CITY MEETING
6:30PM GURA Board Meeting @ City Hall
GURA will discuss their 2024, beginning with a draft provided by City staff. The draft shows substantial amounts with no specific objective in each GURA area:
Central Neighborhoods – $150,000 for “Capital Projects”
Parfet Briarwood – $400,000 for “Projects”
West Colfax – $500,000 for “Projects”
West Colfax also has $680,177 earmarked for “West Colfax Complete Street” (which generally means fewer car lanes and more bike lanes and sidewalks).
The board has determined that their top priorities are affordable housing and complete streets.

GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
93 Years Ago
The October 16, 1930 Colorado Transcript reported that “Nearly Five Hundred Attended the School of Electric Cookery.” For decades, the power company ran big ads encouraging people to go electric–they should buy electric appliances, heat with electricity, save money by using electricity.
In more recent decades, electricity has acquired a bad rap–it’s more expensive than natural gas for home heating, and our coal-burning power plants have been major polluters.
Interestingly, the pendulum is turning the other way now. For homes equipped with solar panels, electricity is once again “The Modern Fuel,” and “Your Biggest Bargain.”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
