Spanish food is a whole lot different than Mexican food. It would be great to have a real Spanish restaurant in Edgewater.

The 6th and Sheridan local is a mexican nightclub. I would not want that here but it does look like it makes a ton of money. I would like to see something here other than that loud head banging music at the cooler. I can't hold a conversation or hear myself think when I leave that place. Every area that is successful like Glendale or Stapleton has entertainment that residents can walk to and outsiders are drawn to. An entertainment development would be a big plus for this community and would get my full support.

It looks like the Ice Ranch is still a good possibility.

Wouldn't it be great if that whole block became a wonderful little walk-to place with nice restaraunts and maybe a couple of unique little shops? Perhaps even a center island with a grassy area, benches and perhaps even a fountain?
It would take the Ice guys some doing to convince the current slumlord to work with them, but bigger miracles have happened!

It seems like such a long shot to me. In a down economy nightclubs, bars and resturants with comfort food do well. I envision something like the Southlands set up or Belmar. Keep in mind that St Anthony's Hospital is going away and no businesses are being planned in it's place only residential. It would be nice to make Edgewater the place people want to be instead of the trip downtown. A nice walking bridge over Sheridan connecting E/W to the Park. I see dollars rolling in and property values skyrocketing if the Manager does his job.

Nothing but sunshine ahead.

I wouldn't worry about the city manager doing his job. It's the rest of us that need to step up and support him.

I have always liked the idea of a bridge over Sheridan, but that is a big financial commitment and Denver would have to be in favor of both the idea and the financial input. An option would be to make a pedestrian island in the center with a walk signal on the island as well as both sides.

I think if memory serves me correctly John Moreno proposed such a project which was shot down. I wish we would have listened to him then. Would a grant be possible for such a project? Sheridan is so dangerous to walk across I won't let my kids do it.

Sheridan is a State Highway and the State is reluctant to do any thing in this area. Perhaphs we should call our State representatives and let them know the problem.

...and then there’s ADA. Bridges have been proposed and studied by many around here. Thinking it up again is the easy part but just try putting one on paper at actually works...

What about using lotto money from the parks since Sloans Lake is a Park? We might even use some of our Park money and Connect Sloans to Citizens Park , wouldn't that be great if it's possible.

Let's see. The Denver Parks Department, a State Highway and little old Edgewater. Sounds like pie in the sky to me. Why would Denver or the State Department of Highways spend millions of dollars to merge Sloans Lake with the swamp we call Citizens Park.
