Here's what the candidates had to say
We need our downtown to be the economic engine that it once was, with thriving businesses, and a robust presence of residents, workers and conventioneers. As mayor, I will partner with government agencies, businesses, and nonprofits to restore and activate downtown storefronts and host world class events.
My economic development team will work with landlords to use vacant ground floor space for pop-up galleries, restaurant innovations, recreation places, and even greenhouses with community access. I also want to start weekday Ciclovias, mass events for walking, biking, rolling and exercise. We will engage community and industry to create a bold vision to reposition commercial space glut. They can house dwellings, arts, nonprofit, childcare, education and healthcare in combination.I will fight for the future of downtown Denver by aggressively enforcing the camping ban to get the homeless into the mental health and drug addiction services they need and by adding 400 police officers to the Denver police department. A safe downtown is a revitalized downtown.
We also need to look at adaptive reuse in upper downtown. Many of our downtown skyscrapers were vacant before the pandemic. We have a huge opportunity to transform these massive buildings into housing units. The growth in housing will also serve to help revitalize downtown. I will promote zoning policies to make these types of developments feasible and bountiful.
The place to begin is with confronting the idea that people are unhoused through their own shortcomings, that they are to blame for their situation.
