Angling For A Place to ParkWhile parking in Denver can seem con-

fusing and frustrating, a Department of Public Works planner says the city’s Stra-tegic Parking Plan is intended to help both residents and the city better understand how parking resources are managed.

“The Strategic Parking Plan is a frame-work document that explains the city’s philosophy for on and off-street parking management through decision-making and resource allocation,” says Cindy Patton, Se-nior Transportation Planner for DPW. “The vision directs us to manage parking as a valued public asset, make decisions based on an area or location’s specific context, and integrate participation from representative stakeholders before applying management strategies.”

The full 70-page parking plan is online at: https://www.denvergov.org/Portals/681/documents/The_Strategic_Parking_Plan_Final.pdf. Those who do not have computer access can contact the city’s 3-1-1 Commu-nications Center for more information.

In addition to the plan itself, DPW has a separate web site at http://www.parksmartdenver.com/ aimed at providing a quick reference for motorists. There is even more detailed information on “Com-mon Non-Posted Parking Ordinances” at http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/681/documents/2web%20site%20flyer.pdf.

And, the entire Denver Parking Code is at http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/681/documents/parking%20enforcement%20code%20for%20website.pdf

More complex than plugging a meter

So it appears that parking can become more complex than just pulling up to the curb and following the posted sign or drop-

ping quarters into a me-ter. Patton says DPW has responsibility to actively manage all curb space throughout the city.

“This space can be used for on-street parking, bi-

cycle facilities, loading zones, and other purposes, but it is limited in its abundance,” she says. “Our team continuously works to provide additional education on parking rules and regulations through materials like the Strategic Parking Plan and direct outreach.

“We encourage stakeholders to read the document because it provides a thorough explanation of how the city is working closely with constituent groups to man-age its limited parking assets in a growing, changing city.”

Because of varying locations and needs, there is no longer a “one size fits all” ap-proach to parking allocations and rules. For example, the creation of a bicycle lane on 15th Street downtown resulted in a loss

of on-street parking. Patton says there are worthy benefits to the change.

“We know that on-street inventory in high demand areas like downtown is very limited,” she says. “In the Strategic Parking Plan, we recognized that our most attain-able tool is to reduce demand through vari-ous transportation options. The addition of new bicycle facilities, car sharing options, and public transportation initiatives all pro-vide new options for users and reduce the demand for on-street parking.”

Patton also cites the replacement of par-allel parking with diagonal parking on the east side of Detroit Street between Colfax and 17th Avenue as another effort to bal-ance demand and space.

Even with city planners promoting higher density and developers constructing multi-tenant buildings with less than one space per resident, parking woes have not reached the level of eastern U.S. and many European countries. Homeowners actually buy street parking space in some locations. In London and Rome, private automobiles are prohib-ited in the central city. Also in Rome, it is not unusual to see cars triple parked and parked on sidewalks.

‘Pay and display’ a non-starterAs reported in a City Matters View From

the Road column last July in the Greater Park Hill News, parking meters are rare in most of Britain. Many communities have

MLK Marade Draws Record Crowd, Inspires Calls For Action

By Cara DeGetteGPHN Editor

More than 30,000 people came out to celebrate the 86th birthday of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Gathering in City Park on Jan. 19, the massive crowd marched down Colfax to Civic Center Park across from the State Capitol in this year’s Marade. Organizers and participants were particularly motivated to action this year by the recent killings of black men at the hands of police, including Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. and Eric Garner in New York City. Many wore T-shirts with the messages “BLACK LIVES MATTER” and “I CAN’T BREATHE.” They chanted “HANDS UP, DON’T SHOOT,” and “THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED!” The Marade was followed by a conference at the historic McNichols Building in Civic Center Park, which was attended by hun-dreds of activists highlighting plans to step up pressure on elected officials and commu-nity leaders with the goal to attain equality for all.

It’s Not Too Late To Reroute I-70Dear Editor:

In the January 2015 edition of the Greater Park Hill News (page 6), Amy Ford, Direc-tor of Communications for the Colorado Department of Transportation, advocates for tearing down the bridge/viaduct on I-70 between Brighton Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard, and replacing it with an enor-mously expensive, 10-lane cap and cover. The headline Ms. Ford’s article is “CDOT: Much Work Remains For I-70 East Project.”

On the opposite page (page 7), Thad Tecza, Senior Instructor Emeritus with the Department of Political Science at the Uni-versity of Colorado at Boulder, ably refutes Ms. Ford (“CDOT is Right: I-70 Expansion Far From a Done Deal).”

You may read both articles at http://great-erparkhill.org/2015/01/cdot-much-work-remains-70-east-project/.

CDOT’s current funding plan is jeop-ardized by the potential loss of $170M to $270M of SB228 funds because of the TA-BOR requirement of returning money to the people if the revenues to the state exceed predetermined levels.

In short, CDOT doesn’t have the funds to assure that its trench/lid concept could be completed. There are serious environmental issues (noise and air pollution) which will probably not pass muster under the Na-tional Environmental Policy Act.

Although CDOT claims that it is too late to consider the sensible alternative of tear-ing down the bridge and removing I-70 from Denver entirely, rerouting through traffic along I-270/I-76, it is not too late to do so.

A Bit More About That Baby GrandI am the gifted and talented teacher at

Stedman Elementary at 29th and Dexter. Our assistant principal, Hannah Kehn, wrote last month about how Stedman in-herited a baby grand piano. The following is the full circle:

Jerry Jean Hale, a permanent Park Hill fixture, bequeathed her baby grand piano to Stedman Elementary upon her death last March, with a well-attended funeral at Fair-mount. As it happens, Miss Moore was my piano teacher growing up. She, my parents and neighbors in Wheat Ridge, all became close and attended the symphony together for years. In her forties, she married Russell Hale. I became her Denver Public Schools’ colleague toward the end of her formal teaching career.

Jerry Jean hailed from Kansas as the only child of a middle-class African-American family. She lived and studied music, art and opera in Paris, then found her way to Den-ver. She taught at Barrett and Southmoor elementaries up until her retirement. Once retired and up to her death, Jerry Jean trav-elled the world and continued to teach and inspire those around her.

Jerry Jean Moore Hale was all class, and now we at Stedman will benefit from her continued generosity. Here is to a life well lived.

Tyrannosaurus Rex of the FlatsThe Reddish Egret is a long-legged, long-necked wader of coastal regions. Audubon notes that this bird, which is classified as threatened, is more tied to salt water than any of our other herons or egrets. Author Pete Dunne, who nicknamed the Reddish Egret the “Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Flats,” has a fine description of the angry-looking bird: “Moves like a mad linebacker, crouching and charging across the flats, leaping vertically with wings spread, turning, rearing its neck, jabbing left … right … then charging off again, with a bouncing, foot-pounding gait.” This Reddish Egret was photographed in Cozumel, Mexico, by Park Hill resident Mark Silverstein.

Are your basement bedrooms up to code?

a centralized municipal parking lot. Most areas rely on a “pay and display” ticket or time stamp device on the dashboard to show when the car was parked. Denver officials gave up on such a scheme in Cherry Creek North.

Patton says the DPW works closely with the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP) and parking facility operators to demon-strate that downtown parking need not be intimidating to visitors.

“We manage roughly 3,000 on-street me-ters but there are more than 45,000 off-street parking spaces available for public use. Many of these spaces are covered and pro-vide secure parking for guests,” she notes. The DDP website hosts an interactive parking guide to help visitors find public parking lots and ga-rages. In addition, the Park Now Denver program helps driv-ers recognize public parking options in Downtown Denver that guarantee a re-liable and consistent parking experience.”

Multi-level park-ing facilities, either above or below ground, are “incredibly ex-pensive,” says Patton, and city officials are reluctant to commit funding until the need is absolutely clear and other options are not available.

As examples, she notes that Denver has built public parking garages at the Botanic Gardens, the Justice Center, and Cultural Center in recent years. She says structured parking costs about $30,000 per space and underground facilities can cost even more.

“The Strategic Parking Plan directs us

to maximize existing parking inventory before adding additional supply,” she says. “Through data analysis of some of the city’s highest demand areas, we know there is a lot of capacity to be gained through better management of our existing supply.”

It all adds up to a nice chunk of change

Currently, all parking revenue feeds into the City’s general fund to support delivery of city services. Revenue from citations and mater collections is about $41 million, which represents about four percent of the

city’s annual $1 bil-lion General Fund.

“The Strategic Parking Plan is a national example of a parking-specific framework that works to both edu-cate, provide useable tools, and reflect citywide policies and goals,” Patton says. “For example, plan recommendations have yielded several transformational projects such as the Car Share Rules and Regulations, which

enabled car rental operators to enter the Denver market and provide another trans-portation option.”

Patton says the plan is also important be-cause it spells out a commitment to involve stakeholder groups in the parking manage-ment decision-making process. Consider-ing various interests and perspectives helps result in a more balanced outcome.

Patton and Parking Operations Manager Sean Mackin have been presenting the Stra-tegic Parking Plan at community meetings throughout the city.

City Park Waste to Energy System ApprovedBy Greg DavisCity Park Alliance

Denver City Council unanimously ap-proved Council Bill 0941 on Monday, Dec. 15, granting a certificate of designation to operate a waste to energy system at the Denver Zoo. As part of that vote, council members recognized the need for a City Park Task Force moving forward.

A group of neighbors, led by the Regis-tered Neighborhood Organization City Park Friends and Neighbors (CPFAN), attended the Denver City Council meeting that day to express their concern over the certificate of designation for the Denver Zoo Waste to Energy System. Representatives from CP-FAN made several well-stated points related to land use, zoning, and public safety. The one overarching theme was that the setting and visual aesthetic of the Waste to Energy building in City Park was not specifically considered in the public process.

The discussion at the City Council pro-ceedings did not focus on the validity of the waste to energy concept. While concerns were raised about safety risks related to the gasification process, the main topic was that of protection of the park aesthetic.

Louis Plachowski, speaking on behalf of CPFAN, noted that the waste to energy sys-tem was presented to the public as a concept, but that public notification did not focus on the scale and orientation of the structure within City Park. He further stated that the concept should have been presented to the

public as a part of a neighborhood plan as it is a modification to City Park.

A transplant from New York City, Pla-chowski suggested that such an oversight in design would never have happened in Cen-tral Park, and Denver can do better. Resi-dent Hank Bootz, reiterated this sentiment by noting that the Denver Zoo and City Park are in a partnership, and the installa-tion and aesthetics of new structures should have been more specifically considered in a public process.

Nancy Francis, a resident living near the park, followed with a discussion of whether gasification was an appropriate industrial land use in City Park and that approval of an industrial use with limited oversight was not appropriate. Supporting this concept of limited oversight, she stated that although the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment did public notice the air emissions permit, the CPHDE cannot deny a permit based on land use, and local deci-sions on land use should have been better presented to the public on a local level.

A ‘yes’ vote was obviousOne thing that could be gleaned from

the unanimous approving vote of the City Council was that the Dec. 15 session was not the time and place to debate the con-struction of the Waste to Energy facility. The building was already constructed and the bill in question determined whether to provide a certificate of designation approv-ing the operation of the industrial facility.

All of the legal obligations for permitting and public notice were met. A legal deter-mination followed that the land use was ap-propriate.

The Denver Charter prescribes that city parks can only be used for “park uses,” and the gasification system qualifies as a “park use” as the system will only use waste gen-erated within the park and will not accept secondary waste.

Given that all of the legal obligations were met, it was obvious that this was going to be a ‘yes’ vote. There is no doubt that this is an exciting and innovative facility. Den-ver Zoo CEO Shannon Block noted how the facility, which will convert sustainable

energy from waste through biomass gasifi-cation, will help reach the goal of maintain-ing a zero waste zoo by 2025. Councilman Albus Brooks recognized the potential to reduce 1.5 million pounds of waste per year. Councilwoman Susan Shepherd noted how Denver’s goal of reducing hauled waste by 20 percent could practically be met with this one facility.

However, for the most part, neighbor-hood commenters were not there to pub-licly comment on the concept of waste gas-ification. They were there because they felt shortchanged by the public process whereby

Please call me at 303-388-0918 or email [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to help. We are here Monday-Thursday from 9-3. Remem-ber your donations are tax deductible!

Pantry needs: We always need reuseable bags, diapers/pull-ups (size 4,5, and 6 need-ed most), baby wipes and feminine hygiene

items. We also always need kid-size tooth-brushes and kid-friendly toothpaste.

If you are feeling industrious, you can save us a little time by making hygiene kits. For example, bundle of a couple of razors and a travel-size shaving cream, or put to-gether kits of a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss.

Another idea, use quart size zip lock bags to divvy out powdered laundry detergent then write the directions in sharpie on the bag itself, for example, “1/4 cup per load.” We do the same here with large pet food do-nations. If any of this appeals to you, come on down Monday or Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

GREAT SELECTION OF ORGANICCLOTHES AND ECO-FRIENDLY TOYS

FOR THE NEW YEAR.

Where the Water Is Likely To Flow

Last month, I asked you to take a trip with me to an imaginary new “Montclair Creek Town Centre” just southwest of Monaco and Colfax.

I referred to some mapping of “Potential Inundation Areas” (AKA “floodprone ar-eas” or “floodplains”), recently made pub-licly available by Denver Wastewater. So, at the risk of exposing you to more of the left side of brain, let’s explore that mapping.

This month’s column includes two maps. They are part of Denver’s 2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan. The first map displays the 1 percent (100-year) risk of flooding at the Town Centre’s site. The technical information in this first map guided my “creek and pond bubble” concept for the proposal.

Remember that the Montclair Drainage Basin is the largest storm drainage basin in Denver that does not have a surface drain-ageway.

I have spent plenty of time in flooded communities throughout Colorado (and elsewhere, including Waveland, Miss. right after Hurricane Katrina) in my 35-plus years as a floodplain manager. I know viscerally what a community looks and feels like when it has just experienced the loss of some of its citizens and the loss of some of its trea-sures – whether natural or constructed by humans. On a few occasions, I met people

who believed that Mother Nature had tried to take their community’s soul.

While there are places along Montclair Creek that could see more than 6 feet of wa-ter in the event of a major flood, by and large a 1 percent flood would primarily endanger buildings and any cars driving through low places. However, we can suffer awful conse-quences when we presume too much about floods.

Every time I drive north of I-70 on Colora-do Boulevard and turn onto Vasquez Boulevard on my way to I-270, I have a flood trag-edy flashback. As I cross the train tracks near US Bank, I am re-

minded of a brave police officer who lost his life there, many years ago, rescuing a drowning woman.

Bet you didn’t know that there was a creek or a floodplain there! And, ironically, most of the upstream watershed of that creek is in Park Hill.

At the end of the locker room meeting of the TV cops on Hill Street Blues, and Ser-geant Phil Esterhaus reminds all of us, “Let’s be careful out there!” With that admonition in mind, the map below should illustrate how the intersection of 14th Avenue and Kearney can literally swallow cars during an intense rain.

Friends and neighbors, please be careful there.

Being both a planner and an engineer, I feel compelled to place the map above in a larger geographic context. The Montclair Creek watershed extends from Fairmont Cemetery to City Park and on to Riverside Cemetery along the South Platte River.

Another map is the best way I can con-vey that bigger context. Again, I am taking advantage of engineering information made available by Denver Public Works. The map below shows both branches of Montclair Creek, with the colors representing the depth of flooding during a 1 percent flood event.

The area on the map extends from 6th Av-enue to 17th Avenue, east-west from Que-bec Street approximately to Steele Street. Our Town Centre site is a little east of the middle of the map, southwest of the inter-section of Monaco and Colfax.

I think you’ll agree that our site is not the only place that jumps out visually, but it is certainly one of the most prominent of

those places. It jumps out both in terms of the colors that represent flood depth and in terms of the width of the area subject to 1 percent flood risk. Check out some of the other places as well.

Because there is a lot going on right now in the watersheds of Greater Park Hill, next month I want to look at the bigger picture, checking in on activity in the Montclair Creek Watershed, the Park Hill Basin, and the Westerly Creek watershed.

The maps now available from Denver Public Works make it far easier for me to show you where the water is likely to flow the next time it rains really hard.

And those are precisely the places I would love to see turn into “Blueways” – part of a neighborhood that is ready for a big dose of green infrastructure.

“We believe in the inherent dignity of hu-man life. We believe no one is more aware of that inherent worth than those that society has attempted to dehumanize, marginalize and oppress.

“The American ideal of equality and jus-tice for all has thus far not been realized, and our aim is to make that particular myth more the reality for all people. Only when the people come together through shared struggle, empowered education, and fo-cused strategy will we attain liberation and healing for our communities.

the citing, access, and location of the gasifi-cation building were not properly vetted. To this claim, City Council members noted that RNOs were informed, obligations for public notifications were met, and the commenters missed their chance to speak on topics re-lated to the building’s design.

Neighbors had been ‘pushed aside’The concerns raised about process and

aesthetic did not impact the Council’s vote, however, they were recognized. Council-man Brooks noted that his support for the bill was “support with an asterisk.” In a nar-rative where he described that he felt neigh-bors had “been pushed aside,” Brooks noted that the city needs to think of things more holistically.

He expressed his broad support for the creation of a City Park Task force to address concerns with City Park more proactively. This was in line with public commenters, who all expressed a need for a City Park Task Force or Advisory Council, similar to the Denver Botanic Gardens Neighborhood Advisory Committee.

Brooks also described a City Park Task Force from 1997 as a potential model mov-ing forward. This sentiment was echoed by several Council. Councilwoman Shepherd expressed her support for this solution as a method to more effectively “get at the back end.” She then proceeded to question Den-ver Zoo CEO Block to reaffirm commitment to the community to improve the aesthetic of the zoo’s south side.

Block said the zoo would both commit significant financial resources and engage the public in the process to improve the aesthetics of the facilities adjacent to Duck Lake.

Time to engage neighborsIt was clear that neighbors and CPFAN

representatives were not happy with the citing and visual integration of the waste to energy system within historic City Park.

While they may not have received their specific desired outcome, the request to cre-ate a neighborhood advisory committee was granted. A City Park Task Force or Advisory Council could be a solution to “get at the back end.”

If anything could be gleaned from this process, it is that the Denver City Council is listening, and now is the time to engage neighbors on how to better plan, develop, and preserve City Park. City Park Alliance is excited about any efforts to preserve the his-toric park experience at City Park and more thoughtfully evaluate projects in the park. We look forward to whatever role we play in such an advisory committee or task force.

With the pending improvements to the aesthetic of the Denver Zoo’s southern bor-der with City Lake, it seems that there is no need to search for that first topic for discus-sion.

By Angela WilliamsColorado State Representative

As the nation is gripped in the passion of a fresh new justice movement lashing out against the atrocities of police brutality, there is a grand opportunity for Colorado to take a stand and make a difference.

The tensions between law enforcement agencies and local communities have never been higher in recent memory. That’s so unfortunate since the vast majority of our men and women who protect us do so with honor and a noble sense of service. More importantly, in order to maintain safe and livable communities, we have no choice but to find a way to bridge these differences.

However, we must first face some trou-bling truths about Colorado. Not unlike Ferguson, Staten Island, Cleveland or else-where, we’ve struggled for some time with similar challenges here in Denver and be-yond.

Colorado has some of the highest arrest rates for African Americans in the nation, according to a recent USA Today analysis. In Denver, the arrest rate per 1,000 non-black residents was just under 25 percent during 2011-2012. Yet, for black residents – who represent 10 percent of the city’s popu-lation – the arrest rate was an eye-popping 91 percent.

The city of Arvada ranks first in the state for its number of black arrests: only 1 per-cent of the population is African American (or 962 residents according to the latest Census numbers). Still, nearly half of those residents were incarcerated. Over half of Boulder’s black residents faced arrest in 2011-2012.

We should not tolerate these statistics in Colorado. They should not represent who we are, regardless of color or background. As Chair of the Colorado Black Caucus this

is why I, along with Colorado Latino Caucus Chair Joe Salazar (D-Thornton) and other legislators are creating solutions that will make Colorado better for everyone who calls it home.

There has been some conversation about the universal introduction of body cameras to policing as President Obama committed

federal funds for devices that could bring some relief to thousands of communities nationwide.

But while we support such measures, we also realize that’s a small first step. Body cameras can still be turned off.

Mix of strategiesWe need an aggressive and multi-faceted

approach. The National Urban League’s re-cently released 10-point plan is one such thoughtful approach as it offers a tangible mix of strategies that could strike the right balance between stressed police depart-ments and frustrated communities of color.

Some of these approaches could be useful right here in Colorado, whether its manda-tory use of body cameras, implementing a new community policing model, revising deadly force policies or comprehensive re-training of all police officers.

There is also a growing need for indepen-dent and ongoing reviews of police reports that include thorough demographic break-downs. There must also be recognition that some police officers involved in miscon-duct are lying on their reports, so we must implement citizen-driven evaluations that encourage a fair and transparent process.

This is where we can institutionalize and aggressively enhance stakeholder interface between commanders, beat supervisors and community leaders so we can collaborative-ly devise best-practice policing strategy for neighborhoods in need.

That may present an opportunity for Colorado to lead the nation in completely revamping the grand jury process of alleged police misconduct as we know it. Our crimi-nal justice system rightly creates a system where local prosecutors work closely with their law enforcement partners to keep our neighborhoods safe. But, as a way to elimi-nate bias and favoritism, prosecutors should

be completely removed from a grand jury proceeding involving police misconduct and brutality. Instead, court systems should consider independent special prosecutors and concerned community advocates.

A defining momentLastly, Colorado should become the first

state in the nation to require a four-year col-lege degree for every police officer on the state and local level.

Only 1 percent of police departments in the country require a four-year college de-gree. That’s unfortunate. There are so many highly regarded academic institutions in Colorado that could easily partner with law enforcement agencies and providing the in-tellectual foundation officers need to under-stand the cultural, political and economic conditions of the communities they patrol.

What we need is an ambitious and ho-listic framework that attacks the very core of racial profiling and addresses a vein of bigotry infecting police culture.

But we must also find a way for protesters to now devise sophisticated and necessary political strategies that will transition this new movement into the critical work of partnering with their elected officials, orga-nizing political action committees, drafting laws and ultimately crafting the policy need-ed to positively reshape law enforcement.

A defining moment is upon us. We can either let it pass and allow young, unarmed people of color to die - or, we can actually do what it takes to rebuild a lasting, workable trust between our police officers and our fellow black, Latino and other underserved residents. That time is now.

In giving Mr. Young the award, the awards committee issued the following:

“One unrelenting, effective champion whom our military veterans can count on is Rear Admiral (Retired) Dick Young. A staunch, pragmatic advocate for veterans returning home, Dick heads the Colorado Committee of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). His herculean and tireless efforts have made substantial improvements and impacts in his commu-nity, the state of Colorado, and our nation’s military.

“Retired Rear Admiral Young, now 83 and going strong, has been an active vol-unteer throughout his entire adult life. He served 35 years in the U.S. Navy, both Ac-tive and Reserve, and was awarded the Le-gion of Merit Award three times, one of the highest peacetime awards a Navy Reservist can receive. In further recognition of his superior service, Admiral Young received the National Navy League’s John Paul Jones Inspirational Leadership Award in 1988, the only Naval Reservist to ever receive the Na-tional League’s highest award.

“Since becoming the Colorado State ESGR Chair in 2009, Admiral Young has devoted over 8700 hours in organizing, leading, and running Colorado’s ESGR. He built the organization from a small handful of Volunteers to a force of over 210, the larg-est ESGR State Committee in the country. This powerhouse team raised the bar from 1300 Volunteer hours in 2008 to 13,500 in 2013, all helping our military members.”

Biomedics Coming To Manual High

Kaiser Permanente has made a three-year, $650,000 grant to Denver Public Schools to help build a college and career-readiness pipeline in the biomedical field. The pro-gram is designed to prepare students for success in an industry that projects sig-nificant growth in Denver over the next 10 years. The initial goal is to reach more than

2,000 students throughout the course of the three-year grant.

Students participating in the program will have access to a va-riety of career pathway options, including preparation to enter four-year college programs. Stu-dents may also choose programs that will enable them to enter the health care workforce immedi-ately after high school. This op-tion provides the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree and certification in certain medical professions, including Certified Nurse’s Assistant (CNA), Li-censed Practical Nurse (LPN), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Physical Therapist Aide (PTA).

Biomedical pathways will launch at four DPS schools where there is a demonstrated need, including at Manual High School west of Park Hill. Manual High School serves a diverse stu-dent population and will offer a biomedical program to capital-ize on its proximity to many of the city’s hospitals.

Additional schools that will participate include Florence Crittenton in southwest Denver, CEC Middle College in northwest Denver and Compassion Road in down-town Denver.

The biomedical industry in the Denver metro area has grown more than 22 per-cent over the past five years, and is home to 18,860 companies and 10 medical research institutions, with a total of 191,440 jobs. As the Denver metro health sector grows over the next 10 years, there will be more than 4,300 job openings on average annually.

“We have clearly identified CTE pathways as an integral part of our strategy to develop rigorous STEM programs that will prepare our students for college and career, especial-ly in the very fields in the highest demand for our community right here in Denver,”

said DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg. “This program will provide students from

underserved communities in Denver with an opportunity to prepare for a career in health--one of the fastest growing industries in our state. Colorado needs a well-educated and well-trained workforce of the future,” said Donna Lynne, president of Kaiser Per-manente Colorado.

East High Students Receive Nate’s Pass

Thanks to the Nathan Yip Foundation, nearly 350 East High School students have benefited from the new RTD/Nate’s Pass, which subsidizes the cost of an RTD bus pass for student transportation to and from school.

The Nathan Yip Foundation, a Colorado nonprofit founded in 2002, by Denver resi-dents Jimmy and Linda Yip, is underwriting the cost to provide the RTD bus passes – fondly called Nate’s Pass – for the next three school years for all qualified students.

The Yips lost their only son, Nathan, in an automobile accident. They built the foun-dation in his name to provide educational access, empowerment and ongoing support to youth throughout the world.

From the mountainous villages of China, to rural Mexico and Africa, to its home state of Colorado, the Foundation has been mak-ing a difference in the lives of children.

The program is the result of a partner-ship between East High School’s Student Assistance Fund (SAF) and the Nathan Yip Foundation introduces Nate’s Pass,

Since 2004, East High School students who demonstrate need, good grades and high at-tendance have received partial support for their transportation through the innovative Student Assistance Fund. The program aims to remove all economic barriers to students’ high school success and serves more than 600 vulnerable or at-risk students.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Student Assistance Fund at East High School and making a difference in the lives of students in Colorado,” said Jimmy Yip. “This is our dream, to keep Nathan’s spirit alive and provide educational access to young people who can make a difference in our world.”

On Feb. 21, the Nathan Yip Foundation will hold its annual Chinese New Year Fun-draiser. The event is open to the public. For tickets and more information, visit www.nathanyipfoundation.org or call 303-817-8400.

The nonprofit Ethnic College Counseling Center prepares middle and high school students for post-secondary education be-yond high school.

The ECCC was founded in 1983 by the late Pensal McCray and her husband, the late Dr. Christophe J. McCray.

Now in its 32nd year, the Center has as-sisted over 3,000 students nationwide, intro-ducing them to careers and colleges through various workshops, summer enrichment programs, college tours, college fairs, and family retreats.

Seeking Solutions In a World Of CouchSurfing

By Mary Beth SusmanDenver City Councilwoman

Why on earth would anyone rent out bed-rooms in their homes to strangers? It feels new, but it has a long tradition in boarding houses, particularly in the West.

The practice has recently been enhanced by social media that matches hosts with guests directly. The apps are expanding, with AirBnB, VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner), FlipKey, CouchSurfing, Tripping, HomeExchange, Roomorama, Swap and Surf (only for surfers-of the ocean kind), Camp in My Garden (for campers), and of course Craig’s List, where residents can ad-vertise a portion or the whole of their home for short-term rentals, i.e. less than 30 days.

Because of the ar-ray of sites, we have no way to know how many there actually are in Denver. On AirBnB’s offerings, there are cur-rently a little more than 1,000 listings in Denver proper (out of 300,000 households.)

VRBO, which spe-cializes in vacation homes for rent by the day/week, has been around for more than 25 years and is widely used in Colorado’s mountain communities, with around 14,000 listings there. There are some about 300 VRBO listings in Denver proper.

There is also a rising commercialization of short-term rentals, where entrepreneurs buy multiple units to be used as short-term rentals. In New York, the attorney general there found that commercial hosts in that state represent 6 percent of the listings, but receive about 37 percent of the revenue gen-erated from this enterprise.

As for the 94 percent who are not aggre-gating units to rent, data produced by AirB-nB from its Portland, Ore. headquarters re-lates that 45 percent of their hosts surveyed use the income to stay in their home, and 19 percent use their income for household expenses. 40 percent of hosts earn below the Portland median income of $50,900.

Recurring themesWhat does this mean for affordable hous-

ing in Denver? It might be surmised that the entrepreneurial activity that purchases residences to use them as short-term rentals may be reducing the inventory of affordable apartments. But when homeowners them-selves rent out bedrooms or the whole house for short stays to supplement their income and/or pay the mortgage, it may actually increase Denver’s affordability.

It is cause for deliberation whether we continue our current ban on the practice or support it where it increases affordability.

In our discussions at the Sharing Econo-my Task Force, there are recurrent themes we have heard:•Preserve the character of residential

neighborhoods•Protectthesafetyofneighborhoods•Protectthesafetyofcitizensandvisitors

to Denver•Encourageinnovation•Manageafairplayingfieldforinns/hotel

businesses• Implementopportunities for affordable

and sustainable housingCurrent zoning is a starting point to these

considerations. Zoning allows roomers and boarders as a home occupation in all zone districts. (Zoning code 11.9.4.15.) Home occupation seekers must apply for a permit. Zoning officials tell us that though there is no time limit mentioned in the roomers/

boarders article, under household living, tenancy is defined as month-to-month. (Zoning code 11.12.2.1.)

This means our zoning code makes short-term rentals illegal in residential districts, although it is not always clear to some be-cause of the separation of the information in the code and having to understand what month-to-month tenancy means.

Enforcement is difficultThere are options for us to address this

new short-term rental environment. One is to maintain our current zoning code prohi-

bitions and our current practice of sending out neighborhood inspec-tors when there is a complaint.

We have learned from our neighborhood in-spectors that enforce-ment is difficult because: a) it is not illegal to ad-vertise on any media and b) inspectors must actually find the renter on the property and as-certain proof that they are renting less than 30 days at the time of en-counter. Thus it takes many trips, notices, sur-

veillance, etc. to enforce the code.Another option is to tweak the zoning

code to preserve the intent of residential character that allows short-term rentals as a home occupation, but limit it to only those where the host’s property is their primary residence.

We could require that the host seek the right to a home-occupation through our al-ready established system with its required permit application, among other possible restrictions. The “primary residence” re-quirement would have the effect of prohib-iting the purchase of properties just for the purpose of short-term rentals. The caveat to this option is that it would prohibit the VRBO style of rentals, which some residents use when they move to sunnier climes in winter. You probably have neighbors that do this.

Tackling the issueThere are many other issues to be explored

about the home-sharing phenomenon and its effect on affordable living, neighborhood stability, and other factors.

I have led a committee since May that has been studying home-sharing, car-shar-ing and the like, and we will continue to research these practices and discuss with Denver residents for our best decision go-ing forward. You can find information on the meeting times of the Sharing Economy Task Force at denvergov.org/citycouncil un-der council committees or you can contact my office.

Most cities that have created ordinances that allow it with various restrictions (Port-land, Austin, Chicago, San Jose, Nashville, etc.) or have maintained their prohibitions (New York) have spent a year or two ana-lyzing the new wrinkle on home-sharing. I suspect we will need that time too.

Predictions For the Home Front

Welcome to 2015! As we move into the New Year, what can we Park Hillionaires expect from the real estate and mortgage fronts? Well, if you like last year then you will be thrilled since forecasts predict more of the same. If you weren’t paying atten-tion, what follows are the different forces at work behind interest rates, home values and home sales.

2015 Mortgage Rate PredictionsAccording to Freddie Mac’s weekly mort-

gage rate survey, in 2014 rates declined sig-nificantly. The 30-year rate began the year in the mid 4.00 percent range, and finished the year around 3.75 percent, dropping nearly .25 percent. This drop was the second-best annual improvement since 2003.

The surprise was that this drop in rates was not expected. Why then did it happen?

In 2013 mortgage rates had run higher at the end of the year. The Federal Reserve was ending its explicit support for low mortgage rates and the U.S. economy was showing signs of a rebound. Very simply put, the Fed keeps mortgage rates low by buying lots of bonds from the people who lend you money. If the lenders didn’t have this customer they would have to pay higher rates on the bonds they sell in order to at-tract other buyers.

However, demand for mortgage-backed bonds unexpectedly grew. What happened was that even as the Fed support declined the slack in buying was taken up by other investors who were spooked by a couple of factors. One was the unexpected weak-ness in the economies of emerging markets. These are the governments or corporations in the world’s developing nations. The sec-ond was the heightening of geopolitical ten-sions around the world.

Another contributing factor to keeping rates down was the continued level of low inflation produced by a US economy that has flattened out.

The majority view is that without a clear shift in the trend of economic data, which could take months or quarters to take shape, it seems unrealistic that we see any signifi-cant rise in interest rates for 2015. Most pre-dictions call for 30 year mortgage rates to

stay between 4 and 4.5 percent. The crystal ball used by the housing seers

forecast a similar scenario for 2015, with housing values appreciating at a healthy – if not quite so robust – pace.

In 2014, home values increased at an 8 percent or better clip for our neighborhood. More of the same is expected for 2015, as inventory remains low and demand high for our neck of the woods.

Ever the optimistic crew we in the real es-tate business see hopeful signs for a health-ier and more balanced market in 2015. We have all heard the reports of the quandary people find themselves in when the market has not enough supply of housing inventory. It’s a great time to sell, but what can I buy? Relief seems to be on its way in the guise of a couple of encouraging trends.

One is that the dramatic increase in prop-erty values have now brought many people out of a negative equity position in their homes. Negative equity is when the loan was

worth more than the house, often is referred to as being “underwater” or “upside down” on their mortgage.

In Colorado, only 5 per-cent of the home mortgages

have negative equity, half the national nega-tive equity rate of 10.3 percent, according to a national report released by CoreLogic. People who could not sell their homes or were unwilling to go through a short sale can now enter the market again.

Foreclosures are down, especially here in Denver with foreclosure activity in 2014 down 29.3 percent from 2013 in Colorado. Experts see us close to or at the bottom of the crisis and some feel that signs indicate that lenders are gearing up for a spring cleaning of deferred distress in the first half of 2015 in some local markets adding to the supply of homes on the market.

One thing is for certain, if you own a home in our neighborhood you are in as enviable a position as anywhere in the good ol’ USA.

Girl Scouts Get Creative With Pallets

By Kristin CoulterLeader, Girl Scout Troop 3573

They disassembled. They sawed and sanded. They hammered. They nailed. They planned and painted.

Who are these industrious creatures? They are 6th and 7th grade Cadette Girl Scouts working on their troop sponsored “He and Me Pallet Up-cycling Contest.” The contest was conceived as an innovative way for the troop to have fun while earning their Woodworking badge.

Each of the 14 troop members received two wooden pallets, courtesy of Park Hill resident Travis Jacobi, Tucci Fresh Produce. Mr. Jacobi has built several pieces of fur-niture using pallet wood so he was moved to support the girls when he learned of the contest.

The mostly 12-year old girls were chal-lenged to work with their dad, their grand-pa, their brother or another “He” that could help them learn the woodworking skills necessary to transform, or “up-cycle,” the wooden pallets into something new and useful. They were allowed to use other ma-terials as long as they didn’t spend more than $20 in the process.

The creations were unveiled and the girls voted for the contest winners at their Jan. 8 troop meeting.

First place bragging rights and a $25 gift card to Hobby Lobby went to Ellie Mc-Whirter of Morey Middle School, who with the help of her dad, Todd McWhirter, built a corner bench and made a cushion for it for a comfy place to sit on their garage roof-top retreat.

Second place and a $15 gift card to Hobby Lobby went to Lucy Francone of McAuliffe International School, who with her dad Stu-art Francone, built an awesome low table that allowed Lucy to create a fun hang-out area in her room.

Third place and a $10 gift card to Hobby Lobby went to Fiona Goe, also of McAu-liffe, who with her grandfather, Dan Colgan, built a very cool large working wall clock, which she will hang in her room.

Other entries include a nightstand com-plete with French-themed white board stickers that Morgan Ward (McAuliffe) made with her grandfather, Dennis Finni-gan, and the firewood crib that sisters As-pen and Waverly Reeves (McAuliffe) made and beautifully decorated with painted vines and flowers with their grandfather Chip Reeves.

Besides learning valuable woodworking skills and earning a badge the girls built a lifetime memory working with a special “He.”

A Toothy IssueLet’s start with a quick scenario (back-

ground music: the theme to Jaws): Your be-loved pet is sitting on or next to you; they are loving all the attention and go to give you a little love in the form of licking your face. Your response is:a) To move your face

away from them as quickly as possible because of the cloud of bad breath com-ing out.

b) To move in with the pet-approved toothpaste and brush or a dental cleaning pad to perform your al-most nightly ritual with your pet

c) To shove the pet off of you or the couch because you know that fish breath or foul things (from the yard or kitty litter box) have recently been consumed.A perfect answer is b, but honestly some-

times we pet owners are too tired to fight with the pet to clean their teeth or to even keep our own eyes open to watch the telly at night.

The New Year isn’t very old yet, so you still have an opportunity to make a com-mitment to take better care of your own and your pet’s or pets’ teeth and oral health in the coming year.

By now, you may have started to roll your eyes and think, “great, another pet dental article.” Well, yes, but we veterinarians re-visit dental care regularly because you and we can make a significant contribution to maintaining a pet’s health by taking regular and good care of their mouth.

In the perfect world, us human beings are getting our teeth cleaned every six months by a dental hygienist. Because of that regu-lar, thorough cleaning, daily home care and regular examinations and x-rays of our teeth by our dentists, our mouths are in pretty good shape. More of us will have our

teeth in old age than did or do our parents.

In contrast, our pets are physiologically and, in the mouth, physically aging the

equivalent of 2.5 to three years in every six months of “human time.” Imagine if you only brushed your teeth once every 3 months. Would you have a healthy mouth?

February is National Pet Dental Health Month and it represents a chance to take ad-vantage of your veterinarian’s extra focus on dental health for education and some sort of great deal on a professional veterinary dental cleaning. We say the every month is dental health month, but we try to make February just a little bigger so that you can have a pet with sweeter breath at home.

And, challenge yourself to find out whether you can acclimate your pet to regu-lar brushing with pet-approved toothpaste or what new options are available in food or water additives, treats or other products for home care to help you have an easier time.

Be your pet’s oral health super hero – vanquish stinky breath for the now and the long-term health of your best furry friend or friends.

Laurith Keeps It InterestingI’m a beautiful white girl with splotches of black to keep it interesting. My previous owner says I’ve lived with other cats and got along. And I use my litterbox well. I haven’t lived with dogs or kids. New friends here find me to be very sweet, I enjoy being petted and brushed and reward you with purring. I’d love to find a forever home so I can settle in for some long time loving. Please plan to stop by soon! I am at the Dumb Friends League, 2080 S. Quebec Street, Denver and my ID# is 0679833 . To see my other furry friends available for adoption, please visit ddfl.org.
