Phase One Summary

In Phase One we wanted to understand the community’s concerns, needs, and vision.

How we heard from you

In the last few months, we reached out to the community through a number of different methods:

• Door-to-door outreach
• Local events
  1. Arts Picnic
  2. Greeley Farmers’ Market
  3. Friday Fest
  4. OktoBrewfest
• Online through Speak Up Greeley

This outreach let staff build a personal connection with residents and businesses located in the project area and explain the project’s purpose, schedule, and how to stay involved.

The door-to-door outreach was vital. Over four days, staff knocked on more than 300 doors and spoke to more than 120 community members—leaving information about the project for the rest. In that process, staff managed to talk in person with more than 60 percent of business owners along the corridor.

What we heard

Throughout phase one several themes emerged as topics of interest including:

• Sidewalk and crosswalks improvements
• Traffic and speeding concerns
• Parking availability and safety
• Flooding and drainage
• Bike and transit facilities and consideration
• Beautification and lighting
• Homelessness
• Crime and security

What comes next

Now the project moves into Phase Two and officials look for input from the whole community on this important corridor and how its future should look.

Input from the first two phases of the project will help create different designs and ideas for the corridor—and officials will present them to the community for feedback in phase three.
