Dear Colfax Business friends:
If I haven't met you yet, I hope you will stop by Red Mango for a yogurt (on me) and a chat!
I
was so thrilled about the pretty new blue Greek Town street lights that
were erected a few months ago...and their lack of light bulbs was no
big deal for a while. But now, with the sun setting at 5pm and my
business feeling the effects, I really wish the job could be finished
quickly ... light bulbs and all!
I wrote to Councilwoman
Robb's office and one response is below. Should I just keep waiting, or
do you think there are other "pressure points"? Who could I nudge to
get bulbs installed before December?
If you have any advice or other contacts for me, please do share!
Peace and Fro-Yo,

Dear Councilwoman Robb:
Could
your office find out who is in charge of the new Greek Town Street
lamps on the 2300-2700 blocks of East Colfax? They've been up for many
weeks (maybe months?) but the bulbs have never been installed. I think
better lighting will really help the businesses in the area, especially
as the Denver Film Festival begins tomorrow, and the fall Daylight
Savings change, with its much earlier sunsets, is just a week away. My
shop, Twist & Shout, Tattered Cover, and the other family oriented
businesses in the Lowenstein, as well as East HS, look forward to the
new night-time lighting.
Thank you,
Katie Reinisch
Response:
Hi Katie,I am still waiting to hear back from the Public Information Officer for this project about more specifics but below is her initial response regarding the lights…“Work on the control cabinet power feed connections and meter installations is continuing and progressing well. As those power feeds are established, the new pedestrian lights will be turned on. We expect this work to continue through this month.”I just received an email from her this morning saying that she is still working on it though.Stay tuned..Thanks,EmilyEmily LiffAide to Councilwoman Jeanne Robb
