The City of Wheat Ridge began public engagement in 2018 on a project to transform the area between Stevens Elementary and 38th Ave into a future public gathering space. During the fall 2021 engagement phase, 177 respondents completed the project survey, ~30 attended the public meeting, and ~1,100 users visited the online project page. You can see the results from this engagement in the ""November 2021 Updates" section.
As of spring 2024, the project has completed final design and is mobilizing for construction on the parking lot portion of the project starting around May 31st, 2024. The parking lot will be completed ahead of the start of the 2024-2025 school year and construction on the park portion of the project will begin after the parking lot is completed.
If you'd like to learn more, read further on this page and watch the 12-minute Projects Concepts Options Video to view possible elements that could be included in the new space.
