City Plan: A New Comprehensive Plan for Wheat Ridge

Let’s Create a City Plan!

Wheat Ridge is working on a City Plan, and we want to hear from you. The City Plan, which is often called a comprehensive plan, will articulate our community’s vision for the next 20 years, establish shared values, and identify priorities for the future. It also provides direction on issues such as what land uses should be where, how people get around, access to housing, and supporting the local economy. The City Plan will provide the framework for many decisions for years to come. Getting involved in this planning process and sharing your voice means shaping the future of Wheat Ridge.

How Can I Get Involved?

Let's roll up our sleeves! Join us for phase three of engagement where we'll discuss tradeoffs and how to bring the City Plan to life. You can participate online or in person.

Online Activities
Available September 6 through October 11
Rather put pen to paper? Call or email for a hard copy of the activities.

We'd love for you to complete one or both of the following activities!

1. Peaceful Coexistence Survey - As change inevitably happens in Wheat Ridge, tell us what's most important to you when new development occurs.
2. Mobility Map Exercise - Explore the proposed mobility framework and tell us if it will help you get where you want to go in Wheat Ridge.

For some helpful background information on both of these activities, please consider reviewing the background information tab below.

What if I already participated in phase one (in April) or two (in June)?
Welcome back! The City Plan process will continue until spring 2025, and we want to hear from you again during each of the four engagement phases. Throughout the process, we’ll be discussing new topics and refining what we’ve heard from previous phases.

What if I missed phase one and two?
It’s never too late to join the conversation – new faces are welcome to get involved at any time.

Become a Neighborhood Champion

Already subscribed to project updates but want to do more? Consider becoming a Neighborhood Champion! This is a group of people who live, work, or have general interest in Wheat Ridge and who want to stay up to speed on the City Plan and (most importantly) help promote City Plan participation. Neighborhood Champions can share information with their networks and via City-provided yard signs and promotional items, and they provide relevant neighborhood feedback at various points throughout the process. Neighborhood Champions may devote however much time they desire and have available. This could include simply placing a sign in their yard, or it could involve actively promoting City Plan through their networks, participating in online engagement activities, and acting as the lead correspondent for their neighborhood. To become a Neighborhood Champion, fill out this sign-up form!
