Let the Engagement Begin!
On
Saturday, December 14, the City of Golden will host an open house and Clear Creek Corridor tour from
9 to 11 a.m. This is your first opportunity to give us your ideas for the future of the Clear Creek Corridor! Meet us in the atrium area of the building located at 311 10th St.
In October of this year, the City purchased 7.27 acres of land east of Ford Street along the Clear Creek Corridor, which now gives the Golden community the opportunity to address several longstanding goals:
- Enhancing civic and cultural community activities
- Realizing the potential of the Creek Corridor
- Consolidating and improving municipal facilities and service delivery
What does the future of the Corridor look like to you? Be part of this exciting legacy project for the City of Golden.
This is the kickoff event for the planning and engagement process that will take place from now through Fall 2020. The Atrium area will be open and there will be a feedback station in the lower level. Both areas will have project information and large maps of the Corridor so you can provide input on what uses you would like to see there. Weather permitting, we will have tours of key areas along the Corridor as well.
For those looking to attend the Olde Golden Christmas Parade at 11 a.m., we will have hayrides from 10 to 10:45 a.m. to take you from the open house to the parade route downtown.
Don't miss this FIRST opportunity to get involved with planning Golden's future!

Golden PD offers new way to track crime in Golden
The Golden Police Department and LexisNexis Risk Solutions recently partnered to provide a new way for the public to stay informed about crime in Golden.
The Golden Police Department now has an online Community Crime Map
that maps and analyzes crime data, alerts Golden residents about crimes in their area, and allows the Golden Police Department to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur.
Golden residents can view a map and grid with all of the crimes in their area, sign up for neighborhood watch reports that automatically email a breakdown of recent crime activity, and submit an anonymous tip about a crime directly to the Golden Police.
Community Crime Map automatically syncs with the Golden Police Department records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app. Community Crime Map cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays all of the incidents on a map, grid and analytics dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time.
