The City was awarded a $1 million healthy places grant initiative to look at improvements in SE Arvada near the RTD stations.   I was at their kick-off meeting today as the Apex PRD is a stakeholder.

There are 10’s of stakeholders and they are planning to obtain as much input from all of the community in SE Arvada (the study area).   There was discussion of improved biking and pedestrian pathways, gardens, parks, and recreational facilities like futsal and pickleball. For you cyclists out there additional bike racks are already in the works.

Rose Chavez is the coordinator.   Stay tuned for more information.
