El vecindario de Sunnyside recientemente ganó una subvención del Departamento de Salud Ambiental de Denver para un proyecto de caminabilidad de barrio. La subvención se pagará por un mural de calle en la intersección de 41 º y Navajo, cerca de Trevista. El propósito de esta encuesta es obtener información sobre el diseño del mural. Debe tardar menos de 5 minutos en completarse.
The G line of the RTD commuter rail line which will stop at the new 41st and Fox station was set to open at the end of October. However, due to problems with with the software controlling the crossing gates at intersections along the already-running A and the B lines, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has said it won’t allow testing on the G Line until the problems are corrected on the A and the B Lines.
We are looking forward to celebrating the opening of the rail line next year!
Our 7th annual Jazz in the Park event is Thursday August 4, 2016 6 – 8:30pm in Chaffee Park (44th and Tejon).
Jazz in the Park is part of Sunnyside’s Denver Days celebrations. The idea behind Denver Days is for neighbors to get to know one another, and as a result feel safer and more connected to the communities they call home.
This year, SUNI is excited to announce that we’ve hired Denver’s own Delta Sonics to play. The Delta Sonics were the International Blues Challenge Semi-Finalist- Memphis 2012, and labeled “…the area’s best harmonica-led band.” by The Denver Post and “best blues band in Denver” by Westword.
In addition to a great band, we have lined up 2 food trucks: Mile High Cajun and StreetZFood with food for purchase. Or, you can bring your own picnic!
This is definitely a kid-friendly event. Chaffee Park has a great playground and plenty of space for kids to play. There are restrooms available and plenty of shade.
We hope you will come out and join us for this fantastic event!

Sunnyside Residents and PCD Members,
This is a reminder for our September monthly meeting which will take place in the Community Room of Police District One tomorrow starting at 7 PM. Address: 1311 W 46th Ave, Denver, CO 80211
This will be a continuation of the Interstate 70 Expansion discussion that could affect all of Northwest Denver if CDOT ever chose to widen the I-70 West of I-25. At our August PCD meeting, we heard from opponents of widening I-70 and the unanswered questions they had for CDOT and the City. Tomorrow’s meeting is with CDOT, Mayor Hancock’s Northwest Denver Cornerstone Collaborative and representatives from Denver where we hope to hear answers to those unanswered questions.
This should be a lively and informative meeting. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at DPD1, 7PM – Community Room.
Thank you,
Eugene
