Community Information

transportation renewable resources housing mental health affordable

My community is the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Many in the neighborhood gather at Cheesman Park to relax, enjoy recreation, spend time with others, play sports, and exercise. Despite being a major downtown neighborhood Capitol Hill has limited access to services such as healthcare, transportation, and education

Capitol hill is known to be the most densely populated area of the city. It is culturally known for being the LGBT center of the city and housing many artists and bohemians.

The neighborhood contains a large section of Colfax Boulevard. The area is known to be a haven for crime and a lot of poverty exists in the area.

The neighborhood faces a huge issue of homelessness. The city needs to do a better job at addressing the issue instead of sweeping the issue under the rug and pretending it doesn't exist. Another issue is due to the density it can be hard to find parking. This causes many in the area to go car-free, transit must be improved for these individuals.
