Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: The neighborhood where I live includes both the Gulch two blocks south of me and the lake two blocks north. Everyone along Colfax between Sheridan and Meade has a similar sense of their proximity to the Ave, the lake, and the gulch. I move through the neighborhood by either biking along 17th or through the gulch down to the S Platte

Your response: It's important that W Colfax Ave is kept together because new businesses, developments, and changes to bussing and transit through the corridor are shared experiences that make Colfax a vibrant place. I walk up and down the Ave to access shops I like, go to movies and restaurants, and catch the bus or get off the bus. If a block of Colfax a dozen blocks away gets revitalized or gets a new business, I would patronize that business too. And the more our part of town grows, the less of a distance I want to travel to go to a quality establishment or business.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: We need changes to Colfax Ave to make it safer to cross the street, to slow traffic, and to make the bus faster. It's awesome that the bus comes so often, but it takes me 30 minutes by bus to get to my work, versus 15 minutes on a bike and 10-15 minutes in a private vehicle. People in my neighborhood cross Colfax all day every day and in my stretch of the woods it's very unsafe and difficult to do.
