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 Fruitdale from October 2021 to March 2022. We've enjoyed talking to you and your neighbors and appreciate the time and energy you gave to provide feedback on neighborhood opportunities and challenges.
The Fruitdale blitz consisted of two rounds of engagement that included two surveys, two virtual meetings, two virtual office hours, a park pop-up event, and an in-person open house. Nearly 100 Fruitdale residents participated over the course of five months. To learn more about the blitz and what your neighbors had to say, explore the Fruitdale Blitz Report here.
What is Let's Talk Fruitdale?
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 Fruitdale blitz ran from October 2021 to March 2022.
Round 1 of the blitz included a "Prime the Pump" survey and several virtual events to home 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 Fruitdale Boundaries
For the purposes of the Let's Talk program, when we say "Fruitdale" we are referring to the area generally bounded by I-70 and Clear Creek, and from I-70 to Kipling Street.
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.
