The June meeting for GURA will be a bus tour around the City to examine potential new Plan Areas. The Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) implements urban renewal projects consistent with community values. To view agendas, minutes and webcasts for GURA meetings, visit our Public Meetings page.
Note: GoldenToday is concerned about the propriety—and lack of transparency—of an unrecorded public meeting in which areas targeted for urban renewal will be discussed. For that reason, we asked to accompany the board on the bus tour. Staff's reply was:
You’re more than welcome to drive alongside the bus and meet us at each stop. I’ll be publishing the full route and estimated arrival times later today. Since it wouldn’t be equitable to offer transportation to only some members of the public, we’re instead providing the itinerary so that anyone interested can join us at the various locations.
This does not resolve the problem of discussions that take place on the bus.
In case you want to "drive alongside the bus," the planned route is as follows:
- City Hall (911 10th Street)
▪ Depart at 5:00 - Golden Church of the Nazarene (17455 W 16th Ave.)
▪ Estimated arrival time: 5:15
▪ Deboard the bus to look at the site and discuss. - Drive along S. Golden Rd to Moss St.
- Stop at Miners Haus (17200 West Colfax)
▪ Estimated arrival time: 5:45
▪ Deboard the bus to look at the site and discuss
▪ Viewpoint/stop will be by the Petco in Interplaza West - Stop at the Junction (5079 HWY 93)
