YAY! BJ’s Velvet Freez is coming to OCC
BOO! They want to have a drive thru

We have close to zero walkable neighborhoods in Colorado Springs. This drive thru centers cars in one of the few walkable neighborhoods in our city.

Drive Thrus add congestion and make the neighborhood less safe, walkable, bikable & slow buses. Please tell the city no on adding this drive thru to OCC.

Email: [email protected]
Reference: BJ Velvet Freeze Ice Cream Parlor
Record number: NVAR-26-0013

No new drive thrus in OCC

Thank you Organization of Westside Neighbors for bringing this to our attention.

Support 7a on the November ballot to bring passenger rail back to Colorado Springs
Coloradans for CoCo Colorado Connector

is here because of rail, it’s time to bring it back 🚞

Transportation infrastructure is a public good that we need to be investing in - Passenger rail between FC & Denver is projected to cost $25-35mil per year that’s $4-14mil less that the $39mil Woodman interchange pictured cost to build

How’d we get the sprawling we have today? ZONING
Zoning’s not all bad but when it keeps us from building the vibrant neighborhoods young people want, we need to rethink the rules.
