Last Saturday (the 10th), the Downtown Development Authority held a block party in the parking lot between the Astor House and Miners Alley Playhouse. They are considering turning that lot, which currently holds about 35 cars, into a public plaza.
I went downtown with the intention of attending the block party. Ironically, after circling the parking lot on the other side of 12th Street, as well as Arapahoe Street, Washington Avenue, and 11th Street, I couldn't find a parking spot, so I went home.
Fortunately, they have an online survey so we can still weigh in. They ask a few general questions, like "How did you hear about the DDA," then move on to, "Do you like the idea of converting this parking lot into a plaza," and finally "What features would you want in a plaza?"
If you have an opinion on this topic, take the survey at this link: DDA SURVEY.
