Title: Losing Larimer: The Uncertain Future of Denver’s Most Iconic Block

URL: https://www.5280.com/losing-larimer-square-the-uncertain-future-of-denvers-most-iconic-block/

Collection: Western History

Description: Larimer Square, Denver’s first designated historic district, is also the oldest existing commercial block in the city. Located in Denver’s downtown on Larimer Street between 14th and 15th streets, the block features Victorian-style buildings holding a variety of national and small local businesses. In 2018, a previous owner investigated renovations that would include building attached glass high-rises on the backs of the historic buildings. Following significant public feedback, he opted instead to sell to commercial real estate investment firm Asana Partners in 2020. Asana’s management and leasing practices, paired with the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused many longstanding small business tenants to leave Larimer Square. This article investigates the loss of locally-based tenants, and questions what the future of the block will look like.

Description: Bike Streets is an all-volunteer project to change the way people move around Denver. Their central hypothesis is that riding a bike 2 miles a week is a bar that just about anyone can clear, and that if it’s something one does every week, it becomes a habit. Their first project, The Bike Streets Mapping Project, produced a crowdsourced map of more than 400 miles of low-stress neighborhood streets and trails.

Collection: Western History

Description: In October 2022, Denverite Tim Jones hosted his 40th “longer table” event in Denver’s City Park. Part of the larger Longer Table movement, these events are social networking dinners that bring together strangers to share a potluck meal. The events are intended to build community and decrease loneliness, and as such, guests are required to sit with people they didn’t know prior, and may not discuss their jobs. This CPR.org article reports on the October event, the movement itself, and Jones’s plans to throw a similar event for 5,280 people, stretching a mile long in City Park, in 2023.

Title: How Beavers Could Help Protect Water Quality from Climate Change

URL: https://www.cpr.org/2022/11/11/beavers-water-quality-climate-change/

Collection: Conservation

Description: A 2017 water and soil science study on the East River tributary of the Colorado River took a different turn than expected when beavers dammed the river section being studied. This event allowed for evaluation of the effect beavers have on water quality and ecosystem health. Beavers’ work was found to be more significant in reducing excess nitrogen than either rain or snowmelt. Ecologists believe the increasing warmth and dryness of the western U.S. will allow beavers to extend their range, potentially improving water quality of existing rivers.

Description: In June 2021, feeling a growing disconnect between the library’s mission and its working conditions for staff, more than ten percent of Denver Public Library employees joined together to launch a voluntary, wall-to-wall union. Affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, “Denver Public Library Workers United” (DPLWU) is a unit of CWA Local 7799, a small consortium of four Colorado-based public service unions. While the Denver City Charter currently forbids union recognition or collective bargaining by the Library, DPLWU asserts that a “wall-to-wall union allows us to channel our collective knowledge and wisdom into powerful collective action.”

Today, the refuge is one of over 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System.

Title: STORIES OF SOLIDARITY: The Japanese Americans in Five Points

URL: https://www.ja-ne.org/sos/

Collection: Western History

Description: The “Japanese Americans in Five Points neighborhood” mapping project and exhibit document the impact and lives of Japanese Americans in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver. In the wake of WWII, following the closing of America’s Japanese incarceration camps, the area surrounding and within the “Larimer Corridor” just north of downtown saw a surge of Japanese-American culture and businesses. Japanese arrivals joined other communities of color who also inhabited and owned businesses in this historic area. Using research and oral history interviews, the mapping project documents 28 different locations of importance to the community, and is also available as an app-based self-guided walking tour.

Collection: Western History

Description: This article from the New York Times reports on recent efforts of the Cherokee Tribe in Oklahoma to enforce a stipulation from the 1835 Treaty of New Echota.

Title: Safe and Sound Denver

URL: https://www.safeandsounddenver.com/

Collection: Western History

Description: Safe and Sound Denver is a grassroots effort of Denver residents who advocate for the safety and well being of neighborhoods. In Fall 2021, the group supported ballot issue 2F, designed to repeal Denver’s 2021 Group Living Zoning Code Amendment (originally passed by City Council in February 2021). Among other changes to zoning code, the amendment had raised to five the number of unrelated adults permitted to live in a single family home. While the amendment was intended to partially address the housing shortage in Denver, the Safe and Sound group is concerned with the potential quality of life and safety effects the code changes could produce.
