We are back today, folks!
About that lot on Marion (1148), here are some pictures. From front to back, the thing looks as if it has not seen any work since the demolition of whatever home that was there.
As of July 1, an City inspector went out there, and placed the notice. Good thing! I don't know how long the process takes, but the property next door is in wonderful condition- nicely edged and manicured lawn, chairs out back, etc. From the rear, it doesn't look as bad, but still...Sell the thing, or someone gets in trouble.
In other news, I took a walk down Colfax, to discover exactly what makes this street what it is. I was able to contact the master developer of the Church in the City Project, and a family member who happens to be the guy trying to sell the retail. I sent a list of questions, and judging on the response, I have more questions. The most important of these questions is this: What makes Colfax the place to develop and re-develop? What goes into the process of planning and execution?
Other than all of the neat art galleries, funky clothing stores, and fast food establishments, what kind of opportunities does Colfax encompass? What is the starting point and destination for Colorado's Main Street?
I can say that in perusing the sprucing up of property along the Capitol Hill Corridor, you find that it may be sidewalk widening, building of landscaping and bicycle routes, etc. Much of the planning process according to the City and County of Denver, is doing some aesthetic cleaning of signage, curb-driveway development, re-creating a Denver Streetcar system, a parking district, a Colfax Marketing plan- and a total re-design of the street-scape, in landscaping.
More tomorrow!
