 Denver hosts a great and rich history of culture, and continues to remain a true testament to "Colorful Colorado". While Denver may not be as recognized for historical musical prominence like such cities as Seattle, Los Angeles, Detroit, or New York City, it still manages to have a very active pop, jazz, and classical music scene, which has nurtured several artists and genres to regional, national, and even international attention. Though nearby Boulder, Colorado has its own very distinct music scene, artists based there also play in Denver.(Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Denver certainly offers the best to its visitors.

GOCO Grant Awarded For Trail |
Improvements Along Cherry Creek In Denver
Through a partnered application to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) from Denver’s Parks + Recreation and the Greenway Foundation, the Board of GOCO at its March 28, 2008 meeting, awarded a grant of $725,000 for trail improvements along the section of the Cherry Creek Greenway between Oneida St. (adjacent to Cook Park) downstream approximately 1.5 miles to Holly St. (adjacent to Garland Park).
These funds will be leveraged with additional funding from the City and County of Denver as part of the recent Bond package passed by the voters this past November, along with support from the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the Greenway Foundation.
This long-anticipated enhancement will construct a concrete bicycle/pedestrian trail along the only remaining “non-channel” section of the Cherry Creek Greenway and will eliminate six “at grade crossings” that currently exist. The new trail will begin at the existing pedestrian bridge adjacent to Cook Park and travel downstream along the Creek under Monaco Parkway, travel along the natural area between Monaco and Holly St. and will then pass under the new Holly Street bridge, connecting to the existing trail just downstream of Holly St.
Construction of this new 1.5 mile, 10’ wide trail is intended to begin later this year and is anticipated to be open for use in the spring of 2009. A community meeting will be scheduled during the coming weeks to present a more detailed overview of the project to neighboring residents. |
