Clear Creek Corridor Master Plan
On January 14, 2010, Golden City Council approved a contract with Wenk Associates to prepare the Clear Creek Corridor Master Plan. The Master Plan guides the development and redevelopment of the corridor and covers a span of 10-15 years. The Scope of Work is focused on enhancing parkland and recreation opportunities, establishing cohesive character, improving circulation and parking, reducing user conflicts, improving opportunities for events and programmed activities, and ensuring an extensive public process.
The Master Plan public process included an advisory committee of community stakeholders, user and web surveys, public workshops and meetings.
On April 14, 2011, Golden City Council approved Resolution #2117 adopting the Clear Creek Corridor Master Plan.
