KJ mm JAN/ FEB 1977 A PUBLICATION BY CAPITOL HILL UNITED NEIGHBORHOODS INC. Forum To Focus On East CoIFax February CHUN Board Meeting OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Thursday, Feb. 24th, 7:30 pm Botanic Gardens, 1005 York Classroom B (downstairs) Which way is East Colfax Avenue going? That seems an increasingly important and relevant question in Capitol Hill these days, what with the varied transit plans being formulated, new business enterprises launched, and other more or less favorable developments occuring. CHUN's first public forum of the year, scheduled for the evening of February 16th, will address that question. The forum, to be held in Mammoth Gardens, will feature questions, and maybe some answers; opinions, and maybe some hard facts; hopes, and maybe some fears; dreams, and maybe some nightmares, shout the neighborhood*s favorite (or most disliked) street. We'll be asking the audience to react to what's happening along East Colfax; we'll be sharing new information; we'll be hearing from some people who have some definite thoughts about which way East Colfax Avenue is going. Among the participants will be busi- nesspeople - of the new and the older generation; a representative from the firm designing new bus routes for East Colfax; a person who has some answers about who patronizes the adult entertainment facilities; a representative of the city's finest; and perhaps others. Joing CHUN in sponsoring this timely forum will be CHAB, the Capitol Hill Association of Businesses. Mark the date on your calendars now: Wednesday, February 16th, 7:30 pm, Mammoth Gardens at 1510 Clarkson. CHUN Standing Firm On One-Way Issue by Bernie Jones The one-way street battle that CHUN and the South Central Improvement Association have been waging with the city administration for a year and a half has started to take on all the characteristics of a Bach fugue. Bach fugues start with one simple thread of music, which then weaves back and forth, in and out of itself, never covering very much different ground. One one-way street issue has become that convoluted, with moves and countermoves. As we go to press, we are not much closer to victory than when we started. Since the last issue of The Urban Dweller, CHUN and SCIA representatives met with the Mayor. After repeating his opposition to any pilot project, he offered to take the funds City Council had appropriated for a study of property values and have the Denver Urban Observatory do a study of the impacts of one-ways. This study would be a theoretical ones, that is, not accompanied with any pilot project. Both CHUN and SCIA weighed this offer, and have concluded that the only study we could support would be one that was tied to a pilot project, was conducted by an organization not tied either to the Mayor's of- Turn to "one-ways" p. 8
