The Denver Union Station Project Authority (DUSPA) will hold a public meeting tomorrow — that’s Thursday, December 17 — to provide an update on the project, to present a design update and to answer questions. The meeting will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. at RTD’s offices, 1600 Blake Street, in Rooms T&D. More info on the project Web site.
Also tomorrow, Denver Planning will hold the first of two “Office Hours” sessions to answer questions about the New Zoning Code. Tomorrow’s session will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. in Room 4.I.3 of the Webb Building , 201 West Colfax Ave. (If you arrive after 5 p.m., you’ll need to enter on Court Street and proceed through security with personal identification.) If you can’t make that one, the second session will be on Friday, December 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Room 4.F.6/4.G.2 of the Webb Building.
These sessions follow the heavily attended November office hours and the City Council/Planning Board Listening Sessions, at which more than 430 citizens asked questions and shared opinions on the New Code. This input is being used to inform the final version of the New Code that will be sent to City Council early next year.

Judy is thrilled at the level of participation from District 9 residents and business owners. The District’s heavy representation at public meetings, e-mails, phone calls, letters and Website interactions will all help ensure that the New Code is transparent, user friendly, and supportive of neighborhoods.
