I-70 COVER OVERALL PLANNING PROCESSCDOT, DENVER, AND DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

NOVEMBER 2013 MARCH 2015 APRIL 2015FRAME WORK PLAN PUBLIC MEETING “PLAN YOUR PARK” COMMUNITY WORKSHOP PLAN PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

During the course of the development of a preferred design for the I-70 East reconstruction, CDOT, Denver and Denver Public Schools engaged the Elyria and Swansea Neighborhood to provide feedback on design options. Following preliminary identification of the Preferred Alternative in the Supplemental Draft EIS, the cover planning process was initiated. The community was invited to participate in the development of a preferred cover concept design.

In March 2015, Community Workshop #1 was held at Swansea Recreation Center to gather public input on the desired uses and organization of the I-70 cover and Swansea Elementary School outdoor space. Following a brief presentation on the history of the project and the common elements of successful open spaces, the community broke up into 10 tables of 6 to 10 people to participate in an interactive “Chip Game”.

The purpose of the Chip Game was to allow the community to locate desired uses across the site. Each table was supplied with a requirements list -including playground spaces, multi- purpose field and parking - for Swansea Elementary and a range of programmatic options for space outside of the school grounds. Through conversation and deliberation, each table developed a program and organization of uses for the cover.

Following Community Workshop #1, the Community Advisory Committee - comprised of neighborhood residents, business owners and Swansea Elementary personnel - was convened to review the Chip Game results, which were also grouped into three common themes. Based on comments from the Committee, the three themes were further documented to create three Conceptual Framework Options that also introduced concepts about pedestrian circulation to and through the cover and school sites.

MAY 2015 JUNE 2015 JULY 2015CONCEPT DESIGN REFINEMENT “THE SCORE CARD” COMMUNITY WORKSHOP PREFERRED CONCEPT CHOSEN

PREFERRED CONCEPT CHOSEN

Through direction from the Communty Advisory Committee, the three Conceptual Framework Options were further refined into two Preferred Design Alternatives for the I-70 cover. Included as part of the Alternatives were 3-dimensional perspective images that illustrated the proposed design qualities of cover. These Preferred Design Alternatives were again presented to the Community Advisory Committee, and the input and feedback from the Committee was used to further refine the Alternatives.

In June 2015, Community Workshop #2 was held at Swansea Recreation Center to gather public input on the Preferred Design Alternatives with the goal of using community input to select a Preferred Concept. Following a brief presentation on the history of the effort and details of the two Preferred Design Alternatives, the community broke up into tables of 6 to 8 people to participate in an interactive activity to evaluate the alternatives.

The purpose of the activity was to allow the community to evaluate the Alternatives based on their ability to meet the goals of the cover based on 5 distinct pieces of the plan: the Non-School Program Elements, Circulation, Field & School Yard Configuration, School Fencing Style, and the Clayton and Columbine Street Cover Extensions. Through conversation and deliberation at each table, each community member present at the Workshop was encouraged to fill out a scorecard that reflected the success of each plan relative to the 5 distinct elements.

Following Community Workshop #2, scores from the activity were compiled. In each of the 5 scored categories, Design Alternative 1 was ranked the highest among the two alternatives in meeting the goals of the cover project, although there were also some variations to Alternative 2 that were supported. Based on community feedback, the design team is currently developing a Preferred Conceptual Design for the cover and school site. This plan will be available for community review in August 2015.
