Take a bus tour of Denver’s famous Colfax Avenue along its entire 26-mile length from Golden to Aurora. Presented by Denver History Tours, on this five-hour tour you will learn about the evolution of this avenue from neighborhood street to its designation as US Highway 40. Each city along the route has something to share about the rich history of Colfax. Lakewood retains many of the motor hotels servicing auto traffic from the early to mid-20th century. Denver’s portion has gone through many incarnations as well, including its seedier elements of pornography shops and prostitution. Learn about the city’s efforts to improve Colfax’s image along major stretches of the avenue.

Continue along into Aurora to see the major redevelopments occurring at the old Fitzsimons Hospital. Colfax is a microcosm of Denver society and this tour will help us learn about ourselves. Come join the fun!

(This tour includes a one-hour break for lunch. Participants should bring money for their meal). Walking Level: Easy Register by: Oct 17 Ages: 55+ Min 8/Max 13 #311420.08 Th

Discovering Windsor! A Look Back, A Leap Forward

The Town of Windsor Museum is proud to announce the much-anticipated opening of its new exhibit at Boardwalk Park, Discovering Windsor: A Look Back, A Leap Forward The exhibit focuses new attention on stories that have shaped our local understanding—from the factors that led to Windsor’s development as a town, to the experiences of its people, and the fascinating journey our museum has undertaken and continues to chart for itself. Threaded through each of these stories is a discovery—of our natural resources, our independent spirit, and our commitment to a bright future.

Discovering Windsor: A Look Back, A Leap Forward features a wealth of historic photographs, objects, oral histories, and interactive experiences that invite participation in our history—past and present.

Please join us for a look back at Windsor’s exciting past and get ready to leap forward as we envision our community’s future!

COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER

PROPOSED EXPANSION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

OUR COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER IS BUSY. VERY BUSY. Demand for recreation programming at Windsor’s Community Recreation Center has grown 218 percent over the past 10 years. The increase in demand for programming is driven both by an increase in Windsor’s population—which has grown from about 10,000 to 20,000 residents the past decade—and by efforts to increase the scope of our recreation programming. We have come to the point where our facilities and programs simply cannot keep pace with the demand for indoor recreation.

Windsor citizens for years have expressed support for expanding indoor recreational options. Our voters supported the construction of the current Community Recreation Center by approving a sales tax increase in 2002. And a 2011 public opinion survey indicated strong local support for indoor leisure pools, lap lanes, weight-training space and cardio space.

During the past three years, extensive research and deliberation has gone into developing a plan to address our community’s highest priority unmet indoor recreation needs. In response, the plan recommends expanding the existing Community Recreation Center to include a wide range of amenities.

The Windsor Town Board is now considering seeking local voter approval on the fall 2014 ballot for a sales-tax increase to fund the improvements to the Community Recreation Center.

The following information offers greater detail and answers questions you may have about the pending proposal.

WHAT CHALLENGES CURRENTLY FACE WINDSOR RESIDENTS SEEKING INDOOR RECREATION PROGRAMS & FACILITIES? Many Windsor residents travel great lengths to address their indoor recreation needs. Chimney Park Pool is limited to seasonal programming, and gymnasiums and other recreation facilities at our local schools are also operating at or near capacity. Meanwhile, participation in our Community Recreation Center programs has grown 218 percent since 2004. Youth activities participation has grown 123 percent. Senior participation has grown 114.

WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER? The proposed improvements to the Community Recreation Center include: • A leisure pool • Lap lanes • A water slide • An auxiliary gym • A walk/jog track • An aerobics/dance/yoga studio • A fitness/wellness studio • Expanded locker rooms • A child-watch area • A classroom/party room • Additional parking

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED COST? The estimated cost of the project is $16.1 million, which includes site work, construction and other project costs.

HOW WOULD THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS BE FUNDED? The current plan under consideration would seek voter approval of a sales tax of 0.75 percent (3/4 of 1 cent on each dollar), which amounts to 7.5 cents per $10 for purchases made in Windsor.

WHO WOULD PAY THE SALES TAX? Anyone making a retail purchase in Windsor city limits, which includes many non-residents.

WOULD THE PROPOSAL INCLUDE A PROPERTY TAX? No. Our property taxes would not be affected in any way.

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS? Parks and recreation amenities provide many benefits to our community, including: • enhancing property values • helping attract and retain professionals and businesses • promoting healthy life choices • controlling healthcare costs • providing social interaction • keeping seniors, family and kids connected • improving our quality of life
