Consultation has concluded
Thank you for participating!
Thank you to those that participated in the city’s Let’s Talk Resident Engagement Program engagement blitz for Bel Aire from October 2020 to March 2021. We've enjoyed talking to you and your neighbors and appreciate the time and energy you gave us to provide feedback on neighborhood opportunities and challenges.
The Bel Aire blitz consisted of two rounds of engagement that included two surveys and nine virtual meetings. Over 160 Bel Aire residents participated over the course of five months. To learn more about the blitz and what your neighbors had to say, explore the Bel Aire Blitz Report here.
What is Let's Talk Bel Aire?
This page is part of the city’s Let’s Talk Resident Engagement Program. The program breaks the city down into 10 neighborhoods. City officials conduct a neighborhood engagement "blitz" two neighborhoods at a time, with a goal of covering the city in about two year cycles. The Bel Aire blitz ran from October 2020 to February 2021.
Round 1 of the blitz included a "Prime the Pump" survey and several virtual events tohome in on what's important to residents. Round 2 of the blitz included an "Action Survey" that tied directly to what we heard was most important to residents during Round 1. The results of the engagement blitzes feed into a Let's Talk Program Work Plan that is updated continuously and after each blitz and evaluated by city council.
Let's Talk Bel Aire Map
For the purposes of the Let's Talk program, when we say "Bel Aire" we are referring to the area generally bounded by Kipling and Wadsworth, and from Clear Creek to 38th Avenue.
Why are we doing this?
In 2018, city officials heard loud and clear that residents want more and better opportunities to weigh in on issues that impact their neighborhoods. This resulted in the 2019 adoption of an updated Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) by city council. The update was led by a 26-member Wheat Ridge resident committee.
The NRS is a citywide policy document that reflects a year of robust community input. The primary recommendation is for the city to conduct focused engagement of residents at the neighborhood level.
