What We Heard

Thank you for helping map out our city and sharing places you love and places you think could use some improvement! 22 of you pinned 37 places between May - Oct 2022)!

Here's a recap of what we've heard:

Parks and Trails are important community gathering spots

Bittersweet	Sunrises are beautiful!
Sherwood	The new pickleball courts are great
Cottonwood	A neighborhood gem - however, could use some additional sidewalks
Glenmere	Beautiful, especially when trees are in bloom - however, safety is now a bigger concern
Josephine Jones Natural Area	Great, rugged place to run - more playground space would be great; and entrance to park via bike trail is not marked or easily accessible
Shurview Natural Area	The acquisition is a great addition for the City
Sanborn Park	Updates and upkeep are critical
Bypass trail	Barbed-wire fence is blocking connectivity to bike trail at the intersection of 50th and the trail; would be great to connect, so that people don't have to go down to 47th Ave. Trail would also benefit from a courtesy mow strip on either side so that noxious weeds (such as goat-heads) don't lead to flat bike tires

There is a deep appreciation for our neighborhood "hubs"

Weldwerks	World-renowned brewery, with an owner who is committed to the city
9th Street Plaza	Lively/fun - would prefer that it was closed to vehicle traffic
Warm Hugs	Fun shop and a great use of an historic building
Greeley West High School	Great new facility for the community
Centennial Village	Wonderful place - does not get enough use

Improvements to our city's transit, pedestrian, and bike system are a priority

Intersection of 35 and 27th Street	Needs traffic light
Intersection of 8th Ave and 28th Street	Needs attention
Intersection of 6th Ave and 13th Street	Could be cleaned up so that it becomes more walkable
NW C Street & 21st Ave to B Street & 17th Ave	Needs roadwork (can be dangerous, as asphalt on the north side drops off in some places, and south side is uneven by the railroad tracks)
Intersection of 50th Ave and 10th Street	Could use a pedestrian crossing sign to warn drivers
Area behind Chik-Fil-A	Hazardous, with conflicting traffic signs - needs to be investigated
Crosswalk at 23rd Ave and 20th Street	Not accessible to people in wheelchairs
Riverside community	Could use better access and a traffic light
85 to 23rd Ave	Dangerous during morning/afternoon rush

Neighborhood safety is important

Alley near intersection of 4th Ave and 26th Street	Unsafe, especially given the proximity to a school district facility
Lincoln Park	Safety concerns - may impact whether people choose to visit the park with their families

There are opportunities for Greeley to continue to be thoughtful about developing new amenities

6632 W. 19th Street	Could be a great area for senior condos
Recent expansion near 34 and 257	Because of the growth in residents in this area, a school is needed. Currently, children are bussed to Windsor for elementary and Severance for middle/high school
Downtown	Would be great to install family-friendly features like splash pads in parks
