From the e-wire:
[To] All – Athmar Park has been the victim of “mobile” vendors for many years. In fact, in recent years, vendors set up mini-plazas in Huston Lake Park that totally blocked access to the walkways for pedestrians. Those vendors were belligerent, aggressive, and completely dismissive of Denver regulations. The Athmar Park Neighborhood Association was successful in getting Environmental Health and NIS to remove those vendors from HLP. However, the effect on area residents was so profoundly negative that APNA had other concerns regarding vendors beside the obvious commercialization of Denver parkland. [This] proposal seems to be an attempt to blatantly commercialize Denver parkland and seems to be yet another ploy to disturb the restful quality of Denver’s parks. I have not seen a cost/benefit analysis for this proposal. I believe the revenue numbers should be forthcoming, as well as plans for handling adverse behavior.
I believe that allowing this type of commercialization, as innocuous as it seems on the face of it, is simply a wedge to help open the door to all types of revenue-generating events/uses in our parks.
