DENVER CITY COUNCIL DEFINES ANNUAL PRIORITIES

 

Plan for 2008-09 Targets Graffiti, Neighborhoods and Economic Development

 

DENVER – Denver City Council has mapped its priorities and guiding principles for the coming 12 months, including the 2009 budget season. Council's top priorities for 2008-09 are:

 

  1. Graffiti removal and prevention;
  2. Neighborhood maintenance and enhancement;
  3. Economic development;
  4. Bike, pedestrian and transit connectivity; and
  5. Attracting and retaining families and children.

 

Council suggests specific actions to the Mayor’s Administration to support these priorities. For example, Council will encourage expanding the methods for issuing  notices and citations regarding graffiti removal.   Council also suggests enhancing programs that encourage youth in both the prevention and removal of graffiti.

 

"Our goal is to ensure a city of attractive, diverse, safe and sustainable neighborhoods and businesses," said Council President Michael Hancock. "We look forward to working with the Administration to strategically achieve our goal."

 

Council also requests the Mayor analyze the delivery of city services to ensure equitable distribution of services to every neighborhood. Further, Council will emphasize funding mobility improvements in the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plans, as well as traffic enforcement mechanisms such as increased patrols and photo radar. Budget priorities also include programs that address gang activity, crime, drugs, and recreation programs designed for youth.  Attracting and retaining families remains an emphasis for this Council.  Programs and grants designed to enhance neighborhood businesses and home remodeling are supported to achieve this goal.
