Clear Creek Subcommittee was formed to offer high-level guidance for the City’s efforts to manage the issues created by overcrowding on Clear Creek during the busy summer months.

The subcommittee with host a forum to gather community feedback on Wednesday, April 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the Golden Community Center.

Learn more about Clear Creek Management Strategies on Guiding Golden.

Please join us on Monday, April 25 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall (911 10th St.) for another community meeting to discuss the Heart of Golden project as we continue to refine the final design.

The City has heard feedback from the public meetings in March and through engagement on Guiding Golden requesting we ensure the potential pathway from 8th Street to 10th Street would have minimal impact on the Community Garden and would be bicycle/pedestrian only. We have also heard that Pickleball and Tennis Courts within the Clear Creek Corridor are a priority for many members of the community. A location will be identified as a home for these popular recreation attractions along the corridor.

Visit Guiding Golden to view an interactive map of the concept design where you can pin thoughts and feedback.

Archaeology isn’t just about digs in exotic locations far away from here. Golden has a rich history that we’re still “uncovering”!

Learn more about the Astor House dig site, ask about a day in the life of an archaeologist, or just take a look at the artifacts. Amy specializes in social changes at Front Range historic sites and has also excavated at Plains sites in Colorado and North Dakota, at Classic Maya sites in Belize, and for the US Department of Defense on a World War II recovery mission in France.
