You think they could say VOTE/VOTER anymore times?
Well, you know what? I'm a VOTER, too, and I want things taking place in our parks - things like ChiveFest. Our parks are for people to BE IN, not just to look at.

I'm psyched for chivefest, tour de fat, the pro cycling challenge and other events that make our city fun, interesting and exciting place to be. I live near city park and run around it daily and I know that the park belongs to all of Denver's residents not just those who live nearby. It is also true that on street parking is not owned by those who live there, it is a public resource. If you'd like private parking build a garage otherwise drop the entitled attitude and screaming about Your Park and Your Parking both of which are public resources not just Your's. There are trade offs to living near a popular amenity - higher property values, access to an idyllic and underutilized park, a healthy place to exercise and a place to teach your children about nature but that also might come with harder to find parking spaces, events that you find hold little value and at times, noise. Also, do we really need another RNO? Why not work with the existing RNO's that border City Park? Warmest regards, your neighbor and a Denver voter

Im all for events in the park, but City Park is unique because of the Zoo. I agree that this particular venue will negatively effect the animals. That being said, I dont agree with the way this petition was worded. CPFAN will cause offense to claim City Park as its "own", as if nobody else matters. This issue should be viewed less as a right to access but as a practical concern for the limitations of City Park. The South City Park neighborhood has been petitioning the city for crosswalks/divides across the major streets surrounding the park to no avail, this location is NOT SAFE to access (just last summer someone was killed crossing 17th) especially when there is a lot of drinking at night. Its not a matter of events being held in the park, but the type of event which should be allowed. This park is not an appropriate venue for a large concert and we can not allow this to set a legal precedent.

Louis: Part of living in the city is being able to enjoy the urban environment, including events in the park. If the noise of the city, the people and congestion are problems for you I suggest you move to a more rural environment. The parks are for all of the people's enjoyment and just because it is not an event that you and your group enjoy, then it doesn't mean it should be banned.
I happen to live near Colorado Blvd. and a public school. Does the noise bother me sometimes? Does it bother me that I often cannot find a street parking spot outside of school hours because of special events? Yes, absolutely! But this is part of living in the neighborhood that I live in and also part of living in the city. Quit complaining.
Respectfully,
Denise

I am a 15 year resident of Capitol Hill/City Park.. I don't agree with the objectives of this organization or the communication being directed toward the city of Denver Office of Special Events or the mayor. I was utterly disappointed that this group was able to completely shut down the City Loop project a few years back and I don't know what your point is? Do you have children? What is the objective of then group other than not wanting Denver and City Park to urbanize? Parks should be a combination of restful, active, and energetic but should certainly not be restful or historic all the time - what is the point? I run/walk the park almost everyday and I love when there are races and events, traffic, people and excitement - that's why I chose to live in an urban area. Restful parks for rural areas. City Park, yes, was once on the outskirts of Denver, but is now central to life in Capitol Hill, City Park, and Park Hill and should evolve to fit the needs of the residents and I think it's unfair that a small group like this can control our government's decisions.
