — elected officials and

company representatives celebrated the development, which is expected to welcome residents in 15 months. “The seed of an idea for affordable housing was planted 21 years ago for RidgeGate,” said Keith Simon, executive vice president and director of development for Coventry. “That’s when we presented our vision. The detailed plans for development on the east side came three years ago. We’re going to do a minimum of 350 units. … It’s an essential element for sustainability and growth.” Coventry is the master developer. Simon credited RTD for extending the light rail down to RidgeGate. “Everyone likes to talk about T.O.D. — transit-oriented development,” Simon said. “I would talk D.O.T — development oriented transit. We painted a vision for

RTD about this compact community that would need transit accessible to support it.” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet added: “We could not have asked for a better project to come to Lone Tree. Our vision to complete the community is housing for everyone. It’s an important piece of that overall puzzle.” “The two complaints I hear most from residents are traffic and the cost of housing,” Millet said. “You all confronted both as you walked Jackie Millet, in today.” Lone Tree Mayor “We are thrilled we have the opportunity to bring to market much-needed affordable housing opportunities to residents in this high-need area of Lone Tree,” said Carl Koelbel, chief operating officer. Koelbel applied for, and received, a highly competitive Colorado Housing and Finance

‘Our vision to complete the community is housing for everyone. It’s an important piece of that overall puzzle.’

Authority award to help fund the project. Construction lending was provided by Wells Fargo. Rents will be adjusted for tenants who qualify, from 30% to 80% of the area median income. That could be about $500 a month for a one-bedroom or about $1,300 for two-bedroom units, depending on the tenants’ income. “There’s no market risk. As we know the units will be 100% occupied and there will probably be 30 to 40 people on a waiting list,” Koelbel said. The city of Lone Tree supported the construction by waiving the building permit fee, he said. Alliance Construction is the general contractor for the development, which will include a fitness center, community room and onsite leasing. It also has one parking space per unit, as opposed to one per bedroom as most multifamily developments not near transit would have. “This is an important day for Lone Tree,” Koelbel said. “Yes, these are the first affordable units in Lone Tree. But we know they won’t be the last.” For more stories like this, subscribe at denvergazette.com.
