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

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-
