Heart of Golden 2020 - Get involved!
With the 7.27 acres of land the City recently purchased from Miller-Coors, we now have more than 50 acres of public land all along the Clear Creek Corridor. This gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-imagine how the Clear Creek Corridor might look for future generations.
The City has embarked on an 8-month planning process and we need your input. This past December, we kicked off the legacy project, Heart of Golden 2020, with a public workshop and tours of the land available for redevelopment. Eight more feedback workshops are scheduled for public engagement, beginning with Wednesday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, 911 10th Street. We encourage you to join us in person, but you don't need to wait until then to share your vision. You can give us your ideas at ANY time on
GuidingGolden.com.
We recently launched a new engagement tool on Guiding Golden that allows you to pin your ideas on a map. We have the area divided into three zones - east, central and west. Help us brainstorm, envision and engage in one of the most exciting projects in Golden history!

Recycle your tree
Once the last ornament has been put away and the final string of lights returned to the box to tangle themselves for another year, don't just kick your tree to the curb - turn it into mulch!
Drop off your trees through Jan. 26 at the former Golden Recycle site, just west of Hwy 93 and north of Golden Gate Canyon Road.
Please leave trees at the south end of the site; there will be a sign there for tree recycling.
Trees must be stripped of all ornaments, hardware, strings of lights and tinsel. The trees will be turned into mulch, which will eventually be available for free at the public pickup site on 11th Street, just west of the Clear Creek History Park.
For further details, contact the City of Golden Forestry office at 303-384-8141.
